The evidence doesn't
exist yet. We're building it.
Bud AI starts you off on terpene chemistry — the part that's actually measured — and tells you honestly how thin the science behind each claim is. Then it asks what happened to you. Every report makes the next person's match better.
This is a cannabis network.
So let's act like one.
Nobody has run the studies. There is no trial telling you which strain helps your back at 2am, and the companies selling you flower are not going to fund one. But there are millions of people finding out the hard way, every night, and none of it gets written down. That is the whole problem, and it is a problem a network can actually solve.
Terpene profile and cannabinoid ratio from lab data. It is the only part that is measured, so it is where every match begins — and we tell you how thin the science behind it is.
Did it help, or didn't it? Two taps. Tied to the strain and to what you were treating, because “good weed” means nothing without knowing what for.
One report is an anecdote. A few hundred is a signal. We hold a strain's result back until enough members have reported on it for the same thing — the page tells you how many are in and how many it is waiting for.
Matches stop being theory and start being what worked for people like you. The longer the network runs, the less it has to guess.
Every other strain finder states terpene effects as fact. Most of those claims trace back to a single 2011 paper that was explicitly written as a hypothesis. We label what has actually been tested, including when the answer was no.
Limonene reduces THC anxiety. Double-blind crossover, 2024. It held up — but at a dose far above what is in flower, so treat it as a lead, not a promise.
Myrcene causes sedation. The best-known claim in cannabis. It rests on mouse studies and traditional hop use. No human trial has ever tested it.
Pinene protects your memory. Tested directly in humans in 2025 at three doses. It did nothing. We do not repeat it, and we will tell you so.

A cannabis log tied to your name is the most sensitive thing on this site. In the wrong hands it can cost somebody a job, a lease or a custody arrangement. So it is locked down at the database, not just hidden on the page:

🪪 Getting a Colorado red card — what the state actually requires
Why there are no stars on this page
Colorado Medical Board rule 3 CCR 713-1.24 makes misleading advertising unprofessional conduct, and names unsubstantiated testimonials and claims of professional superiority as examples of it. A star rating from a handful of anonymous members, printed beside a doctor's name, is exactly that — and the person it could land in trouble is the doctor, not us.
So this page carries no ratings, no review counts, no advertised consult prices and no “same-day” or “top-rated” claims, and it never will. What it carries instead is a licence number you can check in thirty seconds.
🩺 Medical News
📏 What the evidence labels mean
Every research item on this page carries one, and the design and the number of people in the study sit underneath it. A review pooling 2,187 patients and a study of forty mice are not the same finding, and this industry prints them the same way.
Where a finding is routinely overstated — by either side — the item carries an Often reported as box saying what the overclaim is. We would rather tell you a study is weak than let you find out from a dispensary.

🏬 Cannabis Businesses
🔎 How a business gets on this page
We read the company's own website and take the address from there. Not Yelp, not a "best head shops in Denver" list, not a data broker. Those are confidently out of date and copying them inherits the mistake.
Of the first thirteen businesses we checked, one had closed, one could not be found to exist at all, and a third had its own website saying it was open while its business listing said permanently closed — so we left that one off until somebody telephones them. Two more had addresses that were simply wrong.
It is a slower way to build a directory and it is the only one that does not send somebody across town to a locked door.
📋 Missing a category?
The filters above include security, services, brands and media because those are real parts of this industry, and some of them have nothing in them yet. An empty category is us saying we have not verified anybody in it — not that nobody exists.
If you run one, or buy from one worth listing, say so and we will check them.
Every licensed cannabis business gets a free listing — name, address, hours, map and member reviews. Want to be found first, or run your own page with a live catalogue, specials and a photo wall you control? Same rates, same tools as the dispensaries.

