How do you feel about the state of the legal market in 2026?

Happy Canada Day, everyone! Just trying to get a feel on how people are feeling on things. We're approaching 8 years of cannabis being legal in Canada, and I'm curious about a few things.

How do you feel the market is doing? Anything you think could potentially make it better/more accessible/anything else?

I personally feel that we're on the right track, but there's still an overabundance of low-tier garbage with made up percentages flooding the market. Overlooking the occasional "great batch" that mid-tier growers might luck out on, heavy smokers like myself are more or less stuck buying the "premium" (aka high priced) flower to scratch the itch.

I am disheartened at the abysmal profit margins growers are expected to live off of. The government certainly has no issue taxing the ever-loving fuck out of it at every level, but can't be bothered to institute a standardized testing system, method, or testing facility so that the customer isn't being lied to.

Also, a purchase limit of 30g is ridiculous. First of all, it's easily circumvented, I don't need to get into details beyond saying that no minimum wage 22 year old budtender is going to argue with a 40 year old man about whether or not he took the first ounce home before coming back for another. We can go buy as much alcohol as we want, we can buy the entire store out of cigarettes, fuck, we can go gamble away every last penny we have. But for some reason they've imposed limitations on cannabis.

Anyway, rant over I guess. Wasn't expecting this to be quite so negative, but here we are. I'd like to be able to support the legal market entirely, but as it stands now with pricing, purchase limits, inconsistency between batches, etc., I'm finding it impossible for it to fully meet my needs.

Thoughts?

Gas Cream Cake (Luna West) | The Zen Co | June 2026

Ooh baby she's back. Top 5 all time for me, potentially. I fucking love this shit and am making sure to stock up.

Might be the stickiest bud I've had this year. Nevermind kinetic sand, this is like rolling up Play-Doh.

Luna West did this crop justice once again. This is one that I can smoke all day every day for a couple weeks before I even start to get tired of it.

It's aptly named. Dominant fuel/chem terps thenbaked goods, and subtle hints of tropical fruit. One of my absolute favorite terpene profiles. Hectane #2 koolaid pheno x (IceCreamCake X SunsetSherbBX1). Or at least that's what seedfinder says.

Burns beautifully right down to the cork. Thick, mouth-coating smoke. Immediate resin ring, chalk white ash, and turned a Zig Zag silver into wax paper real quick. Flavour is incredible. This one is tied, for me, with Guru's Freshwater Biscotti for best-tasting flower. It's just so good.

Hits like a truck. Right between the eyes. Locked and loaded. Indica dominant but with a euphoric simulation. Definitely zone out weed. Don't try to do anything productive. This review took me an hour and a half. feel like a retread.

Anyway, yeah. It's time for some YouTube, munchies and a nap.

9.7/10

Malibu Marker (Bonzai Boyz) | TheZenCo | June 2026

This shit absolutely destroys me.

I grabbed the tops in a mixed QP as the mediums/smalls were sold out. I'd have to go back and look but I think I previously rated the mediums in the mid- to high-9's. These tops are even better.

Bag appeal is amazing. Buds were mostly 3-4g. No massive buds but I'm totally okay with that. Coated with trichs and sticky just holding a couple nugs by the stems for pictures. The nose is unreal. Not sure if this is the same batch as the last mediums, but out the bag had slightly more rubber/gas terps, which I'm a huge fan of. Some buds were slightly foxtailed and the overall bud structure is really nice.

Burn was white ash with an immediate oil ring. Very lung-expanding smoke, but not harsh in the least. Flavour translation on this is always proper, and this time around is no exception. Gassy up front with a sweet, tropical finish.

The high on this fucks me up every time. Hybrid ratio is on point. Right in the fucking slot. Something like 70/30. I get the munchies like a motherfucker but I'm still functional. It's great social weed, everyone loves the flavour, and it's perfect to smoke at a BBQ before dinner.

This shit is righteous. Can't get enough.

Frost Cannabis - Candy Bones (new batch)

Last batch of this shit was some of the best weed I'd smoked in my life. This stuff is good... But not even on the same tier as the last. No burn pic at the moment, but definitely burns darker. I grabbed two bags so maybe the second will be better but this has definitely gone downhill.

Sad.

