The Grand Cannabis State
The New York Post reports that Arizona customers had purchased more than $1.23 billion worth of cannabis products since voters approved a referendum to legalize the drug for adult use in November of 2020. More than $196 million had been collected in taxes, according to Arizona’s Department of Revenue. Most of the new revenue was allocated to community colleges and county health departments.
The sales eclipsed the first year of adult-use sales in more populous Washington state, where we’re from, but we are not giving up!
