How Much Does an Eighth of Weed Cost?

Ah, the age-old question – How much does an eighth of weed cost? Well, buckle up, folks, because it’s time to take a wild ride through the murky waters of weed pricing! From the quality of the bud to the location you buy it in, there’s a lot to consider when it comes to determining the cost of that precious little 3.5-gram bag. Let’s explore the factors that impact the price of an eighth of weed and how much you can expect to pay for it.

Location, location, location

One of the most significant factors that affect the price of an eighth of weed is location. In states where cannabis is legal for both medicinal and recreational use, prices tend to be lower compared to states where only medicinal use is legal. For example, in California, the average eighth price is around $50, while in states like New York, the average price is around $60 to $70. The cost of living, taxes, and local regulations also play a role in determining the price of an eighth of weed in a particular location.

Quality over quantity (sometimes)

The quality of the weed is another factor that affects its price. High-quality strains tend to cost more than low-quality strains, as they are more potent and contain higher levels of THC, which is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis. Additionally, high-quality strains are often grown with better cultivation methods and are free of pesticides and other harmful chemicals, making them a safer and more enjoyable product to consume. On the other hand, lower-quality strains may contain seeds and stems and may be grown using harmful chemicals, which can impact the overall quality and potency of the product. 

Our favorite low-cost eighth on the market right now is the Maui Wowie by Cali Flwr Farm. It goes for $20 and leaves you feeling uplifted and euphoric within the first hit – which, hey, not bad!

The takeaway

On average, the price of an eighth of weed ranges from $35 to $70, but prices can be higher or lower depending on the factors mentioned above. When looking for an eighth that works for you, remember to consider the quality of the product, the weed price, as well as the reputation and licensing of the dispensary, to ensure that you are getting a safe and enjoyable high.
