STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — Steamboat Springs marijuana sales are still on track to surpass $10 million this year, but for the first time there have been two consecutive months that have only shown single-digit increases over the previous year.
Sales were up 9 percent in August and 5 percent in September over the same months in 2016.
Steamboat marijuana store owners believe sales will eventually stabilize. The question is when will it happen?
“We’re going to see a plateau at some point,” Rocky Mountain Remedies co-owner Kevin Fisher said.
