Minnesota cannabis numbers, reconciled
These figures answer different questions. The July sales row is one month; the trailing-twelve-month card covers a rolling year; and the September 15 press release uses its own period and reporting date. They should not be added together or treated as competing totals.
Dashboard extraction: September 1, 2026. Press release: September 15, 2026. This is a dated comparison, not a live dashboard.
The figures and their boundaries

OCM described roughly $150 million adult-use and $100 million medical retail sales. This is approximate and belongs to a later source vintage. OCM press release

Why 355 and 369 both appear
| Figure | Definition and date | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 355 issued licenses | OCM dashboard table in the September 1 extract; 154 designated social equity. Licenses are not necessarily open storefronts. | Hub report |
| 369 licensed businesses | OCM September 15 press statement. Later date and different wording; do not splice into the earlier dashboard table. | OCM press release |

Method and source trail
The monthly series, $234,346,820 trailing-twelve-month card, and 355-license table come from the OCM Cannabis Market Monitor as recorded in the Hub September 2026 State of the Market report (September 1 extraction). The over-$250-million and 369-business figures come only from the OCM September 15 press release. Dashboard figures can be revised; preserve the source date when citing them.
