The Global Top 200 Cannabis Consultants 2025 1st Edition
Welcome to the inaugural edition of this, the 4th in our series, of global cannabis professionals & specialists directories.
We currently have in publication the Top 200 Cannabis Lawyers (6th Ed), Top 200 Cannabis Accountants (1st Edition), Top 200 Psychedelics Lawyers & Experts (4th Ed)
Once again we have built a free research publication that aims to provide individuals, companies and the public sector a comprehensive guide to the best cannabis consultants around the world.
Cannabis consulting is a broad church and we don’t purport to provide details about every cannabis consultant on every continent but we do attempt to provide the most exhaustive guide to the best consultants in the field, especially with regard to the following.
- Licensing
- Compliance
- Regulation
- Business Management
There are also many other fields of cannabis consulting from grow planning, cultivation specialists, testing, gmp certification, the list goes on forever.
We have included some individuals in these and other fields but initially the directory will reflect our existing focus on legal and regulatory requirements.
Please note that if you are looking for a law firm or accountancy providing consultancy services we list them in our Top 200 Cannabis Lawyers and Top 200 Cannabis Accountants publications.
How Listings Are Compiled
All individuals are editorially chosen after exhaustive research and receive a free basic entry in the directory.
Those companies or individuals who’d like to upgrade to a full profile with photo and biographical detail pay a fee to do so.
Directory Criteria
We list people not companies in the top 200.
Individuals must be easy to find online and contact preferably with both a up to date website & Linked In profile + photo.
We usually look for 5+ years experience in the cannabis industry.
We try to cover all regulated cannabis jurisdictions in North America and ROW.
We look to find the best individuals within bigger organisations as well as the best solos.
It is worth noting that many cannabis consultancy companies are in fact a loose amalgamation of experts so those of you looking for across the board coverage when bringing a project to market may do better hiring an outfit that can bring multiple individuals under one roof with a wide range of knowledge and skills to progress the road map.
In the US the bigger consultancy outfits who specialise purely in cannabis are, amongst others.
- Cann Delta
- Cann Strategy
- Cannaspire
- 4 Points
- Higher Yields
- Hyde Advisory & Investments
- Vicente
The directory focuses on individuals as many will be able to cover a number of bases for their clients so we always suggest checking through some individuals initially as you may find they can do as good a job for you as an outfit with multiple single skilled professionals
The regulated market is now decade plus in the US and many consultants listed have been involved with the industry for a minimum of 10-15 years and across multiple states. 2025 has been quite fallow for the industry and many have dropped by the wayside over the last 12+ months. Those we have listed know how to weather the lean times and be of value to their clients .
We hope this directory helps you find the correct consultant for your business / project
