Hot Canadian Cannabis Products for the Weekend of August 22 2025
This week’s analysis of Canadian cannabis trends comes from scraping six of the most active cannabis subreddits and running the data through AI to extract sentiment. Our trend score combines upvotes, downvotes, and comments to measure how much attention each product has received. Products make this list not only for positive sentiment (🔥) but also for negative sentiment (💩). Neutral sentiment is shown by the double arrow emoji (↔️).
We also sum trend scores by brand and display those scores on BudTrendz, giving you a live view of which brands are hot in any four-hour period. To give context, if a brand has both a 💩 and a 🔥 they are getting mixed reviews, while multiple 🔥🔥🔥🔥 show a very strong reception.
For this week, 10 brands were reviewed across 26 trending products, with 11 unique reviewers providing their takes. Here’s the breakdown of what’s hot (and what’s not) going into the weekend of August 22, 2025.
