5 Cities with the Highest Weed Consumption in the World

3. Los Angeles, CA, USA

Total Weed Consumption: 35 metric tons 

California is the place with the best weed in America. The Sunshine State generated $5.3 billion in legal sales last year, and tax revenues from cannabis reached over $1 billion in 2022, the highest in the country. However, the state’s excessive taxes are a problem for weedheads and currently 2 out of every 3 cannabis purchases are made in the illicit market. About two-thirds of California communities don’t allow legal marijuana activity, which helps the tax-free illegal market to flourish. 

According to the City of Los Angeles Department of Cannabis Regulations, there are 238 approved cannabis dispensaries in the city.
