State of the Minnesota Cannabis Market: September 2026
State of the Minnesota Cannabis Market: September 2026
By Jaycub | MN Cannabis Hub | Published 2026-09-16
This report is generated from the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management Cannabis Market Monitor. Every sales, license, product, and plant figure below was read from the named Power BI chart on that dashboard. If a month is not on the chart, it is not in this report. A press release can sit next to the dashboard; it cannot replace a missing monthly sales row.
The headline: the latest official monthly sales on the dashboard are July 2026 at $27,545,925 combined. September 2026 monthly sales are not published on this dashboard extraction. This report does not substitute an estimate. Trailing-twelve-month sales on the Market sales (TTM) card are $234,346,820.

Missing monthly sales
September 2026 monthly sales are not published on this dashboard extraction. This report does not substitute an estimate. When OCM adds the month to the Total market sales chart, the daily ingest will import it and this page will be patched. Until then, do not read a growth rate for September.
Monthly sales from the Total market sales chart
The dashboard keeps a rolling window. Months that have rolled off this extract remain in our stored history only if they were captured earlier. The table below is exactly the window returned by the Total market sales column chart on this check.

Licenses from the Cannabis business licenses issued chart
A license is not an open store. This table is the dashboard's issued-license mix, not a dispensary directory count. Use the dispensary directory for consumer-facing status.
| License type | Issued | Social equity |
|---|---|---|
| Cultivator | 20 | 19 |
| Delivery Service | 6 | 3 |
| Event Organizer | 5 | 0 |
| Manufacturer | 3 | 2 |
| Medical Cannabis Combination Business | 2 | 0 |
| Mezzobusiness | 22 | 20 |
| Microbusiness | 254 | 92 |
| Retail | 16 | 12 |
| Testing Facility | 5 | 0 |
| Transporter | 12 | 4 |
| Wholesaler | 10 | 2 |
| Total | 355 | 154 |

How this ingest reads the actual BI charts
The OCM Cannabis Market Monitor page is a Power BI publish-to-web report. MN Cannabis Hub does not scrape the page HTML and does not type numbers from a screenshot. The daily job asks the report for its layout, finds each catalogued visual by title plus data entity, and runs that visual's own prototypeQuery. If OCM renames a required chart, the job fails instead of reading a neighboring visual.
Charts in the current catalog:
- Total market sales (columnChart on the Retail Sales page, entity PublicDash_Sales), required.
- Market sales (TTM) (card on the Retail Sales page, entity PublicDash_Sales_ttm), required.
- Total transactions (TTM) (card on the Retail Sales page, entity PublicDash_Sales_ttm), required.
- Cannabis business licenses issued (tableEx on the Licenses page, entity Public_License_count), required.
- Sales by product type (TTM) (clusteredBarChart on the Product Sales page, entity PublicDash_Product_Revenue), required.
- Total living plants (card on the Cultivation page, entity PublicDash_NumberPlant), optional.
- Adult-use flower (card on the Product Sales page, entity PublicDash_PricePerGram), optional.
The ingest locates each chart by its title and data entity, then reruns that chart's stored query. That is the path that keeps this page honest when OCM republishes. It is also why a renamed required chart fails the job instead of quietly substituting a neighbor. The Total market sales chart is a rolling window: a new month is imported into stored history, and a revision to a stored month is reported rather than overwritten. Compare the live series on the market data sales page and the OCM dashboard explainer.
Statewide adult-use retail launched on September 16, 2025. A calendar-month report on the 15th is a snapshot of the dashboard that day. It is not a claim that OCM has closed that calendar month's sales. If September is missing from the sales chart, the scoreboard above already said so.
What this report is not doing
It is not estimating September sales. It is not treating a license as an opening. It is not treating trailing-twelve-month cards as a single month. It is not mixing the dashboard license table with a later press-release license total unless both sources are named. It is not mixing the living-plants card with a different plant figure from a press release. It is not merging medical and adult-use supply chains before January 1, 2027. For the statute, see Minnesota Session Laws, Chapter 123. For prices and deals, see Minnesota cannabis prices and current deals. For card and patient questions, see Minnesota medical cannabis.
What to watch next
The next official monthly sales row on the Total market sales chart, the next extraction stamp, and whether the license table and any later named release stay apart. When a new month appears on the chart, this series updates from that ingest, not from a guess. The public market data hub is the companion page for the stored series.
Frequently Asked Questions
Did Minnesota publish official September 2026 monthly sales? Not on this dashboard extraction. The latest official month is July 2026.
Where do these numbers come from? The OCM Cannabis Market Monitor. This edition used extraction 2026-09-01, accessed 2026-09-16. Each table names the chart it was read from. The ingest path is the same one behind the OCM dashboard page.
Is a license the same as an open dispensary? No. The license table counts issued licenses by type. Open-store status lives on the dispensary directory.
Why is the trailing-twelve-month sales card different from adding the months in the table? The TTM card is a twelve-month window. The Total market sales chart is a rolling six-month window. They are different charts. This report prints both and does not force them to equal.
Will this page change when August or another missing month is posted? Yes, if that month appears on the Total market sales chart. The daily ingest imports new months and regenerates this report from the new extract. Until the chart shows the month, this page will not invent it.
How do I follow the next update? Watch this series and the market data dashboard. The daily ingest reads the same Power BI charts. If you need a medical card, start with Minnesota medical cannabis.

Sales, licenses, product mix, transactions, plant counts, and the adult-use flower price card are copied from the live Power BI visuals named above. Missing months stay missing.
