Not every ounce is the same product
An ounce of shake and an ounce of whole bud are different things at very different prices, so we price them separately rather than averaging them into one misleading number. Every grade below is what the dispensary itself calls it.
| Grade | Median ounce | Listings |
|---|---|---|
| Whole flower | $180 | 935 |
| Smalls & popcorn | $171.25 | 108 |
| Shake & trim | $110 | 44 |
What you actually get for the money in Maryland
Price alone doesn't tell you what's in the jar. We matched live shelf prices to manufacturers' certificates of analysis — real lab tests, not estimates — for 8,529 Maryland flower eighths across 83 dispensaries. These figures cover that lab-tested subset, so they differ slightly from the whole-market medians above.
Maryland is the better value. California shoppers pay about 1.0× the Maryland price for flower testing 2.4 points lower in THC.
| State | Median eighth (lab-tested only) | Median THC | Median total terpenes | Lab-tested eighths |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maryland | $38.50 | 28.1% | 1.82% | 8,529 |
| California | $40.20 | 25.7% | 1.8% | 557 |
| Ohio | $35.35 | 25.2% | 1.71% | 14,164 |
| Arizona | $30 | 25.1% | 1.7% | 4,298 |
| Nevada | $30 | 25.7% | 1.74% | 5,566 |
| Michigan | $20 | 27.1% | 1.85% | 22,301 |
Each state is measured on its own listings and compared like for like (one eighth, 3.5g). Lab coverage reflects the dispensary menus that publish full certificates, so it is a large sample rather than a census — states with fewer than 200 lab-matched eighths are not shown.
