20 Cities with the Highest Weed Consumption in the US

2. Los Angeles, CA 

Total Weed Consumption: 35 metric tons per year

California is the state with the best weed in America in 2024, as per the quality and availability of the plant. It is also the Largest Cannabis Market in America by revenue, with $5.1 billion in recreational marijuana sales in 2023. However, this represented a 4.7% decrease from 2022, mostly due to declining retail prices, which peaked at an average of $35.23 per eighth ounce of flower in Q3 2020 but then decreased by more than $32% to $23.80 per eighth in Q2 2023. The tough competition from the black market also forces retailers to keep prices low, as 2 out of every 3 cannabis purchases are made in the illicit market.
