Delhi has ranked 3rd globally on a list for weed consumption, consuming 38.3 tons of weed in 2018. Mumbai is not too far behind, ranking 6th globally, consuming 32.4 tons of marijuana. The list included 120 cities with available data.
The study was conducted by ABCD, a data-driven media campaign outlet based in Germany that seeks to push for legalizing cannabis. ABCD also creates the Cannabis Price Index to find locations around the world that are ready to embrace cannabis legalization.
New York at the top of this list, at 77.4 tons while Karachi came second with 42 tons. Apart from American cities like New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, all other cities mentioned in the list are places where cannabis consumption has not been legalized yet, though Toronto sanctioned it just this year.
Interestingly, Amsterdam, every weed lover's paradise ranked a low 56 on the list of 120, with an annual consumption of just 3.6 tonnes.
This study also looked at the average price for these cities, and both Indian towns are one of the cheapest places to buy cannabis. The price in Delhi was $4.38 per gram (INR 315) and in Mumbai was $4.57 per gram (INR 328). The most expensive place to buy weed in Tokyo, at $32.66 per gram (INR 2,348)
The study also looked into the implications of legalizing weed in India. Delhi could stand out to raise Rs 725 crore, at the same tax rate of cigarettes. The figure for Mumbai is Rs 641 crore. If the average US tax rate on marijuana tax were applied, Delhi would raise Rs 225 cr and Mumbai Rs 199 cr, the study concluded.
