 | I recently published an analysis based on a weekly price index I launched in December 2025. It tracks more than 21,000 cannabis products across licensed U.S. online retailers and measures the actual prices consumers pay after discounts, not just listed prices. A few things that stood out: • The index rose only 1.9% from Dec 2025 to late Jan 2026, showing overall retail pricing is relatively stable. • Discounts are being used very selectively rather than broad price cuts. • CBD products show structural margin pressure, with discounts often reaching 15–30%. • Hardware products like vaporizers and accessories have much lower discounting, acting as margin stabilizers. • Overall weekly index movement is typically within ±2%, suggesting the market is stabilizing. It suggests cannabis retail is shifting toward more controlled, category-specific pricing strategies rather than broad price competition.
