Cannabis flower is similar to beer in the sense that you discuss, but there are also oils, hash, and edibles. Vaporizer oil is offered in a wide variety of artificial flavors, and strains vary considerably in natural flavor, from the putrid to the delicate. There isn't a "standard" varietal or strain, and the plants can be grown to encourage a wide variety of qualities. An indoor grow operation might prefer "sea of green" techniques, with plants trimmed and trained to grow many small colas, like a field of lollipops. The same plant placed outdoors might become a 3m tall tree. I think that if we extrapolate current conditions in the States which have legalized recreational sale, the cannabis market would closely resemble the beer market. However, legalization has also generally lowered prices, and it may be that we have not seen the end of that trend. Some have suggested that cannabis should naturally be only a few dollars per pound. However, I don't think that prices are ever likely to reach that point, and the question for the public I think is whether that disparity should result in high profits or high tax revenues.
