The ranking
The ten best, in order
Star averages on their own reward shops nobody has been to. A 4.9 from 340 people is a weaker claim than a 4.8 from 7,000, so every rating here is pulled toward the Delaware average in proportion to how few reviews sit behind it.

Questions
How this list is built
Why is the order not just star rating?
Because a star average hides how many people stood behind it. Every shop's rating is shrunk toward the Delaware mean in proportion to its review count, so a shop needs both a high score and real volume to reach the top. The weighted figure is printed on every entry next to the raw one.
Where does the data come from?
Google Maps, pulled fresh and filtered to shops that are open, licensed and listed under a cannabis category. Anything permanently or temporarily closed is dropped, as is anything that turned up in the search but sits outside Delaware.
Why are there no prices or brand lists?
Because we have not read them yet. Menu data lives behind each shop's ordering platform and licence numbers live on the state register, and neither is published here until it has been pulled from the source rather than guessed.
How often does it change?
Quarterly. Ratings move, shops close, and a list that is not re-checked becomes a directory of places that used to be good.
