What THC mints cost
In the U.S., THC mints cost $10 to $50 per pack. A pack holds 10 to 20 mints. Each mint contains 1 to 10 mg THC. Total THC per pack is 20 to 200 mg. Price per milligram is $0.10 to $0.60. Medical dispensaries in states with low taxes sell mints for less. Recreational stores in states with high taxes sell mints for more.
Price by package size and dose
- 10 mints x 2.5 mg = 25 mg: $8 to $15
- 20 mints x 5 mg = 100 mg: $15 to $40
- 10 mints x 10 mg = 100 mg: $18 to $45
- 20 mints x 10 mg = 200 mg: $30 to $70
These prices are before tax. A 100 mg pack is the most common size. It gives 100 doses of 1 mg or 20 doses of 5 mg.

Taxes and fees
State taxes add 10% to 37% to the sticker price. Washington has a 37% excise tax. Colorado has a 15% excise tax plus a 15% state sales tax. California has a 15% excise tax plus sales tax. Illinois has a 20% to 35% tax based on THC content. Local taxes add 1% to 10% more. A $20 mint pack can cost $25 to $30 after tax. A $40 pack can cost $50 to $60 after tax.
Cost per milligram compared with other forms
THC mints cost more per milligram than flower or tinctures. Flower costs $0.05 to $0.15 per mg THC. Tinctures cost $0.08 to $0.20 per mg. Mints cost $0.10 to $0.60 per mg. The gap comes from production. Mints need precise dosing, child-resistant packaging, and shelf stability. Stores also charge more for portable, discrete products.
Why convenience affects price
Mints are portable. They have no smell. They are pre-dosed. Users can take one mint without a lighter, pipe, or grinder. These features raise demand. Demand raises price. Convenience has become a deciding factor for many buyers. A buyer who wants a low dose at a concert or at work may pay a higher price per mg. A buyer who wants the lowest cost per mg may choose flower or tincture.

- Check the label for total THC, not the number of mints.
- Add tax and local fees to the sticker price.
- Ask about medical discounts if you have a state card.
