Start with the number on the label

Price means little without THC content. A cookie with 10 mg of THC and a cookie with 100 mg are not the same product. Divide the package price by total milligrams of THC. That number lets you compare a $6 single against a $30 ten-pack.

Cannabis Cookies for Sale: What to Check Before You Buy

Example: a $30 package with 10 cookies at 10 mg each holds 100 mg of THC. That is $0.30 per mg. A $6 single at 10 mg is $0.60 per mg. The ten-pack costs half as much per milligram.

What moves the price

Typical ranges in US legal markets

Single 10 mg cookie: $4 to $9. Ten-pack at 100 mg total: $18 to $40. Branded or rosin-based ten-packs: $30 to $55. Those figures sit before tax. Medical menus in some states run lower than recreational menus at the same shop.

Cannabis Cookies vs Brownies: Which Should You Choose?

Check before you pay

  1. Lab test panel with THC mg per serving and per package.
  2. Serving count and a cut line on the cookie.
  3. Batch date and expiration date.
  4. State license number on the package.
  5. Child-resistant packaging, required in legal states.

Pitfalls

Dose first

Start at 5 mg or less with no tolerance. Wait two hours before a second dose. Oral THC peaks later than inhaled THC. Cost per milligram is the last step in the decision, not the first.
