Here’s a website that tries to extrapolate standard prices from reader buying experiences. In Texas, high-grade marijuana costs $437.90/oz vs. $478.41 in New York. That’s the good news. The bad news that the same stuff in California costs $349.09.
But more good news. Our cheaper stuff is much cheaper. Medium grade in Texas is $172.31 vs. New York’s $366.84 and California’s $290.05. I guess that means our murderous drug cartels have more efficient delivery systems than their murderous drug cartels. (Sorry, Kenny, no prices for London.)

Many of us old timers remember the $10 a ounce bag o weed a/k/a lid. I assume that would be considered medium grade now.
As soon as it becomes legal, I look forward to D’s Best Pot Shop becoming a yearly award.
A simple investment in a Vaporizer (suggested by the President of NORML) will make that high grade oz last a long time. Or so I have been told by some heathens I know
Wow, I might have expected Zac to be surfing for deals on weed (I keed, I keed) but not Wick!
This is one of the more insightful posts I’ve seen in a while. I look forward to someday seeing taste tests or even D Supperclub pairing with our local or exotic herb. Very cool.
Jack – When pot was $10/lid, cigarettes were $0.33 per pack. Not sure what cigs are now but if they are $5.69 per pack they have risen at the same rate. If not that much, the cartel “tax” rate is higher than the government tax rate.
Those prices are slightly bogus.
The street price for high grade, bought the seeds in Holland, knock your ass out, hydroponically grown cannabis in Dallas is $20 gram. If you get the “friends” price I’d put that at $12-$15 an ounce.
A couple of years ago, this same high grade stuff was going for $100 a quarter ounce. An ounce is 7.85 grams. You do the math. I think because the price in the California medical dispensaries is closer to $20 a gram, then the rest of the nation followed.
Mexican dirt weed is usually $20 a quarter ounce. $60 an ounce is the “friends” price.
I am really curious what will happen to weed prices across the nation if California legalizes.
I remember smoking a joint with William F. Buckely in my twenties, in the guest house at the rear of a Highland Park property, hours before his speech at the University of Dallas in Irving. I can’t go into the particulars here, of course, but I can confirm that his blue eyes *flashed* in that way of his!
Later, during the speech, he did that classic Buckley gesture where he reached into his coat pocket for no reason, only this time the lining of the pocket came out and hung there. He didn’t realize it, and the lining stayed draped outside the pocket, dangling, for the rest of the speech, which riveted the audience, at least those of us close up.
$12-$15 a gram. Not ounce.
Sorry, I was stoned and I missed it.
As a member of a Medical Pot Club in California, I can attest to the prices. It depends on the grade. You can get a strain called “Train Wreck” for $30 gram or if you are indigent, you may receive “shake” (the tail end of everything) for free or reduced price. The prices are all over the scale and if you come at the correct time, you may meet the grower. Free samples and on site smoking are perks. Come on and get with the program, Texas. As soon as California legalizes personal use, the whole country should follow suit (except Utah and Oklahoma).
Cupcake shops all over will switch to Brownies….
I’m hungry.
prices sound good to me, i often see oz. of some really dank stuff go for $400 in the OK.
to the guy who was talking bout $20 a G, your getting screwed if your paying that same price all the way up to a OZ.
It’s obvious that kindbud is about the same everywhere, but cheaper in CA (and OR), where it is grown by multiples of acres in the wild, and that Mexiweed is much cheaper the closer one is to the border.
Also, what is the methodology re: quantity? They seem to be judging by the price of a q.o. x 4.
No, no, no, no: I don’t smoke anymore. But I didn’t just fall off a tin roof. I could get an oz. of seriously dank kind for $300-$350 if I wanted it, but I can live without the social anxiety, indolence and paralyzing self-analysis it would bring my way.
P.S. Our murderous drug cartel’s “more efficient delivery system” = I-35

You are missing the point of pot if you want to avoid the paralyzing self-analysis that pot brings your way. It is so much easier than finding an enlightened therapist.
KenJangals…..Dank Rules!
At those prices what’s preventing folks from home gardening? Sure there’s risk of arrest for that, but no more so than buying or possessing. Grow local, starve the cartels, share.
And the most I ever paid was $25 for 5 grams in Hono in the late 70’s. It was worth every penny. Life was so much simpler when your pot supplier was a classmate’s older brother.
50 bucks an O!
Namewithheld —> Faulty math. There are 28 grams in an ounce.
