Why Is Some Weed Cheaper Than Others?

Some weed is cheaper because it costs less to grow, sort, package, or sell. Lower priced flower may have smaller buds, less polished trim, a larger package size, older inventory or promotional pricing.

Price does not automatically tell you whether cannabis is stronger or better quality. A more expensive product may cost more because of its appearance, small-batch production, careful trimming, limited availability, or retailer positioning. A lower-priced product may still have comparable listed THC information, freshness, and cultivar characteristics.

To compare value, look at the specific product rather than its price alone:

• Price per gram or per ounce
• THC and CBD information
• Bud format, such as regular flower or smalls
• Package or harvest date
• Cultivar and producer
• Product description and available reviews

For example, value options such as Skywalker OG AA – Budget OZ Special may cost less because they are sold as a budget ounce format, while TWD Shop’s Budget Buds collection lets shoppers compare lower priced flower options directly.
