Marijuana prices around the world

We all ask ourselves about marijuana prices in different countries, right? You might be planning a trip somewhere, and in an attempt to avoid issues when traveling through security, you decide to buy locally because you might be staying there for a while. To do that, you’ll need to have some background on marijuana prices around the world.

Keep in mind that consumption and sales laws regarding cannabis can vary a lot from country to country, so you’ll need to know if it’s legal or at least accepted to consume marijuana in the country you’re planning to visit.

Prices are quite affected by such laws, just like they’re affected by where the country is and what its culture is like; if marijuana is grown there then the price probably won’t be too high, although if you’re visiting somewhere where it has to be imported from somewhere else, it’ll be more expensive, and the farther away the country they’re importing from, the more expensive the product. Of course, these aren’t the only factors that can influence prices; the type of strain of product can also mean extremely high prices.

The UN Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has released a report detailing the average price of marijuana on the black market of each country. Although we’re not part of the black market, which is illegal in many parts of the world, we believe that it’s a good starting point to find the actual price of the product; the more countries to have a legal market, the cheaper the price which means that there will be less black market marijuana activity and the legal product will probably be higher quality.
