For the week ended Friday, July 7, 2017, the spot price index for a pound of cannabis slipped 0.8% to $1,622. According to the analysts at Cannabis Benchmarks, the simple average price for a gram fell from $4.10 to $4.03.
The futures price for the near month (August) remained unchanged at $1,510. For the month of September, the forward price also was unchanged at $1,500. The six-month forward price (January) was initiated at $1,520.
About two-thirds of the past week’s transactions occurred in a range of $1,038 to $2,618 per pound.
The Cannabis Benchmark analysts commented on the first weekend of recreational cannabis sales in Nevada:
A report from the Las Vegas Review-Journal told of relatively high retail prices of $80 per quarter ounce (7 grams), as well as up to $400 per ounce of high quality product. For comparison, Colorado retailers frequently sell ounces for $100, though high quality flower can garner at least twice that amount.
The Las Vegas Sun cited an estimate from the Nevada Dispensary Association that the first four days of adult-use sales in the state generated $3 million in revenue. Our analysis this week shows that wholesale rates in the state jumped by over 15% to settle at $2,635 per pound, with some lots moving for as much as $3,500 per pound.
Indoor flower prices ranged from $900 to $6,100 per pound, and the median price was $2,000. Greenhouse flower prices ranged from $1,000 to $2,400 per pound, with a median price of $1,300. Outdoor flower prices ranged from $950 to $1,650 per pound; the median price was $1,250.
