Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:55:50 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Rent is likely to grow again in the Denver metro, and marijuana prices may, too. Colorado marijuana has never been cheaper The COVID pandemic sparked a big change in marijuana prices. Sales reached their highest-ever levels between the summers of 2020 and 2021, and the price retailers pay for bulk cannabis has crashed ever since. The average market price for a pound of Colorado marijuana bud has been falling since early 2021, according to Colorado Department of Revenue figures. In January 2021, bud was at its highest price since 2016 at $1,731 per pound. By April 2023, it had shrunk to less than half that price at $649 per pound, the lowest price ever recorded since Colorado began its first legal marijuana sales.This month, though, retail prices have ticked upwards. The price for a pound of bud went from $649 to $703 in June. This is the first time retail has risen since October 2021. This is the longest stretch of time since legalization that marijuana prices ha...
