How the research ranking works
Every strain is eligible for 0–300 research points: up to 170 for documented awards, published reviews and popularity; up to 110 for historical availability; and up to 20 for usable flower THC observations. Operator catalogs alone contribute at most 20 availability points. Open a strain to see its sources and score breakdown. These are editorial research points, not people’s votes or a national sales chart.
Each original name in the September 12 research pass received an evidence review; names without accepted evidence received exact-name internet searches. A search does not guarantee a review or award exists, and some source pages remain inaccessible. Unmatched names can receive modest availability points. Awards apply to the named competition entry and category. This ranking favors stronger flower: a comparable median below 12% THC across at least two captured menus receives no research points. Higher THC alone does not establish quality, and zero points is not a negative review. Profiles added from parentage citations start without research points until their own awards, reviews or availability are assessed. Each upvote adds 25 points; each downvote subtracts 25. Changing or removing your vote adjusts the score. The up/down counts show actual votes submitted here.
Which states are covered?
The leaderboard has strain references from 39 states plus D.C.. That is separate from the 41 medical-program states listed by NCSL. We have not established cultivar evidence for Alabama, Texas or Nebraska. North Carolina’s entries come from the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians’ tribal program. Iowa has a separate restricted-product program and five listed dispensaries, but no verified cultivar names in this catalog.
Alabama, Iowa and Texas are included in the dispensary directory. Nebraska’s program is approved, with no operating dispensary verified in the current sources.
