If you’re looking for the best craft cannabis in Canada, you’ve come to the right place. With the success of cannabis legalization in Canada, craft cannabis popularity is going mainstream in 2023. You can now score top shelf weed from most cannabis brands in Canada, but with endless options out there, how do you choose the best craft cannabis brand for the best and most potent strains on the market? Fear not, my fellow stoners, I’ve got you covered.
First, it’s important to know what craft cannabis really is so you can seek out true small batch craft weed for the ultimate stoner experience. There are soo many Canadian brands out there who are large producers with smaller labels promoting their craft strains, and I’ve smoked lots of it, its not true craft cannabis, not even close.
I prefer to think of craft cannabis as being the same thing as Super Quads, setting the bar high as the best of the best. This means, when I enjoy an exotic craft strain, and think to myself “this could be a super quad of weed”, then I know its the best craft cannabis. How can a super quad of weed not be a craft strain? It can’t, they are a perfect match gifted to us by a higher power.
In this guide, it’s important to first explain what craft cannabis really is, and the same goes for Super Quads of Weed. Then, I will show the best brands for authentic small batch craft cannabis based on user reviews online, and my experience with the strains. To conclude, I will outline how and where to find the best craft cannabis in Canada, and my pick for the best west coast craft strain I’ve smoked in 2023 so far.

What is Craft Cannabis?
Excerpt from: What is Craft Cannabis? The Canadian Legacy and the Future
Craft cannabis is the best of the best quality cannabis flower that’s cultivated by master growers in small batches. It’s grown in a facility that produces less than 10,000 kg of dried cannabis per year. It’s hand-nurtured to achieve the desired premium traits in exclusive strains. Sometimes it is referred to as artisanal cannabis because it’s grown by legacy growers who have proprietary knowledge and genetics from generations of nurturing their strains.
Super Quads of Weed – What You Need to Know
In the world of cannabis in Canada, “super quads” are a term used to describe some of the strongest, most dank strains of weed available. These strains have extremely high levels of THC, the primary psychoactive compound in marijuana, and are considered to be some of the most potent on the market.
So, what makes a strain a “super quad”? Well, typically, a super quad will have a THC content of between 28% or over, which is significantly higher than the average THC content of most commercial strains, which falls between 15 to 20%.
But it’s not just the high THC levels that make super quads special, proper super quads have an immaculate cure with a complex terpene profile, a superior and dense bud structure, and with trichome coverage that makes the bud look spectacular. These strains are also known for their unique smoothness, aroma, flavor, and hard-hitting effects.

How to Buy the Best Craft Cannabis for you
Do your research: Before you start shopping, do a little soul searching to figure out what you’re looking for. Are you in the mood for some OG Kush or maybe a super quad sativa strain? Talk to your cannabis loving friends and find out what they like the most and why. Knowing what you want will make your shopping experience a whole lot easier.
Check out customer reviews: One of the best ways to find top cannabis brands and strains is to read customer reviews. Look for brands that have high ratings and positive feedback from other stoners. This will give you an idea of the quality and potency of the products they offer. You can search here on Budhub.ca, or check reddit, or any other popular review website.
Look for brands with a focus on quality: When it comes to craft cannabis, quality is everything. Look for brands that take pride in their product and who use only the finest growing techniques. This will be clearly evident because the brand will have beautiful looking flower and they will show it off. Their growing process will be clearly communicated so you get the vibe they are trying to instill – excellence.
Don’t skimp on price: While it may be tempting to go for the cheapest option, in this case, the more you pay, the better quality you get. Remember that craft cannabis at the “super quad” level doesn’t come cheap. Investing in a high-quality brand will ensure that you get a high-quality product every time.
Check out their packaging: The packaging of your craft cannabis is just as important as the product itself in my book. Look for brands who show that they care about keeping their products fresh and secure. Brands that use high-quality, environmentally friendly packaging that minimizes waste.
Conclusion
So, there you have it, folks! By following these tips and suggestions, you’ll be able to find and identify the best craft cannabis brands in Canada for your next smoking session. Happy toking!
