Alaska

Alaska legalized cannabis for adult use in a citizen’s initiative on the November 4th 2014 ballot. The initiative directed the newly formed Marijuana Control Board to adopt regulatory guidelines for commercial marijuana establishments and mandated the new agency account for sales and exchanges within the newly legalized market. Growers, manufacturers, and retailers would have to be licensed and registered. The Marijuana Control Board contracted Metrc in 2016 to assist the state in regulating the market. Owing to its success in managing and regulating Alaska’s emerging cannabis industry, the state of Alaska renewed Metrc’s contract for another five years in 2021.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Partnership Start: March 2016

The size of the Alaskan cannabis market continued to post steady growth over the last year. The Alaska Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office (AMCO) reported last December that, with a $50-per-ounce sales tax on cannabis flower, proceeds on cannabis were coming close to eclipsing proceeds collected by the state on alcohol sales. AMCO data shows that total retail cannabis sales in Alaska hit $180 million in 2019, an almost 40 percent increase over 2018 ($130 million). Total retail sales from program inception to December 2020 are estimated at more than $600 million.
