Nova Scotia Cannabis Sales

Nova Scotia's 317.5% two-year sales surge is among the most dramatic trajectories in Canadian cannabis, built entirely on demand growth rather than store expansion since its 18 dispensaries have not changed in count year over year. The 13.6% year-over-year gain paired with a 12.4% price decline shows consumers are buying more volume at lower price points, a pattern that distinguishes the province from peers where new store openings tend to drive top-line growth.

Vapes exploded with over 1,100% year-over-year growth in Nova Scotia, though from a tiny base that still accounts for just 3.8% of sales, while edibles surged 154% to capture 7.5% of the market. Flower remains dominant at 61.6% share and grew a healthy 56.5%, reinforced by the popularity of accessories like OCB Papers among the province's consumer base. Concentrates, the second-largest category at 23.6%, pulled back sharply with a 43.6% year-over-year decline, suggesting consumers may be shifting spend toward emerging formats like vapes and pre-rolls, the latter of which more than doubled.
