  5. Brad “PancakeNap420” Martin brought his sweeping data analysis—last used to examine BC Cannabis Stores—to pick through data from the SQDC. He found it charges an $8.18 average price per gram, and sells product with an average THC content of 17.4%. As usual, there’s a lot more information in here laid out in easy-to-digest infographics. He also released a smaller historical price-per-gram analysis of dried-flower sales by AlbertaCannabis.org, and a similar dried-cannabis report for the Ontario Cannabis Store.
