Northeast extract brands that bring in the big bucks

Extracts come in many forms and go by lots of names. Cannabis products like dabs, vape pens, and RSO are extracts, also known as concentrates or oil. The name is not as important as the quality, though sometimes the former indicates the latter. In the Northeast, many states have turned over to legal or medical. In the process, certain brands have expanded into sales leaders.

Hoodie Analytics is a cannabis intelligence sales platform that tracks data sets like units sold, total dollars made, and frequency of restocks in retail shops. These are the three top-selling extracts in each state. Some markets, like Minnesota which allows sparing adult use on Tribal reservations and medical dispensaries, but isn’t featured due to a lack of data on Hoodie. Maybe next year! For now, these are the top-selling Northeast extract brands.

Connecticut

The Connecticut senate legalized cannabis in 2021 and the state industry has slowly developed since then. Though there may be more extract brands operating in the state, Hoodie was only tracking four brands when this data was pulled. That said, three brands stand as the most popular by sales tracked in the database:

1. CTPharma
2. Theraplant
3. Advanced Grow Labs

Delaware

Delaware is proudly the 23rd state to legalize cannabis for adult use in April 2023. Since then, the market has chugged along with three hash companies as top dog sellers.

1. First State Compassion
2. Columbia Care
3. Th3 Farm

Illinois

As one of the early Midwestern adopters of legal weed, Illinois serves as a cannabis hub with many brands to choose from. Despite the variety, these companies have captured their target audiences.

1. Aeriz
2. Cresco
3. Nature’s Grace and Wellness

Maine

Cannabis is legal in Maine, and in May, consumers spent $21M on concentrates, according to Hoodie. Here are the top performers among them.

1. Live Cannabis Maine
2. Rugged Roots
3. Blue Sky Labs

Maryland

Anyone over 21 can go to a dispensary in Maryland, where the Governor signed adult use into law in 2023. Now, there are three best-selling cannabis concentrates in the market.

1. SunMed Growers
2. Beezle Brands
3. Nature’s Heritage

Massachusetts

The state of Massachusetts legalized weed in 2016 and has since developed a robust scene in the state filled with American history. As far as concentrates go, these are the three best sales performers.

1. Crispy Commission
2. Nature’s Heritage
3. Sanctuary Medicinals

Michigan

Cannabis culture has been brewing in Michigan for years, and extract brands bubbled up along with it. There are three favorite extractors among the lot by the sales numbers:

1. 710 Labs
2. Cannalicious
3. Trap House

New Jersey

Cannabis has been legal in New Jersey for some time, but it took years for dispensaries to come online. Despite the wait, brands have found their way into consumer hearts, especially these three:

1. Verano
2. Grassroots Cannabis
3. Haze Cannabis Co.

New York

There are a lot of cannabis operators in New York, and not all of them are licensed. As NYPD attempts to stifle the gray market, licensed extractors carve out a name for themselves.

1. MFNY
2. #Hash
3. Blotter

Ohio

Medical cannabis has been legal in Ohio since 2016, and now the state is days away from its first adult-use sale. Turning over from medical to recreational can shake up an industry. For now, these are the top-selling Ohio brands.

1. Klutch Cannabis
2. Butterfly Effect
3. Riviera Creek

Pennsylvania

The Pennsylvania cannabis market remains medical as lawmakers continue pursuing adult-use bills. In the meantime, these medical extract brands peaked as the top three purchased in the previous year.

1. Cresco
2. Organic Remedies
3. Double Bear

Rhode Island

Rhode Island has had medical cannabis for decades, but adult use only hit the East Coast state in 2022. Since then, three brands have become top sellers:

1. Mother Earth Wellness
2. Mammoth Inc
3. Fire Ganja

Vermont

Those in Vermont are used to legal cannabis, as recreational pot has been on the menu since 2018. There are probably favored brands with less stock, but these three have made the most money.

1. Satori
2. Sugar House Solventless
3. Vermont Essentials

Top extracts in the Northeast

The concept of “best” is subjective, but there’s no fudging the numbers. When it comes to extracts in the Northeast, these are the ones Hoodie Analytics marks as the highest earning on the scene. They may or may not be the best, but they rise above the rest in dollars.
