5 U.S. Cities with the Highest Weed Consumption in 2023

2. Los Angeles, CA 

Total Weed Consumption: 35 metric tons 

California is the state with the best weed in America in 2023, as per the quality and availability of the plant. It is also the state that sells the most weed. 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, due to the state’s excessive taxes, currently 2 out of every 3 cannabis purchases are made in the illicit market. 

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