As Canada marks three months since the legalization of cannabis, the country's consumers have shown a keen interest in certain cannabis strains. Some of these strains were already well-known before legalization, while others are gaining popularity. This interest is reflected in search data from Leafly, a popular cannabis information resource
One of the most sought-after strains is Gorilla Glue, now rebranded due to a trademark dispute as Original Glue (GG4), New Glue (GG5), and Sister Glue (GG1). Known for its potent relaxing effects, it leaves users feeling euphoric and 'glued' to their seats. This hybrid, with its strong Indica dominance, has been a favorite among Canadians seeking a powerful body high
Another strain that remains in high demand is Blue Dream, a legendary hybrid resulting from the cross of Blueberry and Super Silver Haze. This strain offers a balanced experience with a sativa dominance, providing calming and cerebral effects that appeal to a wide range of consumers. Its popularity persists due to its ability to deliver relaxation without overwhelming sedation
Rockstar, a relatively new entrant in the market, is quickly gaining recognition. This Indica-dominant hybrid, derived from Rockbud and Sensi Star, is known for its strong cerebral effects without causing debilitating sedation. It is particularly effective for alleviating migraines, menstrual pain, stress, depression, and insomnia, according to Leafly
The Blueberry strain, which shares lineage with Blue Dream, has also captured Canadian interest. Known for its fruity and sweet flavor profile and high THC content, this Indica strain provides a long-lasting euphoric and relaxing effect. It is often chosen for its ability to relieve stress and pain
Mango, another fruity Indica strain, is appreciated for its large flowers and tropical aroma. This classic strain has been the foundation for many others, including Mango Kush, and is favored for its relaxing and euphoric effects. It continues to be a popular choice among Canadians seeking a soothing experience
The legalization of cannabis in Canada has not only boosted interest in these strains but also highlighted the country's robust cannabis culture. As consumers explore these varieties, the market is expected to continue evolving, offering even more options to cater to diverse preferences and needs
