The price for an ounce of cannabis in Massachusetts plunged from $394 in 2020 to $145 in 2024, according to an analysis by the trade publication Cannabis Business Times. An ounce of weed in Michigan cost $84 in 2024, down from $419 in 2020. Maine prices dropped from $449 to $206.
Weed prices are tumbling at a time when shoppers expect to pay more for nearly everything else. Consumer prices are 24% higher, on average, than at the start of 2020, Bankrate reports.
“I’d call it a collapse,” said Ross Gordon, a policy analyst at Origins Council, a group that represents small cannabis farmers in California.
In California, wholesale cannabis once cost more than $1,000 a pound, Gordon said. “And now we’re down to maybe $250 a pound, which is below the cost of production for, certainly, the majority of small farmers.”
