Oregon continues to have the cheapest legal marijuana prices in the United States, and it’s not particularly close.
According to data recently released by the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission, the average price per gram of dried marijuana flower sold via licensed marijuana stores is $3.75 per gram. This is considerably lower than the average price of every other legal marijuana state. For example, second on the list of cheapest legal marijuana prices is Massachusetts with an average of $5.06 per gram, a 35% difference.
Rounding out the top five, Washington, Michigan and Maine all have prices of around $7 per gram, during double Oregon’s average price.
According to the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission, licensed marijuana stores sold exactly $83,991,372 worth of product in August, which was the highest monthly total since the $84.8 million sold in May 2022. Monthly sales have remained above $75 million for 19 straight months.
Oregon became the third state to legalize recreational marijuana in 2014, following Colorado and Washington’s lead in 2012. The law allows individuals aged 21 and older to possess up to two ounces of marijuana in public and up to eight ounces at home. It also permits one ounce of marijuana extracts, 16 ounces of marijuana-infused solids, and 72 ounces of marijuana-infused liquids. Licensed retailers are authorized to sell marijuana products to adults aged 21 and over.
