What it means for buyers
- Compare quotes on price per gram of the finished pack, not price per pound. Our 2026 price guide has a conversion table.
- With growers leaving, ask each vendor what it will have next month. Supply consistency is worth 10 points on our vendor scorecard.
- Expect more scrutiny of testing. Check every COA before you accept a transfer.
- OMMA begins enforcing HB 4454, which covers packaging and edibles that appeal to children, on November 1, 2026. Ask vendors whether their packaging is ready.
