Maryland Cannabis Sales
Aug, 2026
Overview
Maryland’s cannabis market continues to show robust performance, with August 2026 sales reaching $106.5 million. Over the past year, the market has maintained steady growth, posting a 5.1% year-over-year increase in sales and a 7.0% rise in units sold. While the average item price in Maryland sits at $27.19, it has remained relatively stable over the past year, suggesting a healthy balance between consumer demand and product availability. The market has experienced some monthly fluctuations, but the overall trend points to consistent expansion, especially following the surge in adult-use sales.
Despite a slight dip in sales and units from July to August 2026 (-2.3% and -2.2% respectively), Maryland’s pricing remains among the highest in the country. This premium pricing reflects both strong consumer demand and a product mix that leans toward higher-value items. The market’s resilience is further underscored by positive year-over-year growth, even as some mature states have seen declines.

Market Comparison
Maryland ranks among the top cannabis markets in the U.S. by sales, with its $106.5 million in August 2026 outpacing states like Nevada ($51.1M), Connecticut ($25.2M), and New Jersey ($100.9M). However, it trails larger, more mature markets such as California ($326.3M) and Michigan ($263.5M). Maryland’s average item price of $27.19 is notably higher than the national average, reflecting a premium market position—only New York, New Jersey, and Ohio report higher average prices.
Growth-wise, Maryland’s 5.1% year-over-year sales increase is on par with other expanding markets like Arizona (5.0%) and Missouri (5.2%), and ahead of mature markets such as California (1.1%) and Massachusetts (-1.1%). States like Ohio (18.9%) and New York (6.4%) are growing faster, but Maryland’s combination of high pricing and steady growth signals a healthy, sustainable market.

Beverage sales in August 2026 totaled $682K, up 20.4% year-over-year—the fastest growth among all categories. Average beverage prices have edged up to $6.57, yet unit sales have also climbed, indicating that consumers are willing to pay a premium for innovative drinkables.
Within Beverages, the "Drops, Mixes, Elixirs, and Syrups" segment posted the strongest year-over-year sales growth at 38.2%, while Water and Carbonated segments also saw double-digit gains. The top brands in this category are driving much of the excitement, with Keef Cola leading in both sales and units, followed by Vibations and Sunnies by SunMed.
