Minnesota marijuana sales grow, but hurdles remain

By the numbers: There are now 153 licensed retailers in the state, although not all of them have opened.

What we're watching: One of the state's few testing facilities has decided to shut down after regulators pulled its license, according to the Star Tribune.

• That could exacerbate a backlog that has kept retailers from building up their inventory.

💰 With product scarce, prices remain high. The median price of a gram of flower was $14.52 in May.

• Experts predict prices will decline eventually.
