More Arizonans than ever hold medical-marijuana cards, boosting state-legal cannabis sales — and the tax revenue from them — to a new record.
Arizona patients bought 29 tons of cannabis products in 2016, according to records published today by the state Department of Health Services.
Included in the total are about 27 tons of buds and another couple of tons of edibles and concentrates like wax, shatter, and hash oil.
That’s a 53 percent increase over last year’s 19 tons of cannabis products sold.
