On Friday, Colorado's Marijuana Enforcement Division released its official 2014 numbers about marijuana and edible pot sales, the size of the industry, and testing results. Here are some of the most eye-catching:

•74 tons of marijuana flower were sold in the state, roughly the size of 12 African elephants, or about 148 adult male polar bears.


•19 of the 74 tons were sold as "recreational," meaning medical use was 2x greater.


•Recreational users consumed vastly more edible marijuana products than medical users.


•4.8 million edible marijuana products like cookies, candy bars and drinks were sold in 2014—equal to almost one per Colorado resident.
