California has taken in nearly $4 billion in cannabis tax revenue since the state’s adult-use market launched in 2018, the Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) reported on Thursday. But figures over the past year and a half are “flat,” legislative analysts reported.

While that’s lower than what California collected in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2021 when it received roughly $317 million in cannabis tax dollars, it’s also the case that figures are routinely updated after initial publication due to “amended and late returns and other tax return adjustments,” CDTFA said.
