It’s nearly Christmas in April—for stoners—and it will most certainly be a green one. For retailers across Saskatchewan and the world, April 20th, aka 420, is the biggest day in cannabis retail, and it’s blazing toward us quicker than you can say pass the joint.

Stocking the right products (and lots of them) is key to making the most of this high holiday. From heavy-hitting flower to flavourful vapes, the right lineup can turn your store into the hub for 420 in your area. Whether your customers want to elevate their celebration or simply take advantage of the deals, these are our top five must-haves to create the ultimate 420 experience.

First up is EastCann Chopper’s Pick 28g 👌🏼, featuring premium craft strains you’d expect to find only in the legacy market. This is a line of curated strains selected by the founder himself in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The Weed Pool team and our members have been impressed by the consistent quality of the strains so far.

Jonny Chronic Blueberry Kush 510 and AIO 🫐 is an Indica-dominant option ideal for straight chillin’ on 420. With THC levels between 88% and 94%, it offers a potent experience. The cartridge combines THC distillate with botanical terpenes, primarily myrcene, caryophyllene, and terpinolene, resulting in a sweet berry aroma. Co-op members have noted its smooth draw and flavorful profile, though experiences with potency may vary.

The O’Neill Family behind the Jonny Chronic brand has a history of cultivating crops in the Thorndale, Ontario area dating back over 170 years. Their 20,000 sq ft facility is located at the former Lesboro Elementary school, which was shut down in 2009. They cultivate a unique genetics library with 139+ Health Canada-registered strains!

Saskatchewan’s North 40 is so hot right now. Their classic favourite—El Gordo 🧑🏻🌾—crosses Sour Diesel x Lemon OG with Chemdawg x The White to create a high THC experience at a low price. It will have you soaring with notes of citrus, mint, gas, and wood. Those on our team who have tried it praise its potency and aroma, noting its “stinky, sticky, pliable nature” and describing the buzz as “full body but with a sativa eye sweat.” If you can’t tell, we absolutely love this one and its namesake happens to be one of our favourite people too—Gord, the head grower at North 40!

Eat your greens, or better yet, smoke ‘em. Spinach’s brand new Stix GMO Cookies pre-rolls (10×0.4g) 🥬 are brand new cigarette-style pre-rolls for those customers looking for style points. GMO Cookies has an unmistakable sweet and savoury taste and is a popular Indica strain. With strain lineage traced back to Chemdawg and GSC, this pre-roll delivers on powered-up potency and undeniably delicious flavours. This is a solid option for consumers who want a budget-friendly, consistent smoke.

Go for the long haul with Sticky Greens’ Trippy Sips, a lineup of all-in-one vapes that last longer than most. Our Procurement Specialist, Julie Vickaryous, especially likes the Kool Grape Gulps 🍇, giving it “bonus points for tasting like a melted popsicle.” She also notes that this discreet, juice-box-shaped vape is perfect for daytime rips due to its THC:CBG:CBD formulation.

Sticky Greens is a Saskatchewan-based brand producing some of the best vapes on the market, infusing flavours we never thought possible in a cannabis product. They use a supercritical CO2 extraction and winterization along with a “Double Decarb” process, resulting in a highly potent distillate that is consistently smooth.

420 is faaarr ouuuutt, man. But it’s not that far out, man! As our favourite (and most important) holiday draws closer, it’s important to stock your shelves with a wide variety of products to satisfy the cravings of seasoned connoisseurs to consumers who may be celebrating 420 for the first time. From EastCann’s premium Chopper’s Pick to Sticky Green’s attention-grabbing Trippy Sips, having the right product lineup can make all the difference in maximizing your sales and keeping customers coming back.
