A map of the Ohio marijuana market
Introducing
The High Canopy Report.
The Ohio cannabis market looks expansive at the surface, with dozens of brands competing across dispensary shelves. Beneath that surface, a smaller network of operators, licenses, and production systems determines how those products are actually made and distributed.
The High Canopy Report maps those relationships to show how the market actually works.
Did You Know
The top 5 operators account for ~40% of all brands in Ohio.
"While more than 130 brands are active in Ohio, a much smaller group of operators drives a significant share of that activity."
A Different Way to View the Market
Most views of the cannabis market start with brands. Packaging, pricing, and product categories shape what shows up on menus.
But brands are not where production lives.
In Ohio, a smaller group of licensed operators controls cultivation and processing. Brands sit on top of that system, often meaning multiple brands come from the same source.
This is the layer the High Canopy Report maps.

The High Canopy Index
The High Canopy Index is a proprietary ranking developed by High Canopy Research, designed to measure how operators function within the Ohio cannabis system.
Rather than focusing on brands or sales alone, it evaluates how operators participate across production, licensing, and brand development.
As those relationships evolve, the dataset is updated to reflect how the market is actually changing over time.
This is not a list of brands. It is a ranking of how the system is built.
