Best of Herbage — Oklahoma 2025
Best of Herbage has never been about forcing everything into a single spotlight.
This project exists to reflect the culture as it actually lives, layered, regional, collaborative, and sometimes too close in quality to responsibly reduce to one name on a pedestal.
During voting, it became clear that in several categories the community didn’t point to a single dominant winner. Instead, the results showed shared excellence, brands, people, and places earning real support at comparable levels. Rather than flatten that reality or manufacture separation where none truly existed, we chose to honor what the votes actually said.
That means:
Some categories resulted in a clear overall winner
Others reflected a tie, a split, or a level of parity worth respecting
And in all cases, recognition was guided by participation, impact, and authenticity, not hype or obligation
Best of Herbage Magazine is a community mirror, not a gatekeeper.
This list represents the winners that emerged through that process and the people and brands that consistently showed up, earned trust, and helped shape Oklahoma’s cannabis culture over the past year. It is not meant to diminish those not listed here, nor to suggest that excellence is limited to a fixed number of names.
Thank you for voting with intention, supporting your people, and helping us keep this rooted in something real.
