Top 8 Canadian Cannabis Brands to Follow in 2020

Top 8 Canadian Cannabis Brands to Follow in 2020

Although medical marijuana has been legal in Canada since 2001, the recreational use of cannabis was not permitted by law until 17 years later in October of 2018. After this progressive decision was made, businesses centered around the production and distribution of weed sprung up and flourished throughout Canada. As with any industry, weed brands must maintain a standard of product quality and improve on their customer service to not only rise above the teeming competition, but also win over new customers. Read on to find out what the top 8 Canadian cannabis brands have to offer, and what puts them ahead of the pack.

Sundial

When you take in the clean design of the Sundial website and their simple logo, you’ll quickly be enveloped in serenity. This sense of calm spreads even to the names of their products with options like Zen Berry and Twilight. Sundial is intentionally branded in this way to appeal to their specific demographic which is the health and wellness market. A portion of the Sundial webpage encourages weed users to keep a journal and document their experience with weed. By using this approach and following their community on social media, you’ll be able to customize your cannabis experience and get the most joy from your buds. Sundial is based in Alberta, and its cannabis strains are known to contain high THC levels. While products from this brand may not provide the same “trippiness” as other strains, they can be trusted to produce that happy and calming effect that is typical of Sundial.

Top Leaf

This brand was actually launched by Sundial, who still maintains ownership of it. However, Top Leaf bears no resemblance to its parent company in both its aesthetics and products. Sundial uses blue and white to emphasize peace and calmness while targeting the wellness market. In contrast, Top Leaf is all about luxury cannabis, and its matte black and brown color scheme achieves an exquisite, high-end feeling. As the name of the company suggests, it is undeniably one of the top cannabis brands in Canada, as well as in other parts of the world. Its customers are those who do not mind spending that extra buck to get the very best and most genetically exclusive cultivars. Top Leaf boasts that its cannabis plants are grown by master weed enthusiasts. As stated in their Instagram bio, “Anyone can grow weed, but…we believe in #TheCraftOfCannabis.”

Cove

Cove is famous for being a remarkably diverse weed dispensary in Canada. Whatever your pleasure is, you will most likely find the bud that meets your needs. You can get cannabis oil, dried flowers, vape extracts, and more from Cove. This brand is also home to high quality strains of cannabis. Cove's Rest pre-rolls have a THC level of 16.9% and deliver a soothing experience as advertised. They can be used to relieve pain or to induce feelings of calmness and happiness. If you would much rather feel upbeat and sociable, then you should try out their Revive line. It comes in oil, vape, or flower and has 22% THC and 1% CBD.

Doja

Hand trimming cannabis plants ensures that both the shape of the flower and the quality of the weed are maintained. Doja emphasizes the fact that all their buds are hand trimmed, therefore producing only the highest quality cannabis. If you’re an investor, you might be interested in the philanthropic activities of different cannabis brands. Doja is very public about its intentions to secure pardons for convicts who are serving time for minor cannabis offences. In March of 2019, they petitioned Ottawa to expunge past records of minor drug possession and offer former convicts a clean slate.

Burb

In pop culture, the use of recreational weed is often associated with Rastafarians. As such, when you think of pot, you might think of a man with dreadlocks sporting a crocheted hat with green, red, yellow, and black colors. However, Burb is working hard to change this image and make weed more relatable. With recreational cannabis now legal in Canada, demand for the plant is coming from a more diverse demographic. Suburban parents and young academics alike need cannabis for a variety of reasons, and Burb is making sure that weed is no longer solely associated with any of its former stereotypes. Besides marijuana, they also sell clothes and other accessories that further their message. As Burb CEO John Kaye put it, “We want to sell products...that speak to a new cannabis culture [that is] inspired by our own environment.”

House Plant

You probably enjoy movies starring Seth Rogan, but did you know that you can also enjoy weed from a company that he co-founded? Since the SuperBad star announced in 2019 that he would be launching his cannabis company, the three strains offered by House Plant have been on everyone's lips (no pun intended). Houseplant Sativa, Houseplant Indica, and Houseplant Hybrid are the three strains produced by this company, which is owned by both Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogan. Among their range of products are pre-rolled joints and soft gels.

Tantalus Labs

The growth of cannabis has historically been cultivated indoors, aided by artificial light. Over time, however, the electricity costs start to add up. Weed growers have been challenged to find a cost-effective yet uncompromising alternative. For the innovative minds at Tantalus Labs, the alternative was to return to nature's own energy source for plants: good old sunlight. They designed a sunlab with a transparent roof to utilize sunlight for photosynthesis. The facility is also able to retain and triple filter enough rain water to be used for irrigation all year round. This greenhouse edifice was the first of its kind in North America.

Tweed

One of the most famous Canadian brands, Tweed offers everything from edibles to vapes. They also produce a large variety of cannabis strains. Founded 4 years before the recreational use of pot became legal in Canada, Tweed holds the records for accomplishing many firsts in the marijuana industry. As a North American cannabis company, they beat similar brands in establishing an online marketplace, exporting weed, and becoming publicly listed. Tweed Marijuana Inc. and Bedrocan Canada Inc. merged in 2013 to form the Canopy Growth Corporation, which became the parent company for Tweed and other brands. Today, Tweed has earned its spot as a luxury cannabis brand, and as one of the largest cannabis companies in the world.

Final Words

Now that the Canadian government has legalized the recreational use of cannabis, residents can enjoy their favorite brands of weed with little worry of breaking the law. If you would like to view our list of top rated dispensaries, brands and delivery companies near you visit our homepage here.
