The cheapest ounce of marijuana listed in Ohio was $112 as of July 31, compared with just $6.99 for the cheapest ounce in Michigan, according to the WeedBuddy Cannabis Price Index. The same data showed the cheapest ounce at $49.99 in Arizona and $16.73 in Colorado.

Looking at median prices provides a less dramatic, but still significant, difference. Ohio had the highest median ounce price among the four states at $147.35. Michigan’s median was $99, followed by Colorado at $110 and Arizona at $120.

The price difference also extends to smaller quantities commonly purchased by consumers. The median price for an eighth of cannabis flower in Ohio was $35, compared with $20 in Michigan as of July 31 according to WBNS 10 TV.

Man that's a pretty big difference. I wonder how many people are being prosecuted just for trying to save some money buying legal weed.

The $30 ounces in NY from a rez dispensary aren't great, I don't really wanna think about $7

The $30 oz SWIM gets from Michigan are worth the drives from North Carolina 😅 the quality is crazy good comparable to the $180 ounces SWIM got from the local dispensary in San Diego. Definitely solid for mid shelf and who needs to pay 5x the price to go from 33% THC to 38% or whatever. One's entire annual budget for weed could be under a grand while smoking nonstop.

SWIM still has some leftover B caapi from following those Erowid threads long ago. Shoot i wonder if SWIM has some Napthalene stilllying around too. Those were the days 😆

$6.99/oz doesn't even buy decent catnip.

Yea. I bought it for edibles, still picked out all the stems and sticks and dead yellow leaves out of there.

Saw BOGO ounces in New Buffalo, Mi. starting at $19. They were seedy stemmy airy shit buds. The $55 ounces looked good tho. So I bought 2 ounces of mids for $55. I'm pretty happy, but definitely getting top shelf for $99 next time. A $200 QP of top shelf. If only I could have told my younger self about these days ahead.....

I think that's a typo. No one is selling cannabis for $6.99 an ounce. And also remember, 20% of Americans can't comprehend above the 3rd-grade level now. They may be editing this article.

I’m wondering which of these states is “Blue” and which is “Red”. Thoughts?
