How does the Maryland medical cannabis market compare to others in the US? When we compare basket sizes, we can see that Maryland's cannabis market had the second largest basket size over the last six months. The largest average basket size belongs to Pennsylvania, another medical-only cannabis market. Interestingly, the average Maryland basket has a slightly greater amount of products than in PA: 2.8 items per basket in MD compared to 2.6 in PA. Therefore, Maryland's customers have paid a significantly lower average price per item ($38.82) than Pennsylvania's customers ($51.20) over the previous six months.
