Visualizing Wholesale Cannabis Products

LeafLink Insights decided to break it down for brands. We split the 55,000+ active SKUs on LeafLink into categories, then looked at the words most commonly used for each. For example, for Topicals products, the word “skin” was used most frequently – 897 times, to be exact. For Edibles, on the other hand, the word “chocolate” was most common (used 4,221 times).
