BELLNGHAM, Wash. – It appears Washington state residents’ appetite for marijuana has leveled off.

In fact, 2022 was the first year since recreational cannabis became legal that sales were down from the previous year.

KOMO News reports numbers from the state Liquor and Cannabis Board show sales were down 8 percent last year compared to 2021.

But the board says last years’ $515 million in legal sales were still the most of any year other than 2021.

There were 77 marijuana shop robberies in Washington state between January and April, but representatives from the Cannabis Board say there is no evidence crime caused the drop in sales.
