🔍 Real Reddit Reviews Across Canada

Each month, BudTrendz analyzes sentiment and trend score data from six of the most active Canadian cannabis subreddits to determine which flower brands made the biggest impact — and how the community felt about them.

July was our most active month yet, reflecting a growing, more vocal consumer base. From cult favorites to polarizing newcomers, sentiment continues to swing widely — and brand perception is shifting fast.

📊 How Many Brands Made the Chart?

113 distinct flower brands appeared in July — up from 84 in June and nearly triple May’s 39. Reddit users are clearly expanding their horizons, increasingly discussing both craft and mass-market options.

💡 Takeaway: We’re witnessing a more competitive and fragmented flower market, with consumers embracing a broader range of producers.

🏆 Top 5 Brands by 

Positive Sentiment

(Ranked by total positive trend score)

✅ EastCann and Sixty Seven Sins made major jumps, while Simply Bare re-entered the top ranks after a quieter June.

🚫 Brands with Notable Negative Sentiment

Some brands found themselves on the wrong side of Reddit’s opinion this month, with high negative trend scores due to batch inconsistency, pricing issues, or just being in the spotlight.

⚠️ Once again, Woody Nelson topped both the positive and negative lists — a sign of its massive visibility and the pressures that come with it.

🧲 Who Got the Most Overall Attention?

Combining positive, neutral, and negative trend scores, these brands dominated Reddit discourse in July:

🔄 Key Changes from June to July

📈 Winners:

• EastCann – Massive sentiment surge (3,472 positive vs. 567 negative in June).
• Sixty Seven Sins – Broke into top 5 for the first time, despite some divisive feedback.
• Simply Bare – Returned to positive ranks after dropping off last month.
• 1964 – Rebounded from its June dip, regaining some of its lost momentum.

📉 Losers:

• Volo – Major backlash, with more than 3,400 in negative trend score and minimal positive support.
• Pistol and Paris – Split sentiment weighed heavily negative.
• Carmel Cannabis – A rare appearance in the negative list suggests quality control or expectation issues.
• Potluck – Still popular, but the spike in criticism may reflect batch inconsistencies or market fatigue.
• Pure Sunfarms – After a strong June, slipped dramatically in both volume and sentiment.

🧠 Brands like Woody Nelson and EastCann remain polarizing, showing how high visibility increases scrutiny and amplifies every experience — good or bad.

🧠 Final Takeaways

1. Market Attention Keeps Rising

113 flower brands is a new record. Reddit is now a central discovery engine for lesser-known producers.

2. Big Names Face Bigger Risks

Woody Nelson, Potluck, Simply Bare, and Carmel are all top-of-mind — but they’re also under the most scrutiny.

3. Comebacks Are Real

EastCann and 1964 bounced back in a big way. Consumers are open to redemption, if the product hits.

4. Craft Still Dominates Positive Sentiment

Even amid mass-market entries, the top sentiment scores cluster around craft-style producers like Woody Nelson, EastCann, and Sixty Seven Sins.

🔎 What’s Next?

BudTrendz will be watching mid-market shifts, craft saturation, and reputation volatility in the August report.
