Sacramento is ’cannabis capital of California,’ study says. What makes it a top weed city?

Sacramento is one of the best cities in the nation for cannabis fans, according to a new study.

Real Estate Witch and Leafly, an online cannabis guide and marketplace, analyzed 50 of the largest metropolitan cities in the United States and ranked them as the best — and worst — cities for weed.

Denver topped the list of the Best 15 Weed Cities in first place, followed by Portland, Oregon, in second place.

Sacramento was No. 8, while other California cities appeared lower on the list.

“Sacramento is the cannabis capital of California, ranking No. 1 in the Golden State for the third straight year,” according to the study. The study found that cannabis prices in Sacramento are the most affordable. Individuals can find a “high-quality ounce” for $212, which is about $106 less than the average price of $318. Washington, D.C., has the highest price per ounce at $597, the survey said. The city has held that record for three years in a row.

“Sacramento stands to be the epicenter of high-quality indoor cannabis in the legalization era,” said David Downs, senior content manager at Leafly. “Sacramento pot is the sleeper hit of the state. If you want a picture of the future, it’s happening in Sacramento first.” [Read More @ The Sacramento Bee]
