If there are two things Americans can’t escape right now, it’s rising prices and the discussion of rising prices. In fact, marijuana prices are down. While the marijuana and alcohol industries have both been hit by rising costs and supply shortages, their prices are not growing at the same rate as many other consumer goods. There is no denying that inflation is dangerously high, with the most recent inflation rate at about 9.1% according to Bloomberg. One major difference between alcohol and marijuana is how it can be purchased and consumed.
