How to use and cite this data
Charts should be read with their displayed period, unit, and update date. OCM sales and licensing data can be revised after initial publication. MN Cannabis Hub preserves verified monthly history, labels unavailable values instead of estimating them, and separates issued licenses from confirmed open storefronts. When citing a figure, include the month and source shown beside it.
