The legal/non-legal history of marijuana makes it difficult to understand just how much does medical weed cost now that it is more available to those who need it.
However, there are many factors to take into consideration when trying to figure out the cost of medical cannabis.
Here’s a quick guide to buying medical marijuana in Maryland, and beyond.
Pricing Factors for Medical Marijuana
Many things can affect your weed cost including the following:
- Where you live
- Where you purchase the weed
- How many competing dispensaries are in your area
- The quality of the weed
- Taxes on marijuana.
Price Per Gram
The gram is the unit commonly used to measure marijuana quantity.
To put a picture in your mind, a gram of marijuana looks like an amount about the size of a bottle cap.
The average prices on a gram of weed vary, but you can generally expect it to land between $9 and $17 per gram.
How Many Joints is in One Gram?
While this is not an exact science, you can expect your average gram to yield approximately one and a half joints.
Medical Weed Cost Per Eighth
3.5 grams of weed is also known as an “eighth.”
An eighth of weed will generally yield approximately five joints.
Depending on where you live, an eighth of weed will cost you between $25 and $35.
Medical Marijuana Cost Per Quarter
One ounce of weed is also known as a “quarter.”
For a visual, this is about seven bottle caps worth of marijuana.
A quarter will yield about 10 joints worth of weed and can cost anywhere between $50-$80.
Medical Cannabis Cost Per Half Ounce
Half an ounce of weed (14 grams) should yield around twenty joints and would likely cost anywhere between $100-$150 depending on where you live.
Cannabis Price Per Ounce
28 grams of weed is in a one ounce measurement.
This amount of marijuana will roll around forty joints and cost approximately $250-$300.
