Arizona brought in nearly $24 million in marijuana tax revenue in June, contributing to over $146 million collected in the first half of 2025, according to new figures released by the Department of Revenue.
In June, the state garnered $3,994,365 from the marijuana transaction privilege tax (TPT)—comprised of $630,312 from medical marijuana sales and $3,364,053 from adult-use sales. Additionally, Arizona collected $7,577,897 from the state’s 16% excise tax on recreational marijuana, bringing total marijuana tax revenue for the month to $14,920,947. Once local and education taxes are included, overall marijuana-related collections for June reached $23,801,697.
From January through June of 2025, Arizona has collected $146,181,586 in cannabis tax revenue, a slight increase from the $145,971,892 earned during the same period in 2024.
Adult-use marijuana continues to significantly outpace medical marijuana in both sales and tax contributions, with medical revenue accounting for less than 5% of June’s excise-taxable sales.
Arizona voters approved the legalization of recreational marijuana through Proposition 207 in November 2020. The initiative, known as the Smart and Safe Arizona Act, allows adults 21 and older to possess up to one ounce of marijuana and cultivate up to six plants at home. The law officially took effect on November 30, 2020, and the state moved quickly to implement it. Recreational marijuana sales began less than two months later, on January 22, 2021, when the first licensed dispensaries opened their doors to the general public. Medical marijuana, meanwhile, has been legal in Arizona since voters approved Proposition 203 in 2010.
