Swiss Cannabis Price Index — 12 months

Median reference prices CHF/g for Outdoor, Greenhouse, Indoor, hash and CBD oil (CHF/10 ml).

Key facts

  • Categories: 5
  • Period: Rolling 12 months
  • Update cadence: Monthly

Key takeaways

  • The index covers five product categories over a rolling twelve months and updates monthly.
  • Prices are collected in CHF per gram and averaged across retail, online shops and pilots.
  • Category spreads matter more than the level: quality explains more than channel.

Interpretation

A transparent price index is the most effective consumer-protection tool in a semi-regulated market because it removes the biggest information asymmetry: buyers otherwise cannot tell whether CHF 12/g is fair. The series shows Swiss prices are driven less by scarcity than by channel costs (rent, compliance, lab testing) — exactly the costs regulation can lower or raise.

Limitations

  • In-house collection: sample and weighting are editorial and not officially validated.
  • Discounts, bulk tiers and member pricing are not visible in every channel.
  • Black-market prices rely on surveys and are inherently uncertain.
