Marijuana sales in Nevada were strong for the month of February. A Department of Taxation report says taxable sales of adult-use marijuana topped $35.3 million for the month, up 9 percent from January but short of the $35.8 million sold in December. State economist Bill Anderson says February was the third-largest sales month in the eight months since recreational-use sales began last July. Anderson says taxes on medicinal and recreational marijuana brought in just under $6 million, and the nearly $42 million in tax revenue from those sales is already nearing the $50.3 million projected for the entire year.
