Cannabis Wise Guys · Data
The states already collect this data.
We make it legible.
Every legal cannabis market runs on a compliance-testing record. Every package that reaches a shelf was tested, logged, and filed with the state. That record is a public record. It belongs to the people who paid for the program — and most of them have never seen it.
I built this because the data should be public, and because transparency is the entire point. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. The numbers the states already hold tell you who is testing, where the volume sits, and how a market actually behaves once the rules are set — but only if someone takes the raw export and makes it readable.
There is no such thing as a free cannabis market — only a structured one. The structure decides who wins before the first plant goes in the ground.
That is what this property is for. Not a case against any regulator or any company. A clear look at the structure each state built, drawn entirely from the state's own record, so anyone can read it for themselves.
Three states, three records
Each one is a complete, deduplicated read of the state's compliance-testing data. Pick a state.
Illinois opened the door, then built the room too small to stand up in.
Twenty-one cultivation centers licensed under the old medical program still produce 88.1% of tested flower in 2025. The capped craft tier holds 11.8%. The door opened; the room stayed the incumbents'.

The first complete X-ray of a young, still-forming market.
New Jersey is three years old and the shape is already setting. The top ten facilities test 48.5% of all volume; fifteen of 133 facilities have already gone dark. Watch the structure form in real time.
De-identified by design — labs and facilities are coded (labs A–H), not named. A deliberate methodology choice, not a gap. Jan 2023 – Dec 2025.

The grow room is open. The concentration is in who grades the test.
Six years and half a million packages. Nevada's growing tier is genuinely competitive — producer concentration is among the lowest we've mapped — but three of ten labs handle 52.6% of all testing, and the major labs diverge by 6.2 points on how often they pass a package.

More states as the records come in.
We didn't investigate these states. We made their own data legible.
Every number on this property is the state's own public record — obtained through public-records requests, deduplicated to the package level, and nothing more. No private feeds, no estimates, no modeling. The full datasets are free to download on each state's page, so you can check the work yourself.
