With 24 legalization states, we’re in a golden age of legal trees. But finding the best has never been more complex.
We’re all about that omakase life. It’s that Japanese word meaning, “I’ll leave it up to you.” Order sushi omakase, and you leave it up to the chef to pick the best.
Well, Leafly likes to go omakase on America’s best weed and canna-brands.
So starting today for the next few weeks, Leafly surveys America’s devoted budtenders for the best strain in their state, and the best flower brand.
Budtenders, take the survey:
On International Budtender Day, Oct. 20, we’ll hand out three, $1,000 checks to budtenders who responded to the survey.
On Dec. 9, we announce each state’s winning strain and flower brand in Leafly Budtenders’ Choice 2024 awards, as part of our Leafly Strain of the Year 2024 package.
Why a Budtenders’ Choice?
Budtenders connect the production engine of the cannabis industry to millions of retail consumers.
With more than 24 legal states, and upwards of 10,000 stores across the country, cannabis shopping feels confusing.
Budtenders cut through the noise to help you find the next hype flavor, and the right edible for pain or sleep.
How does Leafly Budtenders’ Choice 2024 work?
Follow these steps:
- Budtenders—shout out your favorite strain in your state this year, as well as your favorite flower producer. The survey takes less than a minute—we know you don’t have time for this.
- The contest closes at midnight Oct. 15, then we contact the winners. On Oct. 20— International Budtender Day—we tell the world which budtenders won.
- On Dec. 9, we’ll announce your state’s winning strain and brand as Leafly Budtenders’ Choice awards for 2024.
