A Year in Review: 2024

Hey folks! Another year has fallen like sand through an hourglass leaving us staring down the barrel of the tantalizing potential of the future. 2024 was not…the best year for most people I know, so there seems to be an air of anticipation regarding 2025 in the sense that it will either be a vast improvement or another grievous tumble down the proverbial stairs of life. I for one have my fingers crossed.

                Speaking of the last 365 days, this seems like as good a time as any to take a look back at the year that has come and gone, with an eye towards cannabis of course. While in previous years I’ve rounded up the best products according to us, your humble budtenders and keyholders of Circa 1818, I thought this year deserved something special. So, for this edition of A Year in Review, we’ll be running through a highlight of the cannabis products that you, our customers and fine neighbors, have found the most appealing based on feedback and some hard stats. So, shake off that winter blues and let’s take a look at the top selling products here at Circa for the year 2024!

Your Top Five

                I’m not going to bother listing these in order of popularity because, honestly, we sell a lot of these items and big numbers scare me. So instead, in no particular order, here are the top five:

General Admission: Tiger Blood Infused Pre-Rolls

                This isn’t terribly shocking. People absolutely love the fruity, coconutty flavour and effects from this hard hitting indica pre roll infused with distillate and kief. This was one of their first infused joint drops and instantly won people over. In a market that is absolutely full to the proverbial brim with infused pre-rolls, it’s impressive that the Tiger Blood has managed to stay in the running.

Pearls: Literally all of them

                Pearls have dominated our edible sales pretty much from the start. There isn’t a flavour that hasn’t flown off the shelf, with each one bringing something a little different in terms of effect and taste. Need help sleeping? Pearls has you covered with several varieties of gummies that contain CBN as well as THC to help you ease off to sleep. Anxiety making your life a constant howling nightmare from which you fear you’ll never wake? Welcome to the club, and may I introduce you to the Pearls that contain CBG, which has been shown to help regulate gut health as well as reduce anxiety. As an added bonus most of the Pearls varieties come in five packs with each gummy containing 2mg of THC, making it easy to control your dose

Back Forty: Wedding Pie Pre-Rolls

                Back Forty are the absolute champs of the ten pack, cigarette style pre-roll. Their cost is incredibly low for the quality of the strain that you’re getting your hands on and of all of them, Wedding Pie has proven the most popular, especially among the indica lovers and cake strain fans out there. Perfect for a quick, effective joint experience, this makes the Back Forty joints ideal for Canadian winter: Where standing outside to smoke a joint may result in frostbite.

Spinach Feelz: Deep Dreamz

                Products that help alleviate issues with sleeping make up a pretty gargantuan sum of the cannabis items we sell, and with good reason. We all know a good night’s sleep can be the difference between a good day and the worst day imaginable, and cannabis has proven to be an effective method for achieving that sweet, sweet slumber. Out of all of the myriad products we have that can help with sleep, the Deep Dreamz by spinach have proven to be one of the most popular due to their great flavour and effective dose of THC and CBN.

Ray’s: Original Lemonade

                Last but certainly not least, this deliciously sumptuous lemonade is the best lemonade I’ve had outside of the stuff my grandfather used to make fresh from the lemons he grew in his garden. It’s so good that when people come looking for it and we don’t have it, you can actually watch their mood fall in real time. Coming in with 10mg of THC and a taste that will knock your socks off, take them to the cleaner and then return them to you folded, these beverages are always a hot item.
