This includes $156.9 million in marijuana excise tax and $112.4 million in business sales tax revenue.
Previously released second quarter revenue for 2023 has been revised to $285.1 million, which includes $164.8 million from cannabis consumption tax and $120.3 million from sales tax. These revisions were made based on amended and overdue tax filings, as well as other tax adjustments.

In addition, the report does not include unpaid or pending tax bills, as well as local taxes collected by city and county governments. The report also mentions the repeal of a cultivation tax of $501 million, effective from July 1st, 2022, following the passage of the Marijuana Tax Reform Act.
