🌱 What Is 4/20 and Why Do We Celebrate It at SoL?
April 20th, better known as 4/20, is more than just a date. It’s a cultural moment that brings together cannabis enthusiasts, curious newcomers, and community-minded individuals alike. 4/20 has evolved into a global celebration of cannabis culture, rooted in community and curiosity. What started as a grassroots movement to push for legalization, with a nod to the time 4:20, when a group of 5 young men named “the Waldos” would meet during the 1970s. The slang term gained popularity once it spread to the Grateful Dead’s tour. At SoL Cannabis in Washoe Valley, we believe 4/20 is about more than products. It’s about connection, education, and intentional enjoyment. Today, it’s an opportunity to:
- Discover new products and strains
- Learn about cannabinoids, terpenes, and effects
- Connect with like-minded people
- Support the only local, vertically-integrated facility
At SoL, we honor 4/20 by creating a space that feels welcoming, elevated, and informative.

💡 Tips for a Better Cannabis Experience this 4/20
Whether you’re visiting us or celebrating at home, here are a few tips to elevate your day:
1. Start Low, Go Slow
Especially if you’re trying something new, begin with a low dose and build gradually. We produce our own strain-specific
2. Stay Hydrated & Nourished
Water and snacks go a long way in keeping your experience balanced and enjoyable. Don’t forget edibles can give you cotton mouth too!
3. Choose the Right Setting
Set and setting can make or break your experience. Make sure you’re somewhere comfortable if trying a product or strain for the first time.
4. Explore Terpenes
Terpenes influence how cannabis feels. For example:
- Limonene → uplifting and great for depression
- Myrcene → relaxing and great for pain management and that heavy “couch lock” feeling
- Pinene → focused but can exacerbate anxiety
Understanding these can help you dial in your ideal experience. Ask your budtender to show you our terpene sheet for flower, cartridges, and concentrates!
