## The average purchase is about $44.

HARTFORD - Sales of recreational marijuana went over the $2 million mark since retail locations in Connecticut opened their doors last Tuesday.

The Department of Consumer Protection said Wednesday that sales were $2,020,358.12. There were 45,667 items sold, and the average sale was $44.24. These figures did not include tax. 

There are three taxes on the retail sale of marijuana, including the state’s  6.35% sales tax, a 3% sales tax dedicated to the municipality where the sale occurs, and a tax based on THC content that will cost approximately 10% to 15% of the sale price.

Retailers in Connecticut that have been licensed to sell cannabis products to all adults aged 21 and older include:

- Affinity Health and Wellness (*New Haven*)
- The Botanist – Danbury (*Danbury*)
- The Botanist – Montville (*Montville*)
- Fine Fettle Dispensary – Newington (*Newington*)
- Fine Fettle Dispensary – Stamford (*Stamford*)
- Fine Fettle Dispensary – Willimantic (*Willimantic*)
- RISE Branford (formerly Bluepoint Wellness of Connecticut) (*Branford*)
- Still River Wellness (*Torrington*)
- Zen Leaf Meriden (formerly Willow Brook Wellness) (*Meriden*)

Not all of the stores are open as yet.
