In January, the first week of recreational sales topped close to $3 million; the remaining weeks' sales ranged from $2.6 million to $2.8 million. In the first month, the state expects around $2.5 million in revenue from recreational sales alone.

When it comes to the 20% sales tax on recreational marijuana, the state will place $6 million of the tax revenue toward the Healing and Ending Addiction through Recovery and Treatment (HEART) program.

Those in so-called green counties, where a majority of residents voted in favor, will be allowed to have recreational sales. Residents of red counties, where voters opted out of legal sales, will not have recreational sales but still have the ability to make the switch as long as they put it up to a vote.
