Dan K Reports

Dan K Reports is an independent cannabis market research and policy analysis publication focused on the economics of legal cannabis in the United States. We turn fragmented state data, regulatory filings, pricing information, sales reports, and industry developments into accessible, data-driven analysis for investors, policymakers, industry professionals, advocates, and consumers.

My research covers cannabis pricing, market size, legal versus illicit market participation, dispensary competition, regulatory structure, taxation, market accessibility, and the economic forces shaping mature and emerging cannabis markets. A major focus of Dan K Reports is state-by-state cannabis market analysis, examining how factors such as retail density, product prices, licensing restrictions, taxes, enforcement, and consumer access influence legal market performance.

Dan K Reports also maintains original cannabis data resources, including a Cannabis Price Tracker, Cannabis Legislation Tracker, and MSO financial data tools designed to make industry information easier to find, compare, and understand. My price research tracks cannabis markets across the country and provides a clearer view of long-term price compression and differences between state regulatory systems.

Beyond reporting industry statistics, Dan K Reports develops original research frameworks for evaluating cannabis legalization outcomes and estimating the percentage of consumer demand captured by regulated markets. I regularly analyze state cannabis programs, federal cannabis policy, legalization proposals, Schedule III and 280E developments, major multi-state operators, and broader trends affecting the future of the legal cannabis industry.

The goal is straightforward: replace assumptions about cannabis markets with measurable evidence. Dan K Reports combines public data, independent analysis, and real-world market observations to provide a more quantitative perspective on cannabis economics and policy.
