British Columbians have never bought so much legal weed. 

The province’s legal cannabis retailers sold $29,393,000 worth of recreational marijuana products in June – almost seven times the $4,230,000 in revenue that they generated in June, 2019, Statistics Canada revealed August 21.

Everyone has a favourite flavour. Instinctually, each individual knows what that is, be it candy, soda or popsicles.

But that may change with cannabis edibles and beverages, as sales data shows certain flavours rise above the rest when it comes to consumers opening their wallets.
