Denizens of five boroughs consume 62.3 metric tons of pot per year, a figure that translates to a staggering 62 million grams, or 6.9 grams a year consumed by the city’s average resident.
New Yorkers pay $12.5 a gram on average, which is $5.50 more than in Portland, the US’ cheapest cannabis city, but considerably less than in Washington, DC, where weed goes for an average of $19 per gram, according to the study.
“New York City is the global capital for many things, so it’s no surprise cannabis is one of them,” Osbert Orduna, CEO of The Cannabis Place, a Queens-based licensed cannabis delivery service, told The Post. Sydney residents actually consumer more marijuana on average than New Yorkers, according to the study, because that city has fewer residents.
