Wholesale marijuana prices have never been lower in Colorado, according to the Department of Revenue. And those prices are reflected in a drop in retail costs: Dispensary prices have never been lower, either, the state says.
In a DOR report on Colorado dispensary prices released in December, the average price per gram of marijuana flower dropped over 20 percent from 2021 to 2022, while the average price per gram of hash dropped nearly 15 percent. (This year’s numbers aren’t out yet, but quarterly wholesale reports from the DOR show that prices are still dropping.)
Dispensaries across the state have had to adjust their prices as oversupply hits, but some places still charge significantly more than others, according to the DOR – most notably, mountain towns with large tourist industries. Dispensaries in Eagle, Park and Summit counties, which are home to most of Colorado’s ski towns, also have the highest marijuana prices. Meanwhile, Pueblo and Denver counties, the state’s two pot production hubs, come in near the bottom, thanks to higher levels of competition.
Here are five counties with the lowest and highest prices for marijuana flower and hash.
