Arizona marijuana market continues downward trend in February

2 months ago | greenmarketreport.com | John Schroyer

Arizona cannabis sales stats are down for the second straight year in a row, and have taken enough of a dip that the Arizona Mirror described medical marijuana sales as “cratering” and recreational sales as “softening.”According to sales figures from the state Department of Revenue, annual sales are down about 10% to $1.3 billion after three years of hitting at least $1.4 billion, according to analysis by the Mirror.

At least one of the major national marijuana trade organizations says it’s still hopeful that federal cannabis rescheduling will be completed under the new administration of President Donald Trump, but a spokesman said the timeline is completely up in the air for now, given the breadth of other political priorities the president has at the moment.
