Where is medical marijuana the most expensive in the U.S.? Where is it the cheapest?

With medical marijuana becoming more commonly used throughout the U.S., there’s been a lot of public outcry against the differing prices of weed from state to state. The price of medical marijuana varies wildly throughout the country, going from around $75 per ounce in Maine to 5x that in some surrounding states.

Why the difference? There are a lot of reasons, but what it basically comes down to is the fact that because cannabis is not federally regulated, the price of cannabis is dictated only by supply and demand. So, if you’re the only dispensary within 1,000 miles, it’s easy to hike up your prices without losing many customers. And since it’s federally illegal to bring cannabis across state lines, people in states where cannabis is expensive just have to deal with it.