🎉 Nationwide Events & Shows
Submit Your Upcoming Event
Throwing a 420 party, a grow clinic, a cup, a vendor day, a patient town hall, a glass drop, a networking night? Put it in front of every cannabis consumer in your city. It is free, and it always will be — we do not charge anyone to be on this calendar.
What we need: the name, the date, where it is, the start and finish time, who can get in (everyone, 21+, medical card, trade badge), and a link we can check it against. A line about what actually happens there helps people decide to come.
We read every submission against the organiser before it goes up, so give us a day or two. If something does not check out we will come back and ask rather than quietly dropping it.
There is no feed for cannabis events. No API, no calendar file — every events list on the internet is typed in by hand, which is why so many of them are wrong. When we checked eight consumer events against the people actually running them, only three stood up. One expo listed everywhere for February 2027, venue and all, turned out to have no confirmed dates or venue at all according to its own organiser. Another sat under “current events” six weeks after it finished.
So we do it the same way we did the dispensaries. Every event above was read on the organiser’s own website, and each card says when we last checked and links to where we read it. If something could not be confirmed — a venue, an age limit, whether the public can even buy a ticket — the card says so instead of guessing.
The local stuff is where this gets good. National calendars list trade shows in Prague and Bangkok. They will never carry your shop’s vendor day. Every dispensary that claims its page here can post its own events, and they land on this calendar under their city — free, no approval queue.
👕 WorldChronic Gear
Merch gets made after we launch. Printing a hundred hoodies on a hunch is how a small company ties up money in boxes of the wrong size, so we are asking first.
💡 What else should we put it on?
The eight above are our guess. You will have a better one — you know what you would actually wear with a cannabis logo on it and where you would wear it. Tap an idea or write your own.
🚫 What we are deliberately not making
An earlier version of this range had a rolling kit, a glass pipe and a smell-proof stash bag on it. They are gone, and not because nobody would buy them.
Anything that counts as paraphernalia drags the whole store into a different category for card processing, and a cannabis company that cannot take card payments on a $24 t-shirt has made its own life hard for no reason. Shirts, hats and mugs can be sold by any normal payment processor. Pipes cannot. So the range is apparel and goods, and the actual cannabis stays where it belongs — in a licensed shop.

A ten-store operator is not one advertiser — it is ten storefronts with different menus,
different hours, different addresses, and different people behind each counter. So we
price Flagship per location, and every one of your shops gets its own page on
WorldChronic, its own live menu, its own daily specials, and its own Back Room login.
The people who know what is moving off that shelf today are the ones who post it.
The more doors you run, the less each one costs —
banded the way income tax is, so each store is charged in the band it falls in. There is no
ceiling and no negotiated deal: a twenty-store group and an independent are both reading
the same published number off this page.
Free to be listed. $1,200 to be found first. $2,400 to have your own page on the only social network your shop can advertise on.
Every photo, video and word posted to WorldChronic — by shops and by members — is checked automatically before it goes public. Clean posts are live in seconds. Anything flagged is read by a person, and you are told either way. Nothing is ever silently deleted. This is what keeps the platform safe for your license as much as ours.
“You have no audience yet.”
Correct, and the numbers are at the top of this page rather than hidden. That is what you are buying at this price — the position before the audience, not after it. When the audience is there, this rate will not be.
“I already pay a directory.”
Then you already have a menu listing, and this is not one. Nobody opens a directory to see what their friends thought of a strain. They open it when they already know what they want. We are where people are before that — and we are the only one of us that a shop is actually allowed to advertise on, because Meta, Google and TikTok will not take your money at any price.
“Three months is a lot to commit to something new.”
One month of advertising anywhere tells you nothing — you would be judging us on a fortnight of setup. Three months is the shortest honest test. After that it is month to month with no notice period, and we refund whole prepaid months you have not used.
“What if it does not work?”
You cancel, and we refund what you have not used. We would rather lose a customer at month four than have one who feels trapped telling every other shop owner in Denver about it. There is no auto-renewal and no cancellation fee to find in the small print, because there is no small print.
Tell us the shop and we come back to you. No account needed, nothing is charged, and nothing goes live until you have seen it and said yes.

⚖️ Cannabis Laws — State by State
Licensed delivery we confirmed at the state's own regulator:
Colorado is not statewide. Delivery is legal only in jurisdictions that passed an ordinance allowing it, so it depends on your town. Washington has no consumer delivery at all.
Nobody is listed here yet, and we are not going to invent somebody. This slot used to hold two law firms and a clinic that do not exist. On a page about what happens when you get pulled over, a made-up defence lawyer is the worst thing we could put in front of you, so they are gone.
When a real firm takes this slot you will see their bar number and the states they are actually licensed in, and you will be able to check both.
