Illinois collected $19.2 million in tax revenue during August on recreational marijuana sales, up 38% from July, according to the Illinois Department of Revenue.
Since recreational weed became legal in January, the state has collected a total of $86 million in taxes.
Marijuana taxes vary by product and by the concentration of THC, the ingredient that gets users high, which is displayed on the packaging.
