DENVER, Aug. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Business intelligence from Akerna (Nasdaq: KERN), an enterprise software, leading compliance technology provider, and developer of the cannabis industry’s first seed-to-sale enterprise resource planning (ERP) software technology (MJ Platform®), predicts that the upcoming Labor Day weekend, September 3 – September 6, will bring in over $240,000,000 in legal national cannabis sales.
Friday, September 3, will be the largest sales day of the weekend, with a predicted $90,000,000 in sales, up 62% from daily average sales. This would be the second-highest sales day of 2021, falling after 4/20, the unofficial cannabis consumption holiday.
