Actually Make Sense
Research that goes deeper than any other cannabis platform. Every strain breakdown, every recommendation, every insight β built on a system that reads the science so you don't have to.

Cannabis is Confusing β And That's By Design
Strain Names Are Made Up
The same strain can have 10 different names. Or one name used for completely different genetics.
Sativa vs. Indica Is a Myth
These categories don't predict effects. Science has proven this β but dispensaries still use them.
Dispensary Menus Are Marketing
"Relaxing" and "uplifting" labels are guesses, not research. They're selling, not educating.
Real Research Is Buried
Peer-reviewed studies exist β but they're written for scientists, not consumers.
I asked myself that same question. For years.
I Couldn't Trust What I Was Consuming
As a medical cannabis patient in Chicago, I've been consuming cannabis legally for years. But legal didn't mean clear.
I've spent over 12 years in the tech industry β building websites, apps, and software products. I know how to build things. But when it came to understanding what I was actually consuming? I was just as lost as everyone else.
Before legalization, there was no way to know what you were actually consuming. Street names meant nothing. Effects were unpredictable. You just hoped for the best.
When cannabis became legal, I expected clarity. Instead, I got marketing. Dispensary menus full of strain names, vague "relaxing" or "uplifting" labels, and zero real information about what I was putting in my body.
Now cannabis is a Schedule III drug. Research is finally accelerating. The science exists β it's just buried in academic journals, scattered across the internet, and written for scientists, not consumers.
I wanted to know what I was consuming. Not guesses. Not marketing copy. Real, research-backed information about every strain in my stash. I wanted to track my entire cannabis journey β not just recent purchases, but my whole lifetime as a consumer.
That platform didn't exist. So I started building it. For myself, at first.

One Person. Relentless Research. Thousands of Strains.
Most cannabis platforms rely on teams of writers manually researching and verifying every strain. They're always behind. Always incomplete. Always biased by whoever wrote it.
After 12+ years building tech products, I knew there had to be a better way.
Professor High researches thousands of strains nightly. He reads papers I couldn't get through in a lifetime. He analyzes data at a scale no human team could match β with consistency they can't replicate.
While competitors scramble to keep up with new strains, my AI has already researched them, analyzed them, and added them to the database. One founder with AI beats a room full of writers.
This isn't technology for technology's sake. It's a system that lets one person with a problem build the most continuously updated cannabis strain intelligence system on the internet.
I'm still educating myself about cannabis. Every day I learn something new about terpenes, effects, or how strains interact.
But I don't want to keep that knowledge to myself. I want to help everyone understand their cannabis journey β so we all become smarter consumers together.
The same AI that helps me understand my own cannabis journey can help you understand yours.
What If AI Did the Research for You?
The platform I wanted didn't exist. Traditional cannabis sites rely on crowdsourced reviews, marketing copy, and outdated categorizations. I needed something different.
So I built This Is Why I'm High deep research-first from day one.
Not opinions. Not crowdsourced reviews. Rigorous, consistent analysis as the foundation.
Reads the Research
Thousands of scientific papers. Terpene studies. Cannabinoid research. Processed at a scale no human team can match.
Analyzes the Data
Every strain analyzed with the same rigorous methodology. No bias. No shortcuts. No guesswork.
Speaks Your Language
Complex science transformed into clear, actionable insights you can actually use.
And behind all of this? One tireless AI researcher who never sleeps.

Chief Research Officer
"Greetings! I'm Professor High β your guide to cannabis science.
While you sleep, I'm reading research papers. While you're at work, I'm analyzing terpene profiles. While you're enjoying your favorite strain, I'm figuring out exactly why it makes you feel the way it does.
I don't get tired. I don't have bias. And I never stop learning.
My job is simple: take everything science knows about cannabis and translate it into knowledge you can actually use. No jargon. No hype. Just facts."
