Almost everything has skyrocketed in price in the last few years, even video games which oddly for decades stayed at a relatively similar price have now jumped up to £70 for a new release. I was going to quote some horrifying increases like gas, and food stuff but you’re not here for the stress. So let’s keep not thinking about all that. Thankfully, one thing that seems to have resisted that trend is weed and it’s a bit of a miracle,. Someone must have made a really good wish a few years back.
Really, you shouldn’t be paying more than £10/gram for a bit of decent weed. In this article we’re going to take a look at the whole range of options available and what you might end up paying if you’re looking for something in particular. Our data comes from reported prices across the country as well as average prices online.
How Much Is Weed in The UK?
We’ve tried to give a balanced picture of the prices that have been reported across the UK. You are going to find regional differences, you will find good or deals, and yeah there’s always people who ‘know a proper sound lad who can get it 50 quid an ounce’. Chances are though this is what you will find.
Price of weed in the UK – Low Grade and Trim
Maybe you’re looking for something a bit weaker. Something that you can enjoy but not end up glued to the couch. Or maybe you’re making edibles, well then you’re probably looking for some trim, or lower grade weed. Even some of the more expensive prices for this are much cheaper than regular weed so if this is what makes you happy then you’re in luck!
| Weight | Average Price |
|---|---|
| 14g or 1/2th oz | £50-70 |
| 28g 1 oz | £90-£120 |
Price of Mids and Regular Weed in the UK
Chances are this is what you’re going to be buying for the most part, really decent, pretty potent, dank buds. If you’re new to weed then rest assured, this is what you’re after.
| Weight | Average Price |
|---|---|
| 1g | £8-£15 |
| 3.5g or 1/8th oz | £25-£40 |
| 7g or 1/4th oz | £50-£70 |
| 14g or 1/2th oz | £90-£140 |
| 28g 1 oz | £160-£250 |
Price of Top Shelf Weed In the UK
Before ‘Cali’ came around and introduced a whole new level of premium priced weed there was just ‘top shelf’. This is the stuff that has you sat on the couch 5 minutes after vaping it like ‘WOW I’M SO BAKED RIGHT NOW’.
| Weight | Average Price |
|---|---|
| 1g | £14-£18 |
| 3.5g or 1/8th oz | £40-£60 |
| 7g or 1/4th oz | £80-£115 |
| 14g or 1/2th oz | £140 – £215 |
| 28g 1 oz | £290-£350 |
Price of Cali Weed In the UK
This is touted as being ‘the best of the best’ at the moment and we’re glad to see some real high end crazy weed coming about as the market matures, it’s kind of like searching out the finest wines and for real connoisseurs it’s great to have such wonderful weed to choose from. Traditionally it’s supposed to come from California and arrive sealed in a tin or mylar packaging, the branding being another way to demonstrate it’s different from the normal stuff.
But you’ve got to be careful and here’s why. 1) A large proportion of what is sold as Cali is nothing more than normal weed being packaged up in bags you can by in the thousands on line for pretty cheap, and 2) UK cannabis growers have risen to the challenge and I’m starting to hear more and more noise about some UK strains being superior to those from Cali. So buy local folks!
| Weight | Average Price |
|---|---|
| 1g | £25-£32 |
| 3.5g or 1/8th oz | £70-£90 |
| 7g or 1/4th oz | £134-£200 |
| 14g or 1/2th oz | £260-380 |
| 28g 1 oz | £450-£750 |
Price of Hash In the UK
Hash is one of those things that everybody knows about but always seems difficult to get in the real world, online of course there’s no issue with that
| Weight | Average Price |
|---|---|
| 1g | £6-12 |
| 3.5g or 1/8th oz | £20-£40 |
| 7g or 1/4th oz | £40-£70 |
| 14g or 1/2th oz | £70-£110 |
| 28g 1 oz | £90-£150 |
Price of Concentrates and Extracts in the UK
This is a category that could go on forever depending on what you’re looking for. Between different products like resin, rosin, shatter, wax, crumble, and others. Then to split them by quantity, and quality. Well, you’d need a spreadsheet.
The most important thing to do when buying concentrates is to make sure you’re happy with the method of extraction and how safe the product seems to be.
| Weight – 1gram | Average Price |
|---|---|
| 1g Shatter / Wax / Dabbing concentrates | £25-£40 |
| 1g Shatter / Wax / Dabbing concentrates – Good Quality | £35-50 |
| 1g Live Resin and high quality – High Quality | £40-£80 |
Price of Weed Carts in the UK
THC cartridges, ‘carts’ or extract cartridges have taken off in popularity over the past few years, the convenience, the flavour, and so discrete it really is a great new way to enjoy cannabis. Similarly to concentrates it’s easy to end up with cartridges that are either poor quality and bad for your health or using synthetic cannabis which is to be avoided in any situation.
| Quantity | Average Price |
|---|---|
| 0.5ml cart | £25-£45 |
| 1ml cart | £45-£80 |
Price of Edibles in the UK
Now this is an extremely difficult one because you could be talking about anything from THC cola bottles, to RSO syringes, to a chocolate cake, or a tincture that you can mix into other foods. We’ve had a look at some of the more popular items online to at least give you a picture of what the price of edibles is in the UK
If you use vape flower/bud then make sure to save that vaped weed (ABV) so you can cook with it later. Best not eat it raw though (bad stomach from too much plant material), we’d recommend a simple tincture that will blow your head off. Here’s a great recipe that is simple and worked for us!
| Quantity | Average Price |
|---|---|
| 500mg tub of sweets | £15-£25 |
| 1000mg chocolate spread tub | £25-£30 |
| RSO 1ml Syringe | £15-20 |
Is The Price of Weed Going to Go Up?
Unfortunately we are likely to see the price of weed in the UK go up throughout 2023, not by much but for many it will be noticeable. The bottom line is that everything goes up in price over time, unless growers and sellers decide to be generous then they’re not going to want to absorb the cost of a doubling electric bill on their own. Often times the supply of foreign cannabis being imported has increased to offer a lower priced product to fill the gap but due to turbulent conditions all across the world it’s likely that costs are going to go up everywhere. The only way this price rise get’s avoid, at least in my opinion, is to massively increase supply, perhaps by legalising it maybe…
I hope this article has be informative and helped you figure out your budget this year. Fingers crossed I don’t have to update it much next year, and that if I do it’s to say the prices have gone down, here’s hoping!
A cost effective way to mix up how you enjoy cannabis is to throw CBD into the mix. I find it helps really round out the high and bring it back down to that super comfy, relaxed, and calm vibe which is what I want. We’ve got all sorts of CBD so find something that works for you
