Hi guys,

I'm working on a price index for marijuana with my bud. We launched it a couple weeks ago and its gotten a pretty good response, with 600+ entries so far. It looks to be fairly accurate. Its kind of crazy to see the prices people are paying in the midwest (compared to our canadian prices).

We also added a google maps mashup to visualize the data so you can see price ranges from state to state. We'll probably do some articles/blog posts for some interesting topics, ie. price of weed in conservative states / liberal, etc.

Anyone have ideas or feedback? You can participate by submitting data anonymously here as well: http://www.priceofweed.com

Thanks!

Thats a good suggestion about adjusting the index. Write a formual that excludes the min/max of 5% or just publish the mean. I'm sure you can figure it out. Good idea, I like it.

There is no credibililty in two responses. Two people put in wrong prices. Let a few thousand people rate for each state and I bet it will come out about right.

I like the idea of the index. It shows an average here of $380 an oz for high. I pay $350 when I gotta, but by time you average the other bag sizes in, it's accurate enough. I love it.

I think its a great idea but you are gonna need hundreds if not more of prices to show a true medium of price. and definately find a way to block the idiots who are trying to screw it up with obviously bogus prices

Awesome idea. Just try and get a median/ mean price, throw out the 2 or 3 highest & lowest prices. I'm all over this shit. +rep!
