LeafLink released its annual Wholesale Cannabis Pricing Guide, which explores pricing data from ten cannabis markets in the United States across five product categories.

“Understanding pricing is pivotal for businesses to grow efficiently in the cannabis industry, which is why the Wholesale Pricing Guide has become one of the greatest resources we share,” Ryan G. Smith co-founder & CEO of LeafLink told Benzinga. “Leveraging the depth of our dataset, cannabis operators are able to make smarter decisions about pricing and purchasing, empowering members of the LeafLink platform and beyond to expand into new markets.”

LeafLink, the cannabis industry wholesale marketplace, analyzed over 296,900 SKUs across the top ten national markets in this guide. The study examined 2021’s average wholesale pricing for five categories: flower, cartridges, concentrates, edibles and ingestibles and pre-rolls. Within each category, the guide highlights pricing on both the national and market level, as well as year-over-year changes. Over $3.2 billion of wholesale orders placed through LeafLink in 2021 were used to determine the impact of pricing on sales.

“We're excited to release this year's pricing guide to help cannabis brands optimize their pricing for 2022,” Alex Feldman, general manager of insights and marketing services at LeafLink said. “LeafLink’s platform provides the largest national wholesale cannabis dataset, which allows us to surface the true impact of pricing on sales.”

Wholesale prices have gone up 30% over the last 2 years due to all the forest fires which have ruined a lot of grows in both north an south cali from the red powder they use to put out the fires traveling for many miles off target and into sticky buds.

The outdoor market  costumers are buying all the green house and now all the green house and light dep customers are buying all the indoor.

That is driving the wholesale prices to levels that are getting ridiculous, let alone getting good, safe, and well cured bud is like trying to find

an honest lawyer. 

Some MOMS are charging $400-$480 oz and are still beating dispensary prices in many states.


PRC is struggling to keep prices down but that is what we do.
