The analysts also commented on the forward price curve: “The market outlook for fall prices remains bearish. In California, illegal marijuana grows are still running and likely expanding as they try to fit in another year or two prior to statewide regulation. The result will be large volumes of cheap product in the fall, alongside those growers that have increased expenses trying to legitimize in accordance with new rules. Newcomers now building grows in municipalities willing to permit them may add more supply prior to end of year, but not many are expected to come online in the immediate future, relative to the total number of cultivators currently operational in the state. … In Colorado, testing of medical marijuana written in rule to start in July probably will not happen on schedule. The pesticide testing program being developed is not yet off the ground and the implementation schedule is slipping.”

Implied forward prices are expected to reach their peak in August at $2,250 before falling to $1,650 in November.
