America’s weed smokers need more direction than ever. Gone are the days of one or two strains from your guy. A single store may carry 200 strains, and each of the 24 adult-use states has its own siloed system.

To help you shop smarter, Leafly deployed experts in more than a half-dozen cities this year to sniff out top-shelf flower and value buys, and rate them on a 100-point scale. We rated a record 46 flowers and edibles—a stunning snapshot of some heat in the streets. Let your fingers do the shopping with this collection of all Leafly Ratings from 2023.
