And it’s not just Colorado residents who are smoking tons of pot it’s visitors too. The study indicated that total market demand for marijuana in Colorado is about 130 metric tons a year—about 121 metric tons for residents and almost 9 metric tons for visitors. Apparently visitors account for 44 percent of recreational marijuana retail sales in the Denver area, but near the mountains and other vacation spots, visiting stoners account for 90 percent of recreational dispensary traffic.
And apparently Stoners like pot a lot more than researchers thought because these numbers were nearly a third higher than the ones recently projected by CO’s Department of Revenue, which regulates the marijuana industry. They originally thought that a third of marijuana users smoked weed less than once a month, in fact only 0.3 percent of pot smokers smoke that infrequently. “Heavy users consume marijuana much more often, and more intensely, than other consumers,” the study authors concluded. No shit, right?
