I did some research and it turns out 120 an ounce is the minimum you can expect to pay in Colorado, not the average. The average is more in line with 153, and goes up to 200. The 120$ is probably lower THC that is harder to sell. With the exchange rate, the average ounce of legal pot in Colorado will set you back just under 200$ CDN and the good stuff will cost you 250$.

You can get an ounce of high quality 17.5% THC weed from a licensed provider in Ontario is 210$ before taxes today. If the recreational costs significantly more than the medical, the powers that be will probably make it way more difficult to get a medical card.
