Three Canadian cities among world's biggest cannabis consumers
Three Canadian cities have some of the highest cannabis consumption in the world, according to a new report.
The 2023 Cannabis Global Price Index collected cannabis prices from 140 cities around the world and ranked them from the least to most expensive.
The Index also used its data to rank the cities with the highest cannabis consumption.
To choose which cities to include in the ranking, the Index said it first examined the highest and lowest cannabis-consuming nations in the world.
It also looked at countries where cannabis is fully and partially legal, as well as where it is illegal, and used that information to pick its list of 140 cities.
According to the findings, New York City ranked first with 62.3 metric tons of annual cannabis consumption.
Sydney (45.8 metric tons of total consumption) placed second, followed by Los Angeles (35 metric tons of total consumption) in third.
