Nope, that's not a $20 bill lying there

Doherty at Reason points to a new site tracking the price of marijuana.

It's much cheaper in Canada than the States and cheaper on the west coast than the east.

I rather expect that trying to profit from those price differences would be rather riskier than exploiting price differences across different prediction markets.

  1. I wonder if this has implications for "pot tourism"? Will afficionados travel to locations where higher quality for lower cost is the norm? Legal status is presumably the most important determinand for those folks, but that aside maybe the data on this side will be used to determine holiday destinations.
