It looks like recreational marijuana use is big bucks for Arizona. Medical marijuana usage plummeted as recreational use soars to a new high.

According to the Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR), adult-use (recreational) marijuana sales rose over $58.2 million in June. Medical marijuana usage sales sank to an all-time low at $33.7 million.

In May, the ADOR states revenue sales for recreational use at $71.5 million, with medical use seeing $45 million revenue.

This is the seventh time recreational marijuana sales surpassed medical marijuana use in monthly sales since December 2021. April 2022 saw the highest earned adult-use sales, $72 million, ABOR reported, and medical marijuana sold $50.3 million.

From December 2021 to June, recreational marijuana sales rose to over $70 million for the fifth time.

Overall total from January 2021 to June 2022, recreational marijuana revenue is at more than $1 billion, according to ABOR.

Medical marijuana total amount in pounds sold plummeted from a total of 9,274.29 pounds in January to 6,632.09 pounds in July, according to the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS).

  1. I am able to create $88/h to complete few jobs on home computer. ~q1~ Ive never thought that its even achievable but my closest mate earning $25k only within five weeks simply working this leading project & she had convinced me to joinDiscover extra details by going following link………_๐‘ฉ๐’Š๐’›๐‘ท๐’‚๐’š1.๐’„๐’๐’Ž

  2. Well there you go plummeted to true patients not the patients that used the card for profit and association. I received my card in 2012 had so many asking for help to score. Didn’t like going thru the illegal market built by regulation to plunder

    It would be interesting to see alcohol sales in the same month, drunk driving arrests, other regulated drug sales like methadone. I would guess these too would decline
    per capita. All this savings going to civil servant retirement. This would depend on AZDHS/mmj charting this in the matrix. Then the whatever board agreed then doing a study on compiling the results, then we will get back to you.

    We have talked about expungement, we talked about social justice targets, we talked about community involvement, talked about dispensary restrictions codes zoning, we talked about testing, we talked on who to vote for as marijuana was the only reason to vote for this person. WE HAVE TALKED EVERYTHING ABOUT THE BUSNIESS OF MARIJUANA.

    Almost nothing on the responsibility of the AZDHS/mmj. When I go to other states like Washington they list the 4 categories of THC along with CBD. Anyone who has researched marijuana for medical therapy understands this. I would bet 5%of the bud tenders dont understand this. For instance a patient was looking for THCN to supplement a CBD therapy they need to over medicate. I have gone to the autism conference Riverside 2016 on line Denver 2018 put on by doctors evidently ADHS/mmj does not seem to align themselves with international conferences of 300 doctors and 17,000 administers. Cant divert monies to replicate already done studies many nurses in need?

    The Civil servant unions which there is no competition to them needs a union. The trades associations tried together to supply insurance and a retirement. This was turned down by the courts as unionizing illegal as as people working in the industry to supply marijuana unionizing would be illegal in ARIZONA. You pay you dont get the right to be a first rate citizen.

    What you are buying from dispensaries are GMH of THC designed to give a short burst then taper quickly on the amino acids. Higher centration’s available to Medical in edibles a push to get medical off smoking as not good. Vape Flower has not been very successful on the whole only thing AZDHS/mmj is concerned about totals. hen we will administer we will have NUMBERS whoppi it’s so pathetic.

    Does anyone understand that law enforcement is the 24th most dangerous job in America. (https://www.facilities.udel.edu/safety/4689/) yet we give them union rights retirement rights medical coverage options career advancement opportunities. Caesar Chavez started the Grape workers union in YUMA Where is Raul on that he gets paid to keep civil servant unions and to keep out workers unions out.

  3. Just a note why is it necessary to record your license and keep file on record. Simply to look verify your of age why take a copy and record that if it is legal. Do we record every alcohol purchase in the value of public health and safety we have the vehicle to record lets expand it.
