Walk-in sales indicate these stores are everywhere . It's kind of scary to be honest.
I'm wondering who, angry and scared about the state of society, is checking out, rather than speaking out.

Yeah, weed is probably bad for you, given enough of it. It turns out there's no safe dose of alcohol, and no one’s figured out where weed’s harm eventually kicks in, so why worry about its societal effects which we know are vastly lesser?
I drink beer and don't use weed. All of the above is from someone who couldn’t care less about marijuana for themselves.

What is the scary part?
It's high potency THC with things like live resin to get you even higher. It's marketed casually like alcohol. Teens and new adults casually getting into this stuff will have issues especially if they are predisposed to a variety of mental issues. The same is true for people who are depressed and use alcohol to "chill out", it's never ends well. We as a society don't have any clue when we roll out these "new features…

Hello OP, do you work for sales? So much bluster in your site but so little substance in this answer. Is there a law mandating realtime reporting, or something, or are there just limited number of POS providers and they all have realtime API(s)?

Not real time in WA, but all records are public and reported fairly consistently. See https://www.topshelfdata.com for an example of that.

This is Headset who is probably the largest retail POS provider (amongst other offerings on the producer/processor side and more) for legal marijuana sales. I'm assuming the data presented here is exclusively from their POS platform. I don't know of any public sources for real time sales data.

Yes I'd also bet Johnny doesn't report his sales to a central database/platform.

The irony is my hippie uncle hates how legalization took away a lot of the culture surrounding weed in terms of bonding over the illegally and cooperatively hiding each others "bad habits."
