Health Canada’s most recent statistics indicate that Canadians bought close to 100 tonnes of legal, adult-use cannabis in the first year of legalization, BayStreet.ca Media Corp reports.

While sales amounted to approximately $1.27 billion, the lion’s share of that cash went into the pockets of the illicit market — legal sales estimated at about $417 million and unlicensed sales estimated at a whopping $860 million.

Despite sounding like a whole lot of weed, the quantity purchased through legal retailers fell short of projections from market analysts, indicating that licensed producers have failed to displace the illicit market, which continues to reign supreme.

The Bank of Nova Scotia (Scotiabank) predicted legal market demand would hit about 900,000 kg (900 tonnes) in the first year of legal sales, whereas CIBC World Markets predicted a more conservative 400,000 kg (400 tonnes).

While 100 tonnes sounds like a lot, how much exactly is it? Below, a photo gallery of how much legal cannabis Canadians bought from October 2018 through September 2019.
