What’s the most typical cannabis business name you can imagine?

Marijuana Business Daily has an interesting bit of data analysis this week. They’ve crunched through all the cannabis businesses in their listings and spit out the most common words for both growers’ and sellers’ names.

The top word choices were, in descending order of popularity: Green, cannabis, farm, center, wellness and garden, according to MBD’s data.

If you’re a seller, the prototypical name might be something like “Green Leaf Cannabis Herbal Wellness Center,” according to MBD’s data.

For a producer, it might be “Green Bud Natural High Farm Care Garden.”

Conspicuously missing, as MBD reports, are the slang terms associated with pot. Business owners want to sell pot as a wellness product, so they’re rejecting traditional drug culture.

That’s why I’m going to cut against the grain and call my new dispensary “Kingpin Kenney’s Federally Illegal and Probably Still Unhealthy Drug Bazaar for Stoners Only.”

Most voters didn't vote in the primary, and many races only had one person running, giving candidates a chance to avoid criticism and stay silent on the issues.
