5 Cities with the Highest Weed Consumption in the World

1. New York, NY, USA

Total Weed Consumption: 62.3 metric tons 

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul earlier this year projected $1.25 billion in revenues from a legal weed market over the next six years, with $56 million in revenues in the first year alone – after statewide legal sales began in December 2022. 

Legal cannabis is expected to generate 63,000 jobs across New York by 2025, according to an estimate by CannabizTeam, an industry executive search and staffing firm. The creation of new jobs would be a boon for The Big Apple, which has lagged behind the rest of the country in recovering employment lost during the pandemic. 

New York is the City that Consumes the Most Weed in the World.
