The major factor expected to affect the price of weed is the saturation of the industry. This reality is bound to affect the cannabis farmers more as competition arises. With more cannabis markets opening and competition increasing, the cost of weed on a retail level is bound to drop. The same is expected to happen on the wholesale level as well which means good news for most consumers. The increase in competition ensures that more cannabis is made available and this is usually backed up by a reduction in price.
