About Buckshot Buds
Buckshot Buds is a high‑potency value flower brand from WILL Cannabis Group, the Brampton, Ontario house of brands behind Terp Town Collective, Fruit Drops, Skunk Pharm and Piff (licence held by 8586985 Canada Corp). Buckshot leans into one clear idea: big THC numbers in a smaller, more affordable “smalls” format. Its indoor‑grown buds carry a hunting‑and‑outdoors theme — think Duck Hunter and Deer in the Headlights — aimed at shoppers who care more about potency and price than perfectly large nugs.

- Best for: Experienced shoppers chasing potency per dollar

Known for
- Strong potency for the price. Listed THC ranges of about 28–32% put Buckshot near the top of the dried‑flower shelf while sitting in a value tier.
- Indoor cultivation. OCS listings describe HPS‑lit indoor growing, hang drying, machine trimming and hand grooming — not outdoor bulk flower.
- Characterful strains. Releases such as Deer in the Headlights (an Animal Cookies x Chem 91 cross) bring diesel‑and‑earth aromas rather than generic genetics.
- Smalls value. The smaller‑bud format trades nug size for a lower price, which appeals to grinder‑and‑roll users.
Format & Use‑Case Chart
| Need | Format | Why Buckshot Buds |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum potency per dollar | Smalls dried flower (28–32% THC) | High THC range at a value price point |
| Flower to grind and roll | Smalls buds | Smaller nugs break down easily for joints or bowls |
| A flavour‑forward indica or sativa pick | Named strain releases | Distinct genetics like Deer in the Headlights and Duck Hunter |
Tips for First‑Timers
- Respect the potency. At roughly 28–32% THC, start with a small amount and wait before adding more.
- Expect smaller buds. “Smalls” means smaller flower pieces by design — that is the trade‑off that keeps the price down.
- Check the strain page. Plant type and terpenes vary by release, so read the OCS listing for each drop before buying.
Buckshot Buds FAQs
What is Buckshot Buds?
Buckshot Buds is a value‑tier, high‑potency dried‑flower brand sold in Ontario. It specialises in indoor‑grown “smalls” — smaller flower pieces offered at a lower price than full‑size nugs.
Who makes Buckshot Buds?
It is produced by WILL Cannabis Group, a Brampton, Ontario house of brands whose licence is held by 8586985 Canada Corp. The same group runs Terp Town Collective, Fruit Drops, Skunk Pharm and Piff.
What products does Buckshot Buds offer?
The lineup seen on OCS centres on dried‑flower smalls, including Duck Hunter Smalls and Deer in the Headlights Smalls. The full active assortment changes over time, so check current OCS listings.
How potent is Buckshot Buds flower?
OCS listings show THC ranges of roughly 28–32% (about 280–320 mg/g) with CBD typically 0–2%. That places it among the higher‑THC dried flower available.
Is Buckshot Buds good value?
The brand is positioned as a value play: the smalls format trades larger bud size for a lower price while keeping the THC numbers high. Exact pricing varies by retailer and was not always listed at time of writing.
What does “smalls” mean?
Smalls are smaller flower buds harvested from the same plants as larger nugs. They are sold at a discount because of their size, not their cannabinoid content, which is why a value brand can still post high THC.
Is Buckshot Buds lab‑tested?
Yes. As federally regulated cannabis sold through the OCS, every batch is lab‑tested for cannabinoid content and contaminants, with THC and CBD ranges printed on each product listing and package.
How is the flower grown?
OCS product details describe indoor cultivation under HPS lighting in a cocoa‑fibre medium, hang dried, then machine trimmed and hand groomed. The flower is Ontario‑grown.
Does Buckshot Buds sell vapes or edibles?
No vapes or edibles were confirmed for the Buckshot Buds brand at the time of writing — the listings reviewed were dried‑flower smalls. 510 vape compatibility is therefore not applicable. Other WILL Cannabis brands cover different formats.
Where can I buy Buckshot Buds?
It is sold through the Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS) and at licensed Ontario retailers. Availability of specific strains depends on current stock.
How should I store the flower?
Keep it in its sealed container in a cool, dark place away from heat and direct light to preserve potency, terpenes and freshness.
Is Buckshot Buds a CBD brand?
No. Buckshot Buds is a high‑THC brand; its flower lists CBD at roughly 0–2%, so it is not a CBD product line.
