What state is number one for pot sales? Not Washington.

I am not a cannabis user, although I do have some friends who are. One of the questions that pops up from time to time, (believe it or not). What states population consumes the most cannabis? 

Well, now we have the answer. (Kinda.) 

According to suretybonds.org,
“With the American cannabis industry booming, where is it growing the most this year? To find out, we analyzed revenue potential across all 50 U.S. states and pinpointed where consumers can find the most value for the best cannabis products.” 

When pot became legal in Washington state, you thought that the average person's head would explode. I remember being at a Music festival a couple years back, Pot was legal and the next act up was Commander Cody.

He was enchanted with the idea that pot was legal in Washington state. He was so excited about it that just before he went on stage, he took a huge hit, looked up into the sky yelled at the top of his lungs, “Yeaaaah” then went on stage and rocked the crowd for 90 minutes straight. 

So here are some stats. 

According to suretybonds.org,
“Key Takeaways
