Medical marijuana patients and caregivers bought about 3 tons of cannabis last year, spending about $33 million to purchase the drug, according to a new state report released Thursday.
Patients were more likely to buy marijuana on Fridays and Saturdays, according to the “Arizona Medical Marijuana Act End of Year Report.” The report is compiled by the state Department of Health Services, which oversees the medical marijuana program.
The report, for the first time, quantifies how much marijuana patients are legally purchasing, although it remains unclear how much pot is being grown by caregivers, who, in some instances, can legally cultivate the plant.
