CBD price per gram in 2026, and the gap with cannabis

The table lists, by weight tier, the prices shown on 22 September 2026 for products in stock. The median is the middle value, with half the products cheaper and half dearer.

The two moonrocks, flowers coated in extract, account for the prices above €11 per gram at 2 g. Leave them out and flowers at 2 g run from €4.95 to €8.95. Only flowers and resins are counted here. Oils to swallow, gummies and other CBD foods have been barred from sale as food since mid-May 2026, which the French Ministry of Agriculture confirmed in a parliamentary answer published on 1 September 2026.

Moonrocks aside, no two flowers at the 2 g tier are more than €4 per gram apart. Moving from the 2 g to the 100 g tier, the median flower price falls by €5.55 per gram. NYC Diesel costs €9.90 for 2 g (€4.95 per gram) and €199.90 for 100 g (€2.00 per gram), 60% less. The 120u hash falls 76%, from €7.95 to €1.90 per gram.

The price per gram of a large tier only makes sense if you use the quantity before it loses its aroma. To turn a weight into a duration, our article on how many grams are in a CBD joint estimates how long a 5 g bag lasts. For a pre-rolled joint, the price per gram is worked out on the net weight, which our guide to CBD pre-rolled joints shows you how to read on the pack. Our article on expired CBD and best-before dates helps you judge. The two guides 100 g of flowers: the price per gram and hash price per gram go through these tiers product by product.

Price per gram is a fair yardstick only between products of equal potency. Otherwise, divide the price of a gram by the milligrams of CBD it holds and multiply by 100 to get the price of 100 mg of CBD. At a potency of 11.7%, a gram holds 117 mg of CBD.

The ranking depends on the tier. At 2 g the flower costs less per milligram of CBD than the hash, even with its lower potency. At 100 g the order flips, with the hash down to €1.19 per 100 mg and the flower to €1.71. The calculation holds only if the potency comes from an analysis; a figure promised on a label is not enough. Our guide to reading a certificate of analysis shows where to find it, and the flowers and resins categories show reference potencies. Potency and prices can vary from one batch to the next.

Many people search for "the price of cannabis in 2026", and no official figure exists for that year. The latest public data come from the OFDT report on street prices of drugs, published on 10 February 2025. In 2023 a gram of herb cost about €10 (range €8 to €12) and a gram of resin €8 (range €6 to €11). The observatory draws on two sources: an annual questionnaire from the French anti-narcotics office, and TREND, its own field monitoring system.

Beyond price, the two have little in common. The OFDT summary on cannabis puts the average THC content in 2023 at 14.0% for herb and 29% for resin. These products are controlled drugs, and buying or possessing them is a criminal offence. A compliant CBD product contains no more than 0.30% THC; our article on the differences between THC and CBD explains what that limit means.

Wanting cheap CBD is reasonable, but price alone will not tell you whether a product is sound. The study backed by MILDECA covered 223 samples bought in 2022 and 2023. It found less CBD than stated in 69% of products, 87% under the 0.3% Δ⁹-THC limit and 6% containing undeclared neo-cannabinoids. On 19 June 2025, ANSM and Anses reported several hundred poisonings since early 2024 linked to products sold as CBD that held synthetic cannabinoids or more than 0.3% THC.

A rock-bottom price proves no adulteration, and a high one proves no compliance. The question is settled by an analysis of the batch on sale, showing the CBD content, Δ⁹-THC at 0.30% or less and no synthetic cannabinoids. The laboratory page describes what such an analysis should contain.

The current market is recent. Until 2020, French rules allowed only hemp fibres and seeds to be used. On 19 November 2020, in the Kanavape case, the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that a member state may not ban CBD lawfully produced elsewhere in the Union from the whole plant. Its press release summarises the judgment. On 29 December 2022, the Conseil d'État annulled the ban on selling raw flowers.

According to the research firm Xerfi, the CBD market in France brought in €600 million in revenue in 2023. Products to swallow have been barred from sale as food since mid-May 2026, while flowers, resins, e-liquids and cosmetics are still sold. Our article on CBD regulation in 2026 sets out the framework in detail.
