Illegal cannabis getting even cheaper, as legal gets costlier, StatsCan says | CBC News
Based on 572 voluntary responses the data agency deemed credible in the second quarter, StatsCan said the illegal version of the price fell from $6.23 per gram on average, at the start of the year, to $5.93 a gram in the three months up to the end of June.
Legal cannabis, meanwhile, went from $10.21 per gram to $10.65. That means the gap between the two is now as wide as $4.72 a gram.
And the gap is getting bigger, not smaller. Three months ago, StatsCan’s report of the first full quarter of price information showed the gap between legal cannabis and the illegal variety was $3.62 a gram.
