Parameters That Set the Price

• Product type: shatter $10 to $30 per gram. Live resin $30 to $70 per gram. Crumble $15 to $35 per gram.
• State tax: 10% to 37% on top of the menu price. Washington has 37%. Colorado has 15% plus local tax.
• Potency: 60% to 90% THC. Higher THC does not mean better taste.
• Weight: 0.5 g, 1 g, 2 g, and 3.5 g jars. Price per gram drops at 3.5 g.
• Deals: daily specials, first-time customer discounts, loyalty points, senior and veteran discounts.

Pitfalls to Avoid

1. Menu price without tax. A $20 gram in Illinois can total $30 after tax.
2. No batch date. Old wax turns dark and harsh.
3. Unlabeled solvent. Ask for residual solvent test results.
4. Black market. No testing, no potency accuracy, no recall.
5. Potency chasing. 90% THC wax can lack flavor.

How to Compare Prices Near You

Search "cannabis wax near me" plus your city. Open 3 menus. Write down the 1 gram price for budder. Add your state tax. Compare. Ask if the store has a loyalty program. Ask if the store posts lab results. Ask if the store sells deli style wax. Deli style lets you see the product. Deli style can cost less per gram than prepackaged jars.

Check possession limits. Many states cap concentrate purchases at 7 grams or less per transaction. A 3.5 g jar plus a 2 g jar can hit the cap.