Permanent Marker x Gas Drip (Broke Kid Grows) | TheZenCo | June 2026

I've had BKG flower probably a dozen different tones now. When it's good, it's great. When it's not, it's been... pretty bad.

Fortunately, this is good. Really good. Great, even.

Visual appeal is on point, as you can see. Nice large buds with fully formed and unmolested trichs. Nose is gassy and fuel-forward but definitely strong on the Marker terps as well. Very dank.

I will speak on the moisture level for a second. This wasn't wet by any means but moisture levels did seem high. This gives the buds a bit of a squishy/fluffy texture. While I have experienced this with BKG gear before, it's a bit more evident here. I rolled up within an hour or so of getting it just to taste, and the burn was still light gray/white. Skinny ash cause it shrunk substantially when combusted (last pic). Other than that, burnt perfectly. I did end up leaving the jar cracked overnight and the buds did tighten up a bit without losing any terps or potency. Taste translation is good, with a nice gassy flavour and sour back end. Greasy as hell.

The high is immediate and strong. Brain fog, heavy eyes and a strong desire for a nap. Not the longest-lasting but it doesn't fizzle out too quickly. Not that it matters as you'll be either sleeping or elbow deep in a bag of Doritos within the hour anyway.

Outside of the easily-remedied moisture issue which isn't even an issue, this is really nice. Not the best I've had from BKG (that one batch of Violet Fog, anyone?) but still a banger.

Acetone *sample* (Bonzai Boyz | TheZenCo | June 2026

Got this as a sample in a pack. Should be available on the site shortly. Probably not for very long, because it's absolutely amazing.

A cross of Permanent Marker x Candy Fumez, this one has a very pleasant, uplifting and punchy scent out of the bag. Bright lemon terps mixed with fuel and that (at least for me at this point) familiar nose-stinging chemical back end that we all know and love.

Buds are medium-sized, spade-shaped, and absolutely caked with trichs. Pulling them apart to toss in the grinder and I had to go wash my hands before attempting to roll out of fear of the paper sticking. My index fingers and thumbs were almost glued together. Moisture levels were great, as is standard with BB. Rolled up easily.

Burn is great. Damn-near chalk white ash, great oil ring. Flavour is sweet and heavy on the limonene with a delicious piney nuance, but as the joint burns down, more of the fuel notes come through. Ever-present notes of actual acetone waft in and out of the mix. Smoked it right down to the cork and the flavour never dissipated or went sour. It's fantastic.

The high is fucking immense. 10/10 on potency. Heavy heavy indica stone. Sat me the fuck down and kept me there. I shared a joint the size I normally smoke to the face and it absolutely cooked both of us. I can't speak enough on how strong this shit is.

Anxiously waiting for them to drop this so I can clear them out. Everything about this screams quality. The potency is fucking nuts.

Tenzo - Big Smalls - Blue Pavé (14g)

Sorry for the short review and lack of packaging pics but I just wanted to report in and say that this stuff absolutely slaps. Didn't try the tops when Blk Mkt released them, but three smalls are stellar. All well-trimmed with perfect moisture and a super clean burn. Terps are a nice uplifting limonene-infused gas that has fantastic taste translation.

Hits hard. Indica-dom but went perfectly with a long walk on a beautiful hot day, alone, just vibing to tunes.

8.6 overall, I'd rebuy this in a second. Awesome flower, especially at the price.

Dubai Marker > smalls (grown by Bonzai Boyz) - The Zen Co - May 2026

Amazing stuff. Sticky little crystal-coated nugs that absolutely sparkle when broken open. Cure and moisture levels are on point. Rolled up super easy.

Smells like dark chocolate, leather-bound books and rich mahogany. Mixed with fuel and a hint of the unmistakable sour/chemical note from the Permanent Marker. The taste is similar with very "dark" and pungent notes and heavy diesel/fuel notes on the exhale. Super unique terpene profile here.

Burn is perfect. Damn near chalk-white ash and a THICC oil ring.

The high is indica-dominant yet not a knockout or "couch lock." Sits right in that fucking sweet spot that gets me stoned enough to feel good but still able to be functional and interact with society. Hits hard and lasts long.

Big fan of this one. Right up there next to the Malibu Marker. Instant re-buy.
