This is 25% more than the sales revenue recorded during the same time period in 2019. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These sales figures are featured in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kcaw.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/oct22.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">October edition of Trends<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: a monthly report published by the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/labor.alaska.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>COVID Pandemic Did Not Starve Cannabis\u2019 Success<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike other sectors, cannabis cultivation has not been drowned by the pandemic. Rather, it has been fueled to exceptional proportions, with Alaska\u2019s cannabis industry deemed to be the highest-growing of the nation in terms of job growth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A number of key takeaways are highlighted in the report, including the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marijuana cultivation and production catapulted 8.2% in 2020.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medical cannabis growers account for 40% of the state&#8217;s farmers, fishing, and forestry workers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Farming, fishing, and forestry sectors lend 80% of their growth to marijuana cultivation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\nMarijuana falls into the \u201cfarming, fishing, and forestry\u201d category, and according to state economists, the job growth in this category is generously fed by marijuana. Farmworkers and laborers make up most of the employee pool at 40%. Within the next decade, 80% of the sector\u2019s growth will likely emerge from agricultural and hands-on laboring roles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healthcare stands out as a major catalyst for job growth in Alaska, and the numbers indicate that there will be a big shift on the way. Now that the pandemic is over, it\u2019s likely that we\u2019ll see a surge of interest in this area. Interestingly, 14 of the top 25 fastest-growing jobs are in healthcare. Roles in this area are anticipated to receive<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 16% more growth in the coming decade.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Alaska\u2019s Cannabis Industry Is on a Steady Incline<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The people of Alaska have been indulged with legal marijuana since Nov. 4, 2014. Following the passing of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Measure 2, which passed with 53.2% of the vote, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">people aged 21 and above have been legally able to purchase marijuana for recreational purposes. Adults can possess a maximum of 1 ounce of marijuana and\/or grow six marijuana plants for non-commercial purposes. However, the limit stands at three mature plants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marijuana tax revenue estimates show that Alaska was projected to rake in $28.2 million in 2020, while the actual amount was $24.5 million. The following year, the state generated over $28 million in tax revenue. License records from the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commerce.alaska.gov\/web\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alaska Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> indicate that the state is home to more than 150 currently operating retail marijuana shops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dhss.alaska.gov\/dph\/Director\/Documents\/marijuana\/MarijuanaUse_PublicHealth_Alaska_2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 2020 report issued by the state health department<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that smoking was the most common method of cannabis consumption among Alaskans in 2017, with 86% of consumers lighting up to get their daily dose of cannabinoids. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on the report, most consumers favored the remedial qualities of cannabis for relaxation and tension relief. The report also highlighted an increase in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/pros-cons-consuming-edibles\/\">edible<\/a> consumption. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/vaping-and-vape-cartridges\/\">Vaping<\/a> may also transform the scene of cannabis smoke clouds into plumes of cleaner vapor for consumers who don\u2019t want to smoke. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">State-licensed entities that sell cannabis in a retail setting <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to individuals aged 21 and over are regulated statewide.
