Per item? So we're maybe just seeing that WA retail sells more grams and single joints? But Colorado has slightly lower price per flower gram. Price per mg THC would be another interesting metric.

They defined "super premium" as being whatever falls in the top 20% of prices, and then said they'd proved that super premium exists? Huh. And guess what, about 20% of eighths are in the top 20%. But grams are a bit more cheapskate-focused.

OMG. I WANT that guy's Shirt:
Geo. WA, shaded, hempin' it UP!
That's what I M Talkin' Bout.

I just wanna Grow My OWN
Just like The Father of our Country.
Hell, we even named the State after him.

Excellent analysis, our relatively inexpensive prices are the result of requiring farmers to sell only to retailers, not consumers, and the competition this model creates. Very interesting.

Real time price data like this would be invaluable for all of the consumer apps out there for finding cannabis products, hopefully Headset is monetizing that vertical as well since it has real value.

Really SAD we cannot have botique farms that happen to cater to our needs.

When Anhowzyurbusch takes over the weed market, planet-wide, I'm gonna grow my own, anyways. I'll share it with my Jailers. Or get a medical card. If they haven't yet outlawed them, by then.

Surely wouldn't want Citizens, harming themselves like that.
And taking all that money away from Big Weed/Booze.
And WA!

Although, I dunno -- a $50 home grower's license might well-cover that....

$40 an ounce is like late 1977 prices. Inflation adjusted, that's $166.15. $40 in 2019 dollars is $9.63 in 1977 dollars, . So that's damn cheap.

I'd like to offer another hypothesis as to why cannabis is so much cheaper in WA; the testing standards are lower in WA than in all other states which means that a higher percentage of products make it to the market. For instance, WA is the ONLY state that does not require pesticide testing on cannabis. All data suggests that 30-40% of the products in the WA regulated market have illegal amounts of pesticides on them. Perhaps if we had higher testing standards...like CA which tests all products for over 66 pesticides or Nevada whose wholesale prices go UP every year because they don't have enough product meeting their testing standards...more unsafe product wouldn't make it to the market and average prices would increase.

Ah, but is the pot better than other states'? Also, I think one of the main reasons is that (at least for CA) the smaller city and town governments keep trying to sabotage the industry, which obviously increases costs.
