The marijuana delivery platform Eaze harnessed data from 350,000 customers and survey responses from 15,000 users for its 2017 State of Cannabis report. Here are a few of the findings:

Eaze data shows that 35% of its customers last year were women, up from 33% in 2016 and 25% in 2015. Women’s spending on products jumped 20% last year and has kept increasing.

The No. 1 strain is LA OG, a sweet and earthy smelling indica known for its relaxing effects. Last year’s No. 1 strain, Gorilla Glue, tumbled six spots. People are also experimenting with different strains for different activities. Hybrids are still preferred, which account for 60% of the list, followed by sativa (30%), and indica (10%).

Through the Smoking Glass

Green Lucy was a gorgeous emerald-colored masterpiece with thick, bulbous glass at the top, comfortable for ripping huge hits. It was a celebrity on our floor of the creative arts co-op where we lived. People would come from all over the house, and sometimes from other parts of campus, just to hang with Bear and get baked from Green Lucy.
