Pair Your Strain With the Right Spot

Half the fun of a sunset sesh is the setting. Here are a few ideas for where to catch those good vibes:

• Backyard or patio: Keep it simple with a comfy chair, your favorite tunes, and some moody string lights.
  
• Home Studio or Sunroof: Got a space with natural light and a chill vibe? A sunroom or creative nook can be the perfect spot to vibe out with a vape, journal, or mellow playlist.
  
• Cannabis-Friendly Lounge or Private Venue
  Some private establishments or lounges offer cannabis-friendly indoor spaces with big windows or rooftop access, perfect for catching the sunset in style. (Always check local laws and lounge policies!)

Choosing a Sunset Strain: What to Look For

Sunset strains live in the in-between zone; balanced but not boring. Look for:

• Hybrids with a mellow body feel and a touch of euphoria
  
• Indicas that don’t couch-lock, but offer full-body chill
  
• Terpenes like myrcene, caryophyllene, or limonene for relaxing aromas
  
• Medium THC levels if you want to stay present but relaxed
  
  

If you're not sure what to pick, ask any of our budtenders. Our team’s always happy to help you match your mood to the right strain.

Sunset Sesh Tips

Want to level up your golden hour sesh? Here’s how: Start by prepping before the sun dips. If you’re lighting a pre-roll, sipping a cannabis beverage, or reaching for your favorite vape or glass piece, having everything ready sets the tone. Next, cue up the perfect playlist. Do you feel like listening to mellow and moody or light and dreamy? Music that matches your vibe (and your high) makes the moment feel even more intentional. Don’t forget to snack smart. Go for light bites like fruit, nuts, or something you won’t regret halfway through your high. And finally, stay cozy. A hoodie, blanket, or your favorite soft spot to chill can turn a good sesh into an unforgettable one.
