Sativa, Indica or Hybrid: What’s Most Popular in Vancouver?

Indica appears to be the most popular choice for dried cannabis flower in Vancouver, based on the latest B.C. sales data. In FY2026 Q1, Indica accounted for 52.8% of dried-flower sales, compared with 31.3% for Sativa and 15.6% for Hybrid.

For pre-rolls, the picture is much closer, with Indica representing 40.5% of sales and Sativa 39.0%, while Hybrid accounted for 12.6%.

A Quick Comparison

For dried flower, Indica currently leads by a substantial margin in B.C. wholesale sales.

According to the FY2026 Q1 data:

The underlying sales figures tell the same story. Indica generated about $21.68 million in quarterly dried-flower wholesale sales, compared with approximately $12.87 million for Sativa and $6.41 million for Hybrid.

So if “more popular” means which category sells the most dried flower, Indica is the clearest answer from the latest available provincial data.

That does not mean Indica is automatically the most appropriate choice for every consumer. Sales popularity and individual preference are two different things.

Does the Answer Change for Pre-Rolls?

Yes, and this is where the data gets more interesting.

Indica still led B.C. pre-roll sales in FY2026 Q1, but only slightly:

For pre-rolls, Indica and Sativa were nearly tied. By grams sold, the difference was even narrower, with Indica at 39.2% and Sativa at 38.7%.

This is why it is better to ask what is popular within a particular cannabis format rather than assume one category dominates every kind of product.

For flowers, the current B.C. data clearly favours Indica. For pre-rolls, consumer purchasing is much more evenly split between Indica and Sativa.

What Should You Compare Besides Popularity?

A category being popular does not necessarily make it the right way to choose a product.

Health Canada requires legal cannabis labels to provide THC and CBD information, and explains that THC is the main cannabinoid responsible for intoxication while CBD does not produce the same intoxicating high.

When comparing products, useful information includes:

• THC and CBD content
• product format, such as flower or pre-rolls
• other available cannabinoid information
• product-specific information rather than the category label alone

This matters because two products carrying the same broad Sativa, Indica or Hybrid label can still differ considerably.

So the B.C. popularity figures are useful for understanding market behaviour, but they should not replace the information shown on the individual product.
