Portland Wins The Questionable Title Of “The Best City For Cannabis In America”
In a recent (and well researched study) by RealEstateWitch, the homebroker found that Portland topped all other American cities when it came to cannabis.
Overall, Portland gained number one spot by the following criteria
- Being fully legal
- Having 0.1 cannabis doctors per 100k resdients (national average 0.3)
- Having 13.7 dispensaries per 100k residents (national average 3.1)
- Dispensary average rating of 4.5 (national average 3.7)
- High quality price of cannabis being $210 (national average $316)
- Mid quality price of cannabis being $187 (national average $252)
Despite these results, many Portlanders still remain skeptical, with some claiming California to be the best, whilst others referring to Florida as #1. For what it’s worth Denver CO took second place, whilst Buffalo NY came in third.
In Portland, cannabis has been legalized for both medical and recreational use. Adults over the age of 21 can purchase and possess cannabis products in various forms, including flowers, edibles, tinctures, and concentrates, from licensed dispensaries.
There are numerous dispensaries located throughout the city, and many of them offer a wide range of cannabis products, including strains with varying levels of THC and CBD. Some dispensaries also offer cannabis delivery services for those who are unable or unwilling to visit a physical location.
While cannabis is legal in Portland, it is important to note that there are still regulations and restrictions in place. For example, it is illegal to consume cannabis in public or to drive under the influence of cannabis. It is also illegal to sell or distribute cannabis without a license.
Overall, Portland has a thriving cannabis culture, and many residents and visitors enjoy the benefits that cannabis can provide, whether for recreational or medicinal purposes.
