The California Spot Index also rose significantly, climbing 10% this week, driven by increases in both indoor and greenhouse grown flower prices.
Both Illinois and Pennsylvania saw the largest declines this week, although the monthly average price per pound in May is higher for each state than previous months.
In addition to identifying wholesale product by grow type – indoor, greenhouse, and outdoor – Cannabis Benchmarks has been differentiating wholesale transactions by whether the transfer occurred as a bulk transaction or a transaction consisting of prepackaged flower. The source data we receive from our Price Contributor Network includes these details and we are pleased to now begin including additional price assessments for wholesale flower sold in bulk or in prepackaged containers. This added granularity of pricing expands our efforts to bring transparency to the wholesale cannabis market. Over the coming months we will be regularly reporting on aggregate, bulk, and prepackaged wholesale flower pricing. Details available in the PREMIUM subscription.
