Biggest weed-consuming cities in the world?

Discussion in 'General' started by etty, Sep 19, 2010.

  1. Does anybody happen to know what the biggest weed-consuming cities in the world? I'd think Los Angeles would be pretty high up there because of the population and how easy it is to get a medcard, plus Amsterdam because it seems like the main hotspot for weed tourism. I dunno what else would be up there, maybe Kingstown? Just curious. :p
     
  2. Mexico City.
     
  3. most likely a city in northern california
     
  4. I voted all 4 options, WIN for me;)
     
  5. Definitely cali ..
     
  6. Im going to have to agree, i would also say no city in the us.
     
  7. Miami FOR SURE lol.
     
  8. Oakland/SF, California. Nuff said. Walk down the street, someone will be smoking a blunt or j, and no one will say shit! :smoke:
     
  9. well i voted LA.

    larger population so more weed smokers.
     
  10. i voted for all 4 just because your poll let me;)

    It's probably a bit hard to say I don't think anyone collects statistics of cannabis smokers/city.

    But here are OECD percentages by country.. Kind of unexpected results I think:


    Rank \tCountries \tAmount
    #\t 1 \tNew Zealand:\t22.23% \t
    #\t 2 \tAustralia:\t17.93% \t
    #\t 3 \tUnited States:\t12.3% \t
    #\t 4 \tUnited Kingdom:\t9% \t
    #\t 5 \tSwitzerland:\t8.5% \t
    #\t 6 \tIreland:\t7.91% \t
    #\t 7 \tSpain:\t7.58% \t
    #\t 8 \tCanada:\t7.41% \t
    #\t 9 \tNetherlands:\t5.24% \t
    #\t 10 \tBelgium:\t5.01% \t



    I thought Canada would be higher than most.


    Kind of different from the list on Wikipedia:

    Country or Entity\tAnnual prevalence (per cent)\t
    Papua New Guinea\t29.5
    Federated States of Micronesia\t29.1
    Ghana\t21.5
    Zambia\t17.7\t
    Canada\t16.8\t
    Sierra Leone\t16.1
    Haiti\t16.1\t
    Nigeria\t13.8\t
    New Zealand\t13.4\t
    Australia\t13.3\t
    USA\t12.6\t
    Morocco\t11.8\t
    Spain\t11.3\t
    Czech Republic\t10.9
    England & Wales\t10.8\t
    Jamaica\t10.7\t
    France\t9.8\t
    Switzerland\t9.6\t
    Guatemala\t9.1


    Probably never going to get very reliable results from these studies.

    Operation for Economic Co-Operation and Development, a body of 33 countries who basically monitor economic progress/make decisions in terms of economy. I was referring to their per capita percentage of cannabis smokers.

    As you can see it's mostly Western countries/highly developed countries who make up the OECD.

    The city with the highest gross consumption of weed would probably be Mexico City, if I had to hazard a guess. Per capita... well that's a question we'd need statistics to answer.
     
  15. i actualy know from watching the union it said us 45 percent canda 35 mexico 15 and city whise id have to say humbolt county
     
  16. id say toss up between el paso san diego/francisco or detroit
     
  17. I'd say that LA would probably be the highest with amsterdam close behind for the total amount of smokers, but per capita I'd say that Denver would have to be pretty damn high.
