QWEST concentrated 70.07% of sales in Flower in October 2026, where sales fell 17.10% year over year but rose 9.96% month over month, while Pre-Roll held 27.25% share with a 12.72% YoY increase and a 0.44% MoM uptick. Vapor Pens accounted for 2.67% share with a 63.55% YoY decline and a 35.11% MoM drop, and the brand’s average price decreased 25.87% YoY to $27.81. Taken together with a Flower rank of 21 in Saskatchewan, the mix signals a tilt toward value-driven Flower recovery and steady Pre-Roll participation, while retreat in Vapor Pens caps diversification momentum.
The combination of a 9.96% MoM rebound in Flower alongside a 12.72% YoY lift in Pre-Roll suggests QWEST is defending core inhalables while ceding higher-price, lower-share formats, as evidenced by a 63.55% YoY contraction in Vapor Pens and a 35.11% MoM slide. With Flower still at 70.07% share and Pre-Roll at 27.25% amid a 25.87% YoY drop in average price, positioning skews toward accessible premiums rather than breadth, implying that maintaining rank around 21 in Saskatchewan for Flower will depend more on price-pack architecture than on expanding into Vapor Pens in the near term.
Competitive Landscape
QWEST sits at rank #41 in October 2026, improving 21 positions from #62 year over year, but slipping 2 spots from #39 over the past three months and sitting 3 places below its June 2026 peak at #38; meanwhile, Back Forty / Back 40 Cannabis advanced from #2 to #1 as its sales grew 17.4% year over year, and Shred climbed from #3 to #2 with a 26.7% sales increase, indicating QWEST’s rank recovery is outpaced at the top end where leaders are consolidating share. With Spinach sliding from #1 to #4 despite positive 0.3% sales growth and Pure Sunfarms holding #5 while contracting by 14.1%, the combination of QWEST’s 21-place YoY rise and recent 2-spot quarter-over-quarter dip signals momentum that is improving year-on-year but not yet durable enough to hold gains against faster-moving competitors.
Notable Products
QWEST’s October 2026 sales are concentrated, with the top 10 items accounting for 74.4% of brand revenue while 27 products sold overall. Platinum Gas (7g) alone holds 11.3%, so most of QWEST’s sales ride on a short list of core items rather than the long tail.

Data for this report comes from real-time sales reporting by participating cannabis retailers via their point-of-sale systems, which are linked up with Headset’s business intelligence software. Headset’s data is very reliable, as it comes digitally direct from our partner retailers. However, the potential does exist for misreporting in the instance of duplicates, incorrectly classified products, inaccurate entry of products into point-of-sale systems, or even simple human error at the point of purchase. Thus, there is a slight margin of error to consider. Brands listed on this page are ranked in the top twenty within the market and product category by total retail sales volume.
