The Index
Ohio Cannabis by The Numbers
The High Canopy Index
The Ohio cannabis market has a new scoreboard.
It doesn’t track what sells. It tracks what’s behind it.
What This Measures
This is not a sales ranking.
It doesn’t track revenue, units sold, or retail performance.
It measures who is built into the market, through brands, production, and licensing.
These scores reflect infrastructure, not visibility.
Who’s part of the system, not just who shows up on the shelf.
How to Read the Index
Each score reflects a combination of operator activity across the system — including how many brands they support, how they participate in production, and how their infrastructure is structured.
Higher scores indicate broader participation across the market. Lower scores reflect more focused or limited roles.
Scores are relative, designed to show positioning within the system — not a fixed measure of “better” or “worse.”
Who's in the Game
Ranked by structural participation across production, licensing, and brand ecosystems.
These 3 at the top, it’s not random. These operators extend across multiple brands, categories, and production pathways. The broader the footprint, the more influence they carry.
