29 tons of medical marijuana was consumed in Arizona last year

(Tucson) Arizona’s more than 114,000 medical marijuana patients smoked, ate or otherwise consumed more than 29 tons of the drug last year. That’s more than half of a fully loaded tractor-trailer’s worth of pot. Or, looking at it another way, it’s the equivalent in weight of more than 58,600 bags of Oreos. It’s also a 52 percent increase over the amount of pot legally sold in Arizona in 2015. And the 2015 numbers themselves were double the prior year’s.
