Alberta Cannabis Sales

Oct 2026

Overview

Alberta sits among the lowest-priced cannabis markets in North America, with average prices falling roughly 33% year over year as of April 2026.

Against peers, Alberta's pricing trajectory suggests a market where volume growth is real but margins are thinning fast.
