Editor's Notes

  • #16 The most interesting aspect of the cannabis industry, is that it has an incredibly diverse audience. What we like to say at Leafly is that cannabis is a mainstream product for mainstream people. And we’ve seen that to be true in every new market that opens. You can go into a dispensary and find a grandma picking up flower for her arthritis, a dad picking up a cartridge to just relax after work, maybe a mom checking out CBD oils. The point is, cannabis spans every demographic. Whether medicinal or recreational, consumers come in all forms and they all have one thing in common: they need information on this plant.
