California was also the first state in the U.S. Los Angeles benefits from a newer cannabis tradition - one that has gotten a boost since its home state’s 2016 full-scale legalization. Unlike neighboring Pakistan, the bhang consumed in India is legally available at certain state-designated shops. New Delhi / India - 38.26 metric tons per yearĪt the intersection of population size, traditional use, and low price point comes the first of India’s two cannabis capitals.It is revered in Hinduism’s Atharva Veda as one of the five sacred plants, and is widely consumed in the form of hashish and bhang at the list’s third-lowest price point. However, it shouldn’t be - despite being completely illegal in Pakistan, cannabis has a long indigenous tradition. Karachi / Pakistan - 41.95 metric tons per yearįor many, this was the first surprising result on the list.Its high-ranking per-capita income likely helped its result, as might its cultural ties to the plant. Lately it’s been mostly permissive toward the substance, with its longtime partial decriminalization progressing in the past year, and full legalization on the indefinite horizon. New York nearly doubles the total consumption of next-highest-ranked city this despite its back-and-forth attitude toward cannabis. Without further ado, here are the world’s top overall cannabis-consuming cities: The Planet’s 10 Most Cannabis-Friendly Cities High per-gram prices figured into Beijing’s low rank relative to its population, and factors such as low per-capita income may explain why Mexico City and Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh and the 6th-most populous city in the world, missed the list as well. Japan’s strict enforcement regime prevented Tokyo and Osaka, two of the world’s 10 most populous cities, from making the cut.
They are located in both countries where cannabis is legal and where it’s illegal - though a huge population alone isn’t enough to guarantee a spot on the list.
The cities that make up the cannabis consumption top 10 are unsurprisingly some of the most populous in the world. German content marketing agency ABCD teamed with hydroponic device maker Seedo on the new list, which measures the total tax potential of the world’s cannabis capitals by measuring their total consumption levels and extrapolating the potential revenue by using their cigarette tax levels and the average legal cannabis tax levels in the U.S.
For many of the top-ranking cities on the ABCD 2018 Cannabis Price Index, a low cost-per-gram metric and a large population were the top indicators for inclusion (to illustrate: Amsterdam, the world’s 128th-most populous city, ranked just 56th in ABCD’s rankings, despite its famous cannabis cafes and its reputation as a cannabis user’s paradise). A city’s openness to cannabis isn’t always measured in terms of legality.
