The Platform

CannabisDealsUS is a real-time cannabis price comparison platform that tracks effective checkout pricing — the actual amount consumers pay at point of purchase — across thousands of licensed online retailers throughout the United States.

Unlike wholesale price reports or survey-based estimates, the CannabisDealsUS dataset captures verified retail transactional pricing, offering a ground-truth view of the cannabis consumer market as it actually operates.

Weekly data collection enables trend analysis across product categories, discount cycle tracking, and Price Index construction that reflects structural market dynamics rather than snapshot estimates.

What is the CannabisDealsUS Cannabis Price Index?

The CannabisDealsUS Cannabis Price Index is a weekly retail pricing dataset tracking effective checkout prices across 20,000+ cannabis SKUs from 57+ licensed U.S. online retailers. It captures actual consumer pricing — not list prices or wholesale estimates — enabling real-time analysis of cannabis retail pricing trends, discount penetration, and price compression. The dataset is developed by Theo Valmis and archived permanently via Zenodo DOI for academic and media citation.

How often is the index updated?

The index is updated weekly — 52 times per year. Each release is timestamped with the week ending date and published to Zenodo for permanent archival and formal citation. This frequency enables journalists and researchers to track short-cycle pricing shifts that monthly or quarterly reports miss entirely.

Use the following format: CannabisDealsUS Cannabis Price Index, developed by Theo Valmis, CannabisDealsUS.com, Week Ending [Date]. A Zenodo DOI is available for formal academic citation. Contact press@cannabisdealsus.com for specific dataset versions.

What makes this data different from other cannabis price reports?

The CannabisDealsUS Index captures effective checkout pricing — the actual dollar amount a consumer pays including applied discounts — across verified licensed retailers. Most competing sources report manufacturer list prices, wholesale benchmarks, or survey-based estimates. Effective retail prices reflect market reality in a way that list prices structurally cannot.

Yes. Theo is available for on-record and background interviews on cannabis retail pricing trends, market structure, discount mechanics, and Price Index methodology.
