Online cannabis price benchmarks for the US market: THC flower averages $4 to $8 per gram, THC vapes run $0.05 to $0.12 per mg THC, THC edibles run $0.05 to $0.12 per mg THC, and CBD oil runs $0.025 to $0.10 per mg CBD.

This page is the per-unit price reference for the US online hemp-derived cannabinoid market. Unlike list prices – which vary by package size and potency – per-unit benchmarks allow meaningful comparison across products, merchants, and time. All data is drawn from the CannabisDealsUS Cannabis Price Index. This index does not track dispensary cannabis or wholesale markets.
How to Use These Benchmarks
Per-unit pricing eliminates the distortion caused by different package sizes and potency levels. Use these benchmarks to:
- Evaluate whether a specific product’s price is competitive for its category
- Compare value across merchants selling the same product type
- Identify which categories are experiencing price movement week-on-week
- Cite market pricing data in research or journalism (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18351089)

Discount Benchmarks
Online hemp retailers discount frequently. The CannabisDealsUS Price Index tracks discount depth (percentage of listed-discount products) and average discount magnitude alongside price benchmarks. Key observations from recent index data:
- THC categories carry higher average discount rates than CBD in recent index periods
- Promotional discounting is cyclical – higher around retail events (420, Black Friday, Green Wednesday)
- Effective prices (post-listed-discount) are the correct benchmark for consumer decision-making

“Per-unit pricing is the only meaningful benchmark in the online hemp market. A headline price without a unit metric tells you nothing about value – a $15 pack of gummies at 25mg THC is significantly more expensive per mg than a $40 pack at 500mg THC.”
– Theo Valmis, Founder, CannabisDealsUS
How Per-Unit Benchmarks Are Calculated
Potency data is extracted from product titles and feed attributes. Where potency is stated in the product title (e.g., “500mg THC”), it is extracted deterministically. Where potency must be inferred, it is flagged with a lower confidence level and excluded from median calculations where confidence cannot be verified.
Package-size normalization: prices are divided by the extracted weight, volume, or total cannabinoid content to produce the per-unit figure. For multi-unit products (e.g., “20-pack gummies at 25mg THC each”), total THC = unit count x per-unit mg.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fair price for THC gummies online?
A competitive price for Delta-8 THC gummies is $0.03 to $0.08 per mg THC. For Delta-9 or THCA gummies, the competitive range is $0.05 to $0.14 per mg THC. Always calculate price per mg rather than comparing package prices, as potency and unit count vary significantly across products.
How do I calculate price per mg THC?
Divide the product price by the total mg of THC in the package. For a $35 pack of 30 gummies at 25mg THC each: total THC = 750mg, price per mg = $35 / 750 = $0.047/mg. This puts it in the competitive mid-range for Delta-8 gummies.
How often do these benchmarks update?
Weekly. The CannabisDealsUS Cannabis Price Index publishes new data each week. Category-level trends pages (linked from each table above) carry the latest weekly figures.
Do these benchmarks include delivery and tax?
No. Benchmarks reflect the product price as listed by the merchant in their product feed. Shipping, applicable taxes, and checkout-stage promotional codes are not captured in the benchmark data.
