The report is in: Colorado sold 66 tons of marijuana in 2014.
The Colorado Department of Revenue's Marijuana Enforcement Division released its annual report on Friday, which highlighted data surrounding the state's decision to legalize marijuana both for medical and recreational purposes.
According to its website, the organization is "tasked with licensing and regulating the Medical and Retail Marijuana industries in Colorado."

The 42-page report included everything from data on licensing, to the amount of medical versus retail marijuana sold. The organization also recognized itself as being the "the regulating agency of the world’s first legal retail marijuana industry, along with regulating the medical marijuana industry."
However, at 42 pages long and reading like most government issued documents do -- it's boring. So here's the TL;DR, along with some pretty pictures of marijuana and marijuana products:
