According to a new report using data from over 13,000 dispensaries across the United States, Oregon has the cheapest medical marijuana in the country.
At an average cost of $6.91 per gram, Oregon’s average medical marijuana prices are half the national average of $13.90. In second in terms of affordability is Maine, with an average gram price of $8.06, followed closely by Colorado at $8.19.

Currently there are 40 states that have legalized medical marijuana, as well as Washington D.C., though the specifics of each law vary drastically from state to state. Although the majority of these states allow licensed dispensaries to sell marijuana, not all allow dried marijuana to be sold and instead only allow the legal distribution of marijuana products such as tinctures and pills.
