Top Authors of December 2025

As we wrap up December 2025, the data is in for the most influential voices in the Canadian cannabis community. This month saw a historic shift in leadership. While veteran contributors continue to provide a steady stream of reviews across the country, a new dominant force has emerged, driven by exceptionally high engagement within the OCS community.

Here are the top authors who drove the conversation, shaped sentiment, and kept the community buzzing this past month.

These authors generated the highest overall impact based on our proprietary Trend Score, which combines volume, engagement, and sentiment.

  1. Upstairs-Tea-1769 – Trend Score: 8,206 (21 Posts)
  2. PeteWK67 – Trend Score: 5,692 (22 Posts)
  3. Connect_Pound_4515 – Trend Score: 3,260 (14 Posts)
  4. GUNTHVGK – Trend Score: 2,742 (6 Posts)
  5. p1ngmantoo – Trend Score: 2,726 (6 Posts)

Insight: Both of our top authors are doing a phenomenal job, but the contrast in their strategies this month is fascinating. PeteWK67 (Pete) has been a reliable titan for months, casting a wide net across five different subreddits. However, Upstairs-Tea-1769 managed to beat out Pete’s legendary consistency by focusing strictly on the OCS. With an 84% upvote ratio compared to Pete's 77%, Upstairs-Tea-1769 generated 45% more "Trend" impact with virtually the same post volume.

This raises a question we often ponder at BudTrendz: is the OCS the only cannabis subreddit that truly matters? Looking at this month's data, the sheer density of engagement on that single platform allowed one author to leapfrog the entire field. It suggests that while reach is good, deep community resonance in the OCS is currently the most powerful engine for influence.
