The Arizona Department of Health Services’ (ADHS) annual medical marijuana program report shows that Arizona patients bought nearly 106 tons (211,556 lbs) of medical marijuana in 2020.

- Marijuana edibles: 4,981 lbs
- Other marijuana: 17,705 lbs
“Consider, that’s the equivalent of about 423,000 eight-ounce bags of Cheetos,” Howard Fischer noted via Tucson.com. “Or for those whose culinary hankerings are less salt-inclined, it’s nearly 2.2 million regular-size Hershey bars and almost 2.5 million packages of Twinkies.”
There were 295,295 active medical marijuana cardholders in 2020. Maricopa county had the vast majority of those cardholders.
- Maricopa County: 196,397

- Pinal County: 17,602
- Yavapai County: 12,268
- Coconino County: 6,220

If “an ounce of average weed goes for $200 — and there’s a whole lot of variables there — that’s more than $675 million expended in 2020 on medical marijuana,” Fischer stated.
