That is ~$5700 per pound. To put that into perspective, Beluga caviar, the most expensive caviar produced from the critically endangered Beluga sturgeon, is apparently only ~$4000 per pound and saffron, what is traditionally known as one of the most expensive bulk-produced spices, is ~$5000 per pound at retail. Tobacco, a reasonably close agricultural analog in the sense that you harvest the leaf for recreational drug use is ~$4000 a ton which, from perusing wholesale prices of agricultural products, is fairly close to the upper end of price per ton of a easily harvested agricultural product.
- jjulius 5y agoThe pound should be cheaper because of bulk pricing. The smaller the amount, the more you're paying. Edit: Even then, the wholesale price will be cheaper than the retail price. Edit 2: "The U.S. Cannabis Spot Index increased 1.9% to $1,265 per pound. The simple average (non-volume weighted) price increased $11 to $1,534 per pound, with 68% of transactions (one standard deviation) in the $679 to $2,390 per pound range."[1] [1]https://www.cannabisbenchmarks.com/report-category/united-states/ https://www.cannabisbenchmarks.com/report-category/united-st...

- maxerickson 5y agoLeaves vs flowers makes at least some difference.
- slaw 5y agoHow many ounces/grams of cannabis is equivalent to a 750ml bottle of wine?
- longtimelistnr 5y agoIt’s a hard equivalency to make because weed gets cheaper in larger quantities. Wine does too but not on the consumer side (unless for some reason you buy cases of the same bottle all at once)
- slaw 5y agoI know how much wine costs. I got bottle of wine in a restaurant for $35, at grocery for $4, in Spain at grocery for 1 Euro and free with 10 Euro meal in Barcelona. I know what one bottle of wine makes to my body. I don't smoke weed and I don't know if 1/8th of cannabis is something I could use in one evening, so it would be equivalent of bottle of wine.
