A year ago, we launched the first Power List with one aim: to celebrate the people who make cannabis science such a varied and exciting field. The response was overwhelmingly positive, so this year we’re going bigger and better – adding new categories to cover a wider range of specialties. Our “5x5” is made up of the top five influencers across five areas – scroll down to find out who made the cut!

With only five spots in each category, the judges had tough choices to make, and we ran out of space for some truly great scientists and mentors, both established and up-and-coming. We’ve included a few of the entries that caught our eye (but didn’t quite make it onto the list) in each category.

Note: Our fabulous fives were just too good to rank, so they are listed alphabetically (by surname).
