The CannabisDealsUS Cannabis Price Index week of February 24, 2026 presents a clean signal in consumables and a structural break in hardware. CBD reversed its prior-week retreat, with four of five subcategories advancing — CBD For Pets rising to 129.98 and CBD Oil to 107.29. THC remained stable: Vape held above 103 and Edibles edged up to 103.24. These consumable movements reflect underlying retail pricing behavior.
Hardware and headshop categories underwent a scheduled universe refresh this week. Several subcategories experienced material changes in product coverage relative to the prior period. As a result, index readings in Vaporizers, Bongs & Water Pipes, Trays & Storage, Cleaning & Maintenance, and Headshop General reflect basket reconstitution effects rather than pure price movement. These categories are reported for continuity but excluded from directional interpretation in this release.
The core market signal remains in consumables: CBD is recovering, THC is stable, and the divergence observed earlier in February has narrowed.
Editorial Brief
CBD prices rise broadly as THC holds steady. Hardware and headshop categories reflect a significant catalogue update this week and are excluded from directional analysis.
Category to Watch: CBD For Pets
CBD For Pets recorded the largest single-category index move this week, rising from 97.16 to 129.98 — a 33.78% gain. SKU count increased from 98 to 113 and average effective price rose from £25.34 to £33.90. The pattern — rising index, rising average price, growing SKU count — indicates a rotation toward higher-priced products entering the tracked set, consistent with premium SKU expansion rather than price inflation on existing listings. A reading above 125 warrants watching next week for confirmation.

CBD segment average effective price: £51.65 across ~871 products
CBD Oil at 107.29 on 142 products — the largest and most liquid CBD subcategory — is the most structurally significant move in the segment this week. CBD Creams extended recent strength to 114.67. CBD Edibles returned to baseline at 100.06 after two consecutive weeks below it.
THC Categories
THC consumables held steady. Vape extended its above-baseline position for a fourth consecutive week. Edibles ticked up. THC Oil moved higher on a thin population of 48 products — as with prior weeks, movements in this subcategory carry limited interpretive weight.
| THC Subcategory | Avg Price | Index | WoW Change | Products |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| THC Edibles | £29.10 | 103.24 | +2.79% | 900 |
| THC Oil | £49.57 | 96.99 | +10.40% | 48 |
| THC Vape | £28.73 | 103.61 | +0.61% | 1,428 |
THC segment average effective price: £29.13 across ~2,376 products
THC Vape at 103.61 on 1,428 products remains the most liquid and statistically stable category in the index. Four consecutive weeks above baseline represents the longest sustained above-100 run for this subcategory in the tracked period.
Hardware & Accessories
Hardware and headshop categories are reported below for completeness. A significant catalogue update occurred this week affecting SKU counts across multiple subcategories. Index movements in these categories reflect changes in catalogue composition and should not be read as retail pricing signals.
| Category | SKUs | Avg Price | Index | WoW |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vaporizers | 3,418 | £56.88 | 100.41 | −14.94% |
| Bongs & Water Pipes | 11,679 | £64.49 | 89.46 | −9.97% |
| Grinders | 1,032 | £35.66 | 121.85 | −0.30% |
| Rolling Papers | 913 | £29.31 | 99.97 | +2.24% |
| Grow | 1,419 | £49.42 | 99.41 | −0.69% |
| Mushrooms | 136 | £39.16 | 92.38 | −1.04% |
Grinders and Rolling Papers are unaffected by the catalogue update and represent clean signals. Grinders held at 121.85 for a second consecutive week. Rolling Papers returned to parity at 99.97.
What to Watch Next Week
- CBD For Pets confirmation: The 129.98 reading is the highest in the tracked period for this subcategory. Next week will determine whether this reflects genuine SKU-mix expansion or a one-week artefact.
- CBD Oil trajectory: At 107.29 on 142 products, CBD Oil is now the most reliable signal of broader CBD segment health. A second consecutive gain would confirm recovery.
- Hardware stabilisation: Following this week’s catalogue update, hardware categories should return to cleaner index readings. Vaporizers in particular will be worth watching as the expanded SKU set settles.
- THC Vape fifth week above baseline: A fifth consecutive above-100 reading would mark a meaningful structural shift for the category.
