Ohio cannabis prices gradually declining since adult-use launch

The price of cannabis has gradually dropped since the launch of recreational sale in Ohio this summer, according to state data.

• How much? In August,the average cost of one-tenth of an ounce of plant product was $26.59. Now, it’s $21.72.

• Lower revenue than expected: There has been $178.5 million reported in total product sales as of last week in Ohio.

• Michigan thriving: Michigan has seen major growth over the past two years, with total sales reaching approximately $263.3 million in October 2024, according to cannabis industry tracker Headset.

• What they’re saying: “I think there’s just been a lot of things that slowed down the take-off of this. We’re still doing well, and we’re still moving forward. But it hasn’t been an explosion.” — Pure Ohio Wellness chief operating officer Tracey McMillin.
