Hot Canadian Cannabis Products for the Weekend of January 16, 2026
As we head into the weekend of Friday January 16 through Sunday January 18, 2026, we’re taking a fresh look at which Canadian cannabis brands are getting the most attention right now.
The data below is sourced from scraping six popular cannabis subreddits and analyzing the conversations with AI to extract sentiment. Upvotes, downvotes, and comments are used to calculate a trend score, which measures how much attention a product is receiving. Brands land on this list for both good and bad sentiment — strong praise can push a brand up just as quickly as strong criticism.
We sum the trend score by brand and display those brands on Bud Trendz, where you can see what’s hot in any four-hour period. We use 🔥 for positive reviews and 💩 for negative reviews, while neutral sentiment is shown with the double-arrow emoji. If a brand has a mix — say one 🔥 and one 💩 — it means they’re getting mixed reviews. Four 🔥 is a clear sign that a brand is on a serious run. We repeat this process every week to keep things current.
Here’s what’s trending going into the weekend.
