What Is the Green Forecast?
The Green Forecast is CannaIntelligence’s flagship quarterly publication — a comprehensive global cannabis intelligence report that combines hard market data with cultural trend forecasting. Each issue is designed for entrepreneurs, investors, journalists, and city officials who need real data to make real decisions.
No other cannabis publication combines quantitative market rankings with named cultural trend forecasting. The Green Forecast brings the rigor of institutional research to an industry that’s never had it — real revenue data, public filings, and regulatory intelligence, not guesswork.
What’s Inside Each Issue
Front Matter
Editor’s letter setting the quarter’s context, methodology notes, and full table of contents.
Special Theme Deep Dive
Each issue features a deep-dive report on a major theme. The debut issue covers “The State of Cannabis 2026” — a comprehensive baseline assessment of where the global cannabis industry stands right now.
Global Market Rankings
Top cannabis markets worldwide ranked by actual revenue, not projections. State-by-state U.S. data, international market assessments, and a tier classification system that tells you which markets are growing, maturing, or contracting.
The Brand Tracker
Company and brand rankings with real financial data extracted from public filings. Revenue, store counts, margins, M&A activity, and strategic moves for the quarter. No anonymous “market leaders” lists — actual financials from actual filings.
Consumption Trends
Product category shifts, format innovation, minor cannabinoid adoption, and how consumers are actually buying cannabis. Flower vs. pre-rolls vs. edibles vs. beverages — tracked quarterly with real sales data where available.
Breakthroughs & Regulatory Tracker
The quarter’s most significant developments: rescheduling updates, new state legalizations, banking developments, scientific breakthroughs, and court rulings that reshape the industry. Not a news roundup — an analysis of what each development means for the market.
The Green Forecast
The section that gives the publication its name. Named cultural trend forecasting — 10+ named movements reshaping how cannabis integrates into consumer culture, with evidence, timelines, confidence levels, and cross-industry implications.
Back Matter
Detailed methodology notes, complete source list, about CannaIntelligence, and the TryCannabis.org network directory.
