ARIZONA MARIJUANA SALES SURPASSED $1.4 BILLION IN 2023, WITH BULK OF
TRANSACTIONS COMING FROM ADULT-USE BUYERS

Recreational sales amounted for more than 76% of the total, an increase from the
70% of sales it represented in 2022. In 2021, the first year adult-use
recreational sales were legal, they were just 45 percent of the total.
By David Abbott, Arizona Mirror
Arizona cannabis sales totaled more than $1.4 billion for the third consecutive
year in 2023, as medical sales continued to tank and recreational buyers made up
an overwhelming share of the sales.

Marijuana Can Help Increase Orgasm Frequency & Satisfaction For Women
A recent study shows the benefits of cannabis, including increased orgasm
frequency, enhanced satisfaction, and greater ease in reaching orgasm. The
survey of 387 women found that more than half (52 percent) said they experienced
orgasm difficulty. “It’s a medical condition that deserves medical treatment.
Women with female orgasmic disorder (FOD) have more mental health issues. They
have more anxiety, depression, PTSD, more sexual abuse histories. It’s not just
about pleasure, it’s about a human right.” The new research reflects those
observations: Women with FOD reported 24% more mental health issues than women
without FOD. “Among respondents reporting orgasm difficulty, cannabis use
before partnered sex increased orgasm frequency, improved orgasm satisfaction or
made orgasm easier,” the study found. Regardless of sex or gender, there’s
growing evidence that marijuana can improve sexual function. One study found
that more than 70% of surveyed adults said cannabis before sex increased desire
and improved orgasms. A 2020 study meanwhile found that women who used cannabis
more often had better sex.

The maturation of the market has followed a trajectory throughout the brief
history of the passage of the Smart and Safe Arizona Act, Prop. 207, in 2020,
leaving medical sales in the dust at less than one-third that of the
recreational market.
Recreational marijuana sales for 2023 totaled about $1.1 billion, and medical
contributed $348 million for total 2023 sales reaching $1.43 billion.
Recreational sales amounted for more than 76 percent of the total, an increase
from the 70 percent of sales it represented in 2022. In 2021, the first year
adult-use recreational sales were legal, they were just 45 percent of the total.
Since January 2021, recreational sales have totaled $2.8 billion, while medical
has brought in slightly more than half that at $1.65 billion.
The medical market dropped below $40 million in July 2022, and has not come near
that mark in the ensuing months. Medical sales reached a peak of $73.4 million
in April 2021, but since the inception of the dual market, medical sales have
reached new lows seemingly every month.
Recreational sales, which began in late January 2021, have fluctuated between
$80 million and $93.5 million since July 2022. Since then, they hit a high-water
mark of $100 million in March 2023 settling in at the mid- to lower-$80 million
range.
But recreational sales did dip in January 2024, registering just $76.8 million,
the lowest since February 2022’s $72.8 million. It is the first time since June
2022 that monthly recreational marijuana sales fell below $80 million.
The medical side has seen consecutive record-worst months, coming in at $25.4
million in December 2023 and just $21.5 million in January 2024.
The state collects a 16 percent excise tax on recreational sales in addition to
the standard sales tax; medical patients pay roughly 6 percent in state sales
tax. Local jurisdictions charge an additional 2 percent or so for all marijuana
sales.
In January, medical sales contributed $1.8 million in sales tax revenue and
recreational was nearly $12.3 million in excise tax, with an additional $6
million in state sales tax. For the entirety of 2023, the recreational market
contributed $172.8 million in excise tax; since January 2021, recreational sales
have generated more than $451 million in excise taxes.
One-third of revenue raised by the excise tax is dedicated to community college
and provisional community college districts; 3 percent to public safety,
including police, fire departments, fire districts and first responders; 25
percent to the Arizona Highway User Revenue Fund; and 10 percent to the justice
reinvestment fund, which is dedicated to providing public health services,
counseling, job training and other social services for communities that have
been adversely affected and disproportionately impacted by marijuana arrests and
criminalization.
The Arizona Department of Health Services has reported a steady decline in
medical cannabis program participation, as the number of qualifying patients
continues to drop every month.
As of February, there were 111,168 qualifying patient cardholders, a drop from
January’s 113,694, which was in turn 2,000 patients below the 115,914 in
December 2023. At the height of the medical market, there were 299,054
qualifying patients.
In February, Arizona medical cannabis consumers purchased 4,754 pounds of
marijuana in various forms, down from 4,808 reported in January. So far this
year, Arizona medical marijuana patients have purchased 9,562 pounds.
