Most cannabis market reporting tracks sales, licenses, or company performance. I couldn\u2019t find a public dataset that consistently tracks what consumers actually pay week to week, so I started aggregating prices from public online retail listings and publishing a fixed-baseline index. High-level approach: Weekly index with a fixed baseline Category-level aggregation (CBD, THC, etc.) No merchant or product promotion Transparent, public methodology Intended as a complementary signal to macro market reports Methodology and latest index are public here: <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisdealsus.com\/cannabis-price-index\/\">https:\/\/cannabisdealsus.com\/cannabis-price-index\/<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisdealsus.com\/cannabis-price-index\/methodology\/\">https:\/\/cannabisdealsus.com\/cannabis-price-index\/methodology\/<\/a> I\u2019m mainly posting to get methodological feedback: Does this approach seem sound for tracking consumer price movement? Any obvious biases or gaps you\u2019d expect from this type of data source? Anything you\u2019d want clarified if you were citing something like this? Not selling anything and not looking for promotion \u2014 genuinely interested in critique.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/theov666\"> \/u\/theov666 <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/datasets\/comments\/1ql2cd0\/independent_weekly_cannabis_price_index_consumer\/\">[link]<\/a><\/span>   <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/datasets\/comments\/1ql2cd0\/independent_weekly_cannabis_price_index_consumer\/\">[comments]<\/a><\/span><\/p><div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-right'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-38290 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='38290' data-nonce='65e0e39b87' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-38290 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div> <div class='status-38290 status align-right'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve been building an independent weekly cannabis price index focused on consumer retail prices, not revenue or&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[85],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38290","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-datatards","wpcat-85-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38290"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38290\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
