Context and news

August 2026 was marked by the continued expansion of Quebec's legal cannabis retail network and by a particularly busy month for Canadian cannabis news on the business and regulatory fronts, a context that helps put this month's decline in our own sales tracking into perspective.

What people are talking about: on specialized forums and subforums (r/Quebec, r/TheOCS, r/canadients), this month's discussions mainly focused on the uneven availability of certain products in branches and the recurring stockouts for certain formats. The tightening of access controls and ID verification was also a topic of discussion, as was the perceived price gap between the legal network and the illicit market. The opening of new branches, such as the one in Delson, also drew comments about the network's regional coverage.

Methodology and limitations

The figures come from inventory checks carried out several times a day at 114 of Quebec's legal cannabis stores and on sqdc.ca; a sale is inferred from a drop in inventory, with restocking and anomalies filtered out. These are observed sales, not official data: they may differ from the figures published by the provincial retailer. Retail values are calculated at the listed price. Period covered: from 2026-08-01 to 2026-08-31 (31 days), compared to the previous 31 days. BranchesPro is an independent site, with no affiliation to the provincial retailer or the Quebec government; it does not sell cannabis and does not recommend any product. Restricted to ages 21 and older.
