As of Monday, May 4, 2026, I’ve pulled the current live inventory across the state’s major retail networks. Connecticut’s prices have hit a new floor this month, but the “premium gap” remains wide.
Below are the exact numbers on the shelf today.
1. The Ounce (28g) Report
Prices are pre-tax. CT tax adds roughly 15-20% at checkout.
| Category | Price (Pre-Tax) | Dispensary | Product Details |
| Cheapest Ounce | $140.00 | Higher Collective | Carbon Fiber (Whole Flower). This is the current state floor for whole-bud ounces. |
| Value Ounce | $160.00 | Curaleaf | Citrus Glow or Find brand (Whole Flower). |
| Premium Ounce | $440.00+ | The Botanist / Fine Fettle | Extrapolated from $55-$60 premium eighths. |
- The “Today” Winner: Higher Collective is currently leading the bulk market with a $140 whole-flower ounce.
- The “Premium” Peak: Most top-tier craft flower (like Garcia Hand Picked or Rythm premium lines) is not sold in 28g bags. If you were to buy 8 eighths to total an ounce, you’d be looking at roughly $440 to $480.
2. The Eighth (3.5g) Report
Prices are pre-tax. CT tax adds roughly 15-20% at checkout.
| Category | Price (Pre-Tax) | Dispensary | Product Details |
| Cheapest Eighth | $20.00 | Curaleaf / Higher Collective | Confidential Cherries or Carbon Fiber. |
| Average Eighth | $35.00 – $45.00 | Zen Leaf / Rise | Standard indoor flower (22-26% THC). |
| Most Expensive Eighth | $65.00 – $70.00 | Fine Fettle / Affinity | CTPharma or Theraplant “Platinum/Craft” tiers. |
- The “Today” Winner: You can currently grab an eighth for $20 at Curaleaf (Groton/Hartford) or Higher Collective. This is currently the lowest price point in the state for whole flower.
- The “Premium” Peak: Certain “Limited Drop” strains at Fine Fettle or The Botanist are currently holding at $68–$72.
Summary of the”Right Now” Extremes
- Cheapest in CT: $20 (Eighth) / $140 (Ounce).
- Most Expensive in CT: $72 (Eighth) / $440+ (Ounce equivalent).
