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.
Not sure what more substance you need, we integrate with close to 30 different POS providers, that's it. There is no law mandating realtime reporting. Every transaction from thousands of retailers is represented... What more do you want to know?
