How much is a gram or an ounce of weed?
Official state figures put a gram at $3.28 to $13.54.
The low end is Oregon (median, flower (“usable marijuana”), retail, data row dated 1 Oct 2026). The high end is Minnesota (median, adult-use flower, first 12 months, to Jan 2026). An ounce is 28.35 grams, but ounces usually cost less per gram than single grams, so don’t just multiply. Weed measurements explained.

Official 2026 figures: from $3.28/g (Oregon, median flower) to $13.54/g (Minnesota, first-year median)
Retail price per gram from state regulators in the 8 adult-use states that publish one. Each figure is measured differently, so check its label.
* Ohio: average of all plant sales since 2019, not today’s price. † Vermont: November 2025, the latest the board has published. Colorado and Michigan publish only wholesale tax rates per pound, so they are not on this scale.

Lowest to highest. The measure, product and period differ by state, so the bars show size, not a like-for-like ranking.

States publish price per gram, not per eighth or ounce. This table multiplies the official per-gram range ($3.28 in Oregon to $13.54 in Minnesota) by the weight. Stores often charge less per gram for larger amounts, so the bigger sizes usually cost less than this math suggests. Taxes are extra.
| Amount | Weight | At the official per-gram range |
|---|---|---|
| A gram | 1 g | $3.28–$13.54 |
| An eighth (⅛ oz) | 3.54 g | $11.61–$47.93 |
| A quarter (¼ oz) | 7.09 g | $23.26–$96.00 |
| A half ounce (14 g) | 14.17 g | $46.48–$191.86 |
| An ounce | 28.35 g | $92.99–$383.86 |
What about a kilo? No state publishes a retail price for a kilogram (1,000 g, about 2.2 lb). The only official bulk figures are the per-pound wholesale tax rates below, which are not what a customer pays.
Colorado and Michigan publish per-pound wholesale figures that set the tax a grower or store pays. They are not what a customer pays, so they stay off the per-gram map.
| State | Figure | Per pound | Period | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Colorado | Average Market Rate, bud sold at retail | $601 | 1 Oct – 31 Dec 2026 | Colorado Department of Revenue |
| Average Market Rate, trim sold at retail | $204 | |||
| Michigan | Average wholesale price guidance, flower | Pending verification | 1 Oct – 31 Dec 2026 | Michigan Department of Treasury |
