A new kind of green is finding its ways into the coffers of Arizona 's community colleges. Arizona 's legalization of recreational marijuana has significantly impacted the state's community colleges, with Pima Community College being a primary beneficiary. In 2023, PCC received $6.7 million from marijuana tax revenue, during a year the state saw nearly $1.4 billion in sales. In 2024, officials expect close to $7 million.
