The Top 10 Best-Selling Flower Strains in California in 2024

There’s a repeat champion with 37% of consumers saying California’s most popular cannabis cultivar helps with stress.
Blue Dream Cannabis Flower -
December 30, 2024

Blue Dream is the back-to-back champion as the most popular cannabis cultivar in California.

With Northern California roots, this cross between Blueberry and Haze is a sativa-dominant hybrid known for producing a balanced high of cerebral stimulation and full-body relaxation that 37% of people say helps relieve stress, according to Leafly.

As the No. 1 best-selling flower strain in California in 2024, Blue Dream commanded $25.9 million in sales between January and November, besting the likes of fellow consumer favorites OG #18 ($16.9 million), Gelato ($16 million) and Wedding Cake ($15.7 million), according to cannabis data-driven tech company Headset.

Blue Dream also took the best-selling flower crown in 2023 after coming in the No. 4 spot in 2022.

As this year’s runner-up, OG #18 is a newcomer to California’s best-selling flower strains. Also known as “Private Reserve” or “Reserve OG,” this hybrid is a phenotype of OG Kush and a two-time High Times Cannabis Cup winner in 2009 and 2010, according to Leafly.

Meanwhile, Gelato, Wedding Cake and Biscotti are back in the top 10 for the third straight year.

As champion, however, Blue Dream wasn’t just California’s best seller for flower; it also took the top spots with $27.4 million in pre-roll sales and $44.5 million in vapor pens sales this year, according to Headset.

Blue Dream and Gelato were the only two cannabis cultivars in the top 10 best-selling lists for the flower, pre-roll and vapor pen categories, and they were also among the top 10 best-selling concentrate strains.

However, according to Headset, D Cure was the No. 1 best-selling concentrate strain overall in California, with $3.8 million in sales this year.

D Cure is a cross between Chemdog and Gage Green Group’s Grape Stomper that creates a strain “with a loud and delicious terpene profile,” including myrcene, limonene and caryophyllene, for a relaxing effect that is widely said to help with inflammation, pain and arthritis, according to Leafly.

Here’s how the top 10 list for California’s best-selling concentrate cultivars played out in 2024:

Ahhhh the wonders of BadKats capsules are the carryover from the previous day's double dose. Back to my usual single cap when I got up, but this feels a lot more like all of yesterday did with me walking on cloud-9 all day with very minimal inhalation to keep me right at that razor edge of almost too much.

UncaWalt really needs to start making this as you get so much more punch from what wouldn't even make a good toke from.
Eaten Cannabis is converted by the enzymes in the Liver from Delta-9-THC into the far stronger and longer lasting 11-hydroxy-THC metabolite. 5x stronger and 10x longer lasting plus we can dial this up even more with some liposomal encapsulation by adding a high ratio of liquid lecithin as a part of the oil when we infuse.

Decarb 240 F for 40 minutes
1 gram of bud dust or Hash or RSO or BHO or.....
2 ml/g Coconut oil (1/4 teaspoon)
2 ml/g Liquid lecithin (1/4 teaspoon)
Heat 220 F for 10-20 minutes.

Unc start with no more than 5 drops of unstrained paste if bud dust (5mg) Half an uncooked rice grain. You don't need to make a whole gram worth as we are just making a tiny mud pie. Butter works but takes twice as long to kick in.
Decarb dry weed
Mix with oil making paste
Heat paste
It really is that simple.


God luv yer bones, @BrassNwood , but I would not dare. There are certain things I know I cannot do that I would have jumped at doing a dozen years ago. Alas, I can just read about it now with you guys.

"A man's got to know his limitations." <-- Says 93-year old Clint.

I might put it in the same category of multiple sex partners. Having "known" only one woman, I have wondered about what others would be like. Those who have so indulged tell me it is less meaningful.

Lastly, the Sneakydicker Technique coupled with the generosity of UNO who's leaves me high as an eagle's fart.

OH WAIT -- While we are on the subject of astronomy -- run outside and look up: You will see Mars in the east followed by Saturn, Jupiter, and a very bright Venus westerly

After checking - Edoxaban is prescribed to those of us that have had heart valve surgery and have AFIB - Eliquis for nonvalvular AFIB Wolfie - and I haven't experienced any side effects from Edoxaban - in the 8-9 months I've been taking it - so far so good -
Good that you have something that works brother and to live in an age where it is available!

I'm a pilot. We will start with the iron-clad conclusion, and then go back:

It was 100% copter pilot fault. Not necessarily error.** The hierarchy of in-air Right-Of-Way is:

1. Balloons
2. Fixed-Wing Aircraft
3. Anything Else
4. Helicopters

The above is based on ability to move with control. Helicopters don't even have to move while in flight if they do not want to.

** To my personal knowledge, GI chopper pilots are rated the lowest on the scale of professional behavior of any kind of pilot. My own experience aside -- I just thought of famous instance you might have seen or could easily find:

Remember that video short of the copter pilot fooling around and accidentally dunking the tail of his aircraft into the river? Damn' near didn't get away. Oh... and that one was filmed. So no other a-hole did the same trick off-camera? Ever?

You know he has dined out on that one ever since, right? Would an airline pilot do that... ever? Your call.
As a fellow pilot that was my first thought and my second was what were they doing in controlled airspace.

I had to put down my best friend of 13 years last night, the quality of his life deteriorated drastically in the last week. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. My young pup Ivan has seemingly grown up overnight and has taken on the task of being the big boy of the house. I was blessed to have touch and just as blessed to have found Ivan. I went out and had coffee at Dutch’s gravesite with Ivan this morning, and I lost it when he laid down on top of the grave and rested his head. This is his last picture , two of the greatest companions I’ve ever had in my life… I had a friend that offered to do an oil portrait of Dutch when he was in his prime, and I have this on my wall in my living room . it’s probably my most prized possession.

I am so very sorry. My eyes are all teary for you/Dutch as I type. He was beautiful.

Good morning brothers and sisters!

A rainy day here starting at 37F and predicted to reach 50F.

My new ergonomic keyboard arrived and I immediately hate it. My last one was smaller than my favorite one that Melissa wiped out first and this one is smaller yet, which is a problem for me touch typing with my extra large hands. The first two were Microsoft and this one is a Reccazr that is made in China, ostensibly for folks with small hands. Back to the search.................

The heart arrhythmia machine that I ordered arrived, that I was looking forward to having definitive measurements from, and alas it reads "possible arrhythmia."

The former Skunk Pharm Research student that wrote the glowing appreciation letter that I shared, is scheduled to visit this afternoon for laughing and scratching, as well as tea and crumpets. He was one of our students that took what we taught him and set up a successful cannabis related business, which he just sold to the big boys and is ostensibly now in a position to retire while he is still young and pretty to look at.

I guess that answers the question about airspace............
I ran that a coupla times... Crossing a flight path of a landing airliner that is at a low altitude and heading toward an active runway... I gotta see cowboy complacency.

The airliner was the one without choice; a passenger plane carrying many souls on a path it literally could not deviate from. <-- Versus a craft that could stop... if the pilot was properly alert.

Good morning friends 😊
warming up today but we have rain. I will be spending most of the day in the hospital waiting room, for my SIL’s kidney surgery. She has cancer in her kidney and is having it removed. No sign so far as it moving into other areas of her body so that’s good news for now.
I’ll prolly check in later from the waiting room. First gotta get Arlo to do his business in the rain.
Hope everyone has a sweet day ✌️🥰
