Why Phoenix is a Top Weed City in America

If you’re a cannabis enthusiast, the odds are good that you’ve asked yourself, “Which state has the best weed?” Maybe you’ve made it your personal mission to find the best 420-friendly spot in the U.S., or maybe it’s just one of many curious thoughts you’ve had on the topic. Whatever it was that sparked your interest, we’re here to join the conversation – and what we have to share might just surprise you.

When it comes to the best cities for marijuana in America, we’re proud to say that our very own Phoenix, Arizona, made the top ten list. Joining the ranks of cities like Denver and Los Angeles, Phoenix is proving to be a place where cannabis culture can truly bloom. Let’s take a closer look at how the Valley has become one of the most welcoming places to cultivate your love for cannabis.

What Makes Phoenix a 420-Friendly City

A quick glance at the numbers shows why Phoenix is a marijuana lover’s dream:

• Phoenix has 1.2 dispensaries per capita.
• Cannabis prices are more affordable in Phoenix than in many other major cities.
  • Phoenix residents pay $292 per ounce of high-quality cannabis (the national average is $318).
  • For consumers that purchase an average of one ounce per month, total cannabis costs in Phoenix come to just over $3,500 per year.

A recent study that assessed the best cannabis cities in the U.S. also considered a wide range of other factors, including a few fun parameters that might surprise you! Among the factors that were evaluated to determine how cannabis-friendly a city was, there were:

• The legal status of cannabis in that city
• The Google Trends data for about a dozen of the most commonly-searched cannabis keywords/terms
• The average price of one ounce of high-quality and/or medium-quality cannabis, measured every three months and compared to total annual income
• How many dispensaries were located within 25 miles (per 100,000 people)
• How many head shops were located within 25 miles (per 100,000 people)
• How many local hiking trails are in the area
• How many Taco Bells are in the city (per 100,000 people)
• How many small concert venues are located within 25 miles (per 100,000 people)
• How many music festivals take place within 100 miles of the location
• How many movie theaters are located within 25 miles (per 100,000 people)

While it’s true that some of these parameters are more fun than serious, there are a few key factors that really do prove what makes Phoenix such a great place for cannabis enthusiasts to live.
