 From MJBiz: On the other side of the country, in more mature markets such as California and Colorado, flower consumers are becoming more sophisticated, said Steve Gutterman, CEO of Falcon Brands, a vertically integrated cannabis company based in Irvine, California.

“As markets mature and more competition comes on and customers get more sophisticated, there’s more differentiating between products,” he added. That’s when quality comes into play.

According to Gutterman, high-end flower is less vulnerable to falling prices.

Savvy consumers who are shopping for more than THC content will pay a premium for terpene and cannabinoid content. “Customers are increasingly sophisticated – if they want something on the high end that’s been really well-produced and tastes good, they’re willing to pay up. 

Gutterman sees high-end, indoor-grown flower in California wholesaling at $1,700-$2,000 a pound, which is slightly down from this time last year. “There’s this niche of high-end indoor that’s stayed price-inelastic,” he added. Overall, Gutterman expects flower to remain the single-biggest product category. “At its core, flower provides a social experience that other things don’t,” he said, adding that every other product tries to replicate what flower offers.
