In the Concentrates category, Washington's Hitz Cannabis has shown a promising upward trend. Despite not being in the top 20 brands in July, August, and September 2023, the brand has managed to climb up the ranks, reaching the 18th spot in October.

The sales figures for this period also show a slight upward trend, suggesting that while Hitz Cannabis may not yet be a top player in this category, it is slowly gaining traction.
