The price you’ll pay for an ounce of weed depends on the laws in place where you’re buying and its quality. Generally, you can expect to get a little more bud for your buck in states and countries where cannabis is legal. However, if you can only get your hands on it through the streets, chances are you’ll pay a pretty penny. Some of these countries don’t have retail marketed marijuana, so their prices are approximate. Prices are listed in CAD.
CANADA
Medicinal marijuana has been available to Canadians for quite some time now, with recreational legalization in place for July 2018. According to a sample size of 10860 people, the average cost of an ounce of weed in Canada is $210. Vancouver, B.C, Canada’s weed capital sells an ounce at $94. Torontonians can expect to pay closer to $148 for a pot of the same quality.
UNITED STATES

The cheapest price in America for the best quality is $210 in Oregon according to the relatively low 17% tax on pot. The cost tends to get cheaper the further south you go.
