The Flower category, which traditionally dominates the cannabis market, has shown a significant downturn, aligning with the broader market trends. In March 2025, Flower sales totaled approximately $100.73 million with an average item price of $28.78. Despite an 8.8% increase in sales from the previous month, the year-over-year metrics reveal a 16.1% decline in sales and a 15% drop in units sold, indicating a substantial contraction in this category. This downturn might be attributed to market saturation or shifting consumer preferences towards other categories such as Edibles or Vapor Pens, which have shown different dynamics.
