420 with CNW — NYC Ranks First Globally Among Ca
Post# of 527
A recent study reveals that New York City stands as the global leader in marijuana consumption, surpassing all other cities with an annual intake of 62.3 metric tons, equivalent to around 137,000 pounds. Conducted under the title “2023 Global Marijuana Price Index,” this comprehensive research effort was orchestrated by the CFAH, a reputable source for health-related information. The meticulous data collection spanned 140 urban centers worldwide, analyzing marijuana pricing trends.
The CFAH team closely scrutinized nations at the extremes of marijuana consumption, a criterion that aided in narrowing down the selection of cities for the study. The legal framework for marijuana in each geographical area played a pivotal role in this selection process. Ultimately, 140 cities were singled out to present a comprehensive and insightful global marijuana pricing comparison.
The CFAH relied on WHO data and analytics to capture the overall consumption landscape. Meanwhile, the pricing trends within the United States were modeled using the SARIMA method, which effectively accounts for data trends.
In terms of marijuana consumption, NYC differs from its peers by a large margin. Despite Australia’s official prohibition of marijuana, Sydney came in second with a consumption of 45.7 metric tons per year. Los Angeles, with an annual intake of 36 metric tons, took third place. Rome and Chicago, with 24.9 and 21.8 metric tons each, came in fourth and fifth, respectively. Other cities that were included in the study and made it to the top 20 list include Toronto, Houston, Tokyo, Vienna, Prague, Phoenix, Hamburg, Montreal, Vancouver, Melbourne, Uskudar, Philadelphia, Dublin, Annapolis and Denver.
Tokyo has the highest cannabis prices, commanding a rate of $33.8 per gram. Dublin, Ireland, came in second at $22.50, while Tallinn, Estonia, followed closely with $22.10 per gram. In contrast, Montreal, Canada, boasted the most affordable marijuana, priced at a mere $5.90 per gram. Following at $6 and $6.20 per gram, respectively, were Bangalore, India, and Notre Dame, Canada.
While the prevailing assumption often links legality to increased accessibility and subsequently reduced prices, the study highlights a more nuanced reality. Both the priciest and the most budget-friendly marijuana cities maintained a delicate equilibrium between legal and illegal statuses.
Among the ten cities with the highest marijuana prices, six enforced prohibitions while the remaining four legalized marijuana. Likewise, the cities offering the least expensive marijuana displayed a minor divergence, with six embracing legality and four upholding its illegal status.
These high marijuana consumption rates create openings for entities such as Advanced Container Technologies Inc. (OTC: ACTX) to do brisk business supplying cultivation equipment to the enterprises growing this marijuana for sale on the market.
