New
Jersey's newly minted governor-elect, Phil Murphy, has promised to
legalize marijuana in short order — a move that could, among many other
things, cut the cost of the bud drastically.
While there's no guarantee, and there's a lot of political haggling to go, experts have pointed out that states that have legalized recreational use have some of the lowest prices in the country.
But how do you measure prices of weed when, in most states, it's sold on the illegal black market? One site, Price of Weed, attempted to get around that problem by asking users to submit what they've paid in their area.
Over 170,000 U.S. residents have submitted the amount they paid for an ounce of high-quality marijuana. Here's how the prices stack up in all 50 states.
A note about the data: Averages were collected from PriceofWeed.com in November 2017. The site automatically excludes outliers from the data for each state. Prices may vary. Limitations apply. Limit one per customer. Coupons not valid at all stores.
