In the three months since cannabis was legalized across the country, Canadians have only just begun wading into the evergrowing options of legal bud available.
And, while Canadians have shown high interest in strains like Pink Kush, Blue Dream, and White Widow since the very beginning, the tastes and preferences of cannabis consumers continue to evolve. Here are the strains that Canadians are most curious about according to Leafly searches in the first three months of legalization.Browse Canadian Cannabis Products on Leafly
Gorilla Glue
This hybrid strain has captured the curiosity of Canadians, but being a proprietary name means that on Leafly, you’ll find Gorilla Glue listed as Original Glue (GG4), or related phenotypes, New Glue (GG5) or Sister Glue (GG1). As its name suggests, the Glue family of strains delivers heavy-handed euphoria and relaxation that’s often equated to feeling “glued” to the couch.

Canadians interest in Pink Kush has hardly waned. The indica-dominant hybrid has been a top-searched strain since the very first month of legalization and remains popular for its potent body-focused effects and bright green buds that smell like sweet vanilla and candy perfume. The potency of this strain could be considered overpowering, and often small doses are all you need.
