About Budist
Budist is the first dedicated social review platform for cannabis products and brands. Just as travelers, foodies, and moviegoers rely on reviews to guide their decisions, Budist gives consumers a trusted place to discover and share cannabis experiences for wellness and recreation.
Using Budist's 100-point rating system, cannabis experts and consumers can review products across every major category. The platform welcomes brands from every segment of the market while featuring editorial content that celebrates the producers, regions, and stories that define cannabis culture and heritage.
The Budist community is led by a diverse group of cannabis experts, or "Budists," including certified Ganjiers, cup judges, journalists, tastemakers, and connoisseurs. Their knowledge and perspectives help others discover products that best fit their individual needs. We invite everyone to contribute thoughtful reviews, share their experiences, and help elevate the cannabis conversation.
The Budist app is available on the App Store and Google Play.
Our Mission
Our mission is to be the industry standard for cannabis connoisseurship and product appreciation. We strive to be a trusted resource for navigating the complex, ever-evolving product landscape, giving consumers the tools they need to find the right product for their particular needs, while giving cannabis experts to share their knowledge, passion, and expertise.
By building a vibrant community of cannabis enthusiasts, Budist gives brands a place to tell their story, engage with consumers, and build lasting loyalty. This is particularly helpful for brands whose products reflect a higher level of craftsmanship, specialization, or nuance that requires deeper education and appreciation.
Our goal is to elevate cannabis culture by driving the premiumization of cannabis products and foster a greater diversity of voices, including legacy farms, artisanal producers, and equity brands. Together we're building a more informed, appreciative, and connected cannabis community.
