State of the Weed: Massachusetts • Q3 2025

State of the Weed — Massachusetts • Q3 2025

Market Snapshot

Wicked expensive still, guy. These friggin’ dispensaries chahgin’ like $65 an eighth plus tax like we’re buyin’ Bruins tickets or somethin’. The Cannabis Control Commission’s got their heads up their asses with regulations thicker than Big Papi’s playbook. Every townie from Reveah to Worcester’s growin’ in their basement though, so the street’s still beatin’ the shops. Maine’s right up 95 with those $150 ounces makin’ our stores look like highway robbery, which they frickin’ are.

2. More yahd grows as people realize Mass cops don’t give a shit about six plants anymore
3. Watch for Rhode Island and New Hampshire to finally legalize and steal more of our customers – Connecticut already took half the Western Mass market
