Data released Wednesday by Weedmaps revealed that New York consumers spent more on their individual cannabis purchases than in other markets. The average order value for New Yorkers on orders placed through the platform outstripped than the national average by more than 50% during the first quarter of 2024 ($123.16 in New York vs. $80.78 nationally).
In addition, New York has a 6% higher basket size through Weedmaps vs. the national average in the same period (2.35 items vs. 2.22 national).

Why am I not surprised?!
People pushed in front of onrushing subway engines. Old ladies surrounded and beaten on the way out of an ATM. Women joggers pulled into vans and gang raped. Tourists randomly slashed by madmen with machetes. Dozens of people shot each week.
But now.....
“We can be number one at something: spending on marijuana.”
——New Yorkers.
it’s probably because the taxes on it.
well...there IS a reason it’s called Dope. “IF you are what you eat then you are also what you smoke” L.Star
New Yorkers grow more Chiba than many other places.
Hot summers, plenty of water.
Shiiite grows like weeds.
New Yorkers spend more on weed?
Don’t blame them. If I lived in New York, I’d be stoned alla time.
All you gotta do is emerge from Penn Station or Grand Central and the aroma of smoked grass permeates all.
Surprised. I was recently in Michigan and the number of stores and the billboards, sometimes humorous, surprised me. Some of the stores were quite large. I also crossed into Canada. On the way back to the states a sign amused me. Weed is legal in both Ontario and Michigan. The sign pointed out you could face legal issues if you are found with weed at the border (fed controlled)
NYer’s … so much smarter than the rest. They don’t require weed to believe that delusional arrogance.
Everything costs more in New York City...
No big surprise. NY is like the anteroom to Hell. No wonder people are smoking their brains out.
Walking in New York City these days is like going to a Marshall Tucker concert in 1978
Would you believe that driving down a busy road in Florida with the windows down is alot like that?
Like it doesn’t show Los Angeles nods.
Maybe that’s the problem in NY. Weed can make you crazy regardless of Leftist conventional wisdom and popular culture.
If that is a per capita calculation, they need to do the survey again and next time include San Francisco. One can get a contact hi on cannabis smoke by just walking down the street, any street.
Is that better, or worse than urine? Seems like it would form a fusion hybrid of the two. Either way....
“Would you believe that driving down a busy road in Florida with the windows down is alot like that?”
Nope
I thought weed was suppose to make you mellow. At least that’s what the potheads on FR say.
