Best Weed Cities in the U.S.

Description and review of the Real Estate Witch ranking of the 2022 Best Weed Cities in the U.S.  Where does Sacramento rank?

Real Estate Witch, a real estate website, recently compiled a list of the top 50 Best Weed Cities in the U.S.  I was naturally interested to find out where Sacramento ranked.

SacramentoRevealed.com – All Things Sacramento (from a personal perspective)

Denver, CO took the #1 spot.  The cost of one ounce of high-quality weed in Denver is $242.  Denver also has 7x more dispensaries that the average city on the list (9.8 dispensaries per 100,000 residents).

Bringing up the rear at #50 is Washington, DC.  One ounce of high-quality weed in the nation’s capital will set you back $597.

Sacramento took the #3 spot on the the list.  Sacramento also holds the distinction of having the least expensive weed price for one ounce of quality weed of all 50 cities.
