Oregon Retail Flower Sales Soar as the Price Per Gram Falls
- In 15 months, the average price per retail gram of flower plunged from $9.79 to $5.77, fueled by increased competition and greater operational efficiency.
- Meanwhile, the volume of flower sold grew dramatically, as more consumers transitioned to the legal market from illicit purchasing.
