Where does the best weed in Canada come from?
Marijuana was legalized in Canada in October 2018. Since that date the number of legal cannabis-growers has increased exponentially but the province of British Columbia (or BC) cultivated huge amounts of cannabis plants before that.
BC is Canada's westernmost province, located between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. With 357,000 square miles of land, BC has a population of around 5.1 million people. Victoria is the capital of the province but Vancouver is the largest city. It is said that before weed was legal in Canada, there were around 20,000 grow-ops in British Columbia, so imagine how many we can find now that growing cannabis is legal.
In the 1960s, during the Vietnam war, the conscientious draft objectors (mainly the ones called “hippies”), decided to leave the United States rather than be forced to join the army. Approximately 30,000 Americans emigrated to British Columbia. Some of these immigrants brought weed seeds to this region which was just starting to see Marijuana growers. These extra seeds brought from the United States were a big boost for the illegal cannabis industry in BC.
This was just the beginning so why did BC become one of the leading regions in production of cannabis? This can be explained by two factors: weather and topography. The abundance of sunshine and rainfall in BC makes it a great place to grow Marijuana. The mean temperature of crowded areas is 54 degrees Fahrenheit which is perfect for growing marijuana outdoors.
Furthermore, the region’s topography, full of hills and dense forests, made it a perfect spot for illegal growers to hide their plantations when cannabis plants were still illegal. Indoor growing is also common in BC due to the cheap and clean energy that is produced in the region using hydropower sources.

However, the herb also provides some euphoric effects. All in all, anyone in need of a powerful yet blissful experience will love Gorilla Glue.

OG Kush
One of the best cannabis strains in North America, OG Kush epitomizes the philosophy of Californian cannabis. It has become one of the main alternatives for breeding, thanks to its proven quality and potency.

OG Kush is known for its potency and complex aroma and flavor profiles. We are talking about very original and attractive aromas, with earthy, pine, diesel, spicy and citrus touches. It typically produces between 19-25% THC with up to 0.3% CBD, so its cerebral effects are felt immediately with a pleasant body stone and great euphoria.

Watermelon Zkittlez
This sativa is highly regarded for its unusual sweet and juicy watermelon flavor, fruity aroma, and upbeat, energizing effect. It causes a pleasant state of euphoria by gently relaxing the muscles and dispelling negative thoughts, but at the same time allows you to concentrate on a task with more energy and motivation.
It is ideal for social or artistic activities and its medicinal properties are used to treat depression or post-traumatic stress. It is highly recommended for cannabis extracts due to its spectacular resin production and its richness in terpenes.
Grandaddy Purple
