Father’s Day is this Sunday.
If you haven’t figured out what to get Dad yet, no judgment. He probably said he “doesn’t need anything” anyway, which is both unhelpful and extremely on brand. Classic Dad move — refuse to want things, then act surprised when nobody knows what to get him.
But “nothing” isn’t really a vibe, and another coffee mug probably isn’t going to save the day. We’ve all seen how that lands.
The good news: if you’re looking for Father’s Day cannabis gifts in Vallejo, VRC has you covered. Seasoned smoker, total newbie, or somewhere in between, there’s something in the shop with his name on it. In some cases… literally.
Let’s make this easy. Find your dad. Grab his gift. Done.
The OG Dad: Papa’s Herb Vape Cart 🌿
He’s been around long enough to know what he likes. Decades of opinions, zero interest in changing them, and at least one strain he’ll insist was better “back in the day” despite having no way to prove it. You’re not going to explain sativa vs indica to this man. He was smoking before you knew what either word meant.
Papa’s Herb carts fit right into that lane. Flavorful, consistent, easy to use — good smoke without the production. VRC’s got a strong lineup right now too: Grand Daddy Purp, Blue Dream, OG Kush. All 1G, all 510 thread, all ready to go.
And yes, Papa’s Herb for Papa. Some Father’s Day gifts practically pick themselves.
If he’s torn between them, the budtenders will steer him right. But honestly, half the fun is watching him “browse” like he hasn’t already made up his mind since the parking lot.
The move: Let him pick his flavor in-store. He’ll take his time, weigh his options very seriously, and act like it was a tough call. It wasn’t.
The Outdoor Dad: Sluggers Pre-Roll 🏕️
This dad is always in motion. Hiking, fishing, fixing something in the yard that absolutely did not need fixing. There will also be at least one moment where he refuses help carrying something unnecessarily heavy and then takes a suspicious amount of time “resting” afterward.
He doesn’t want a production. He wants something he can grab and go. Preferably while reminding everyone he was ready twenty minutes ago.
Sluggers pre-rolls are exactly that. Already rolled, already packed, and ready before Dad has a chance to turn it into a project. Hand him one and watch him light up — no pun intended.
Zero prep required. Perfect for the trail, the campsite, or just the backyard once everyone finally sits down for five minutes and stops asking him questions.
And if your dad is more of a Tyson 2.0 guy, we’ve got that too. Because some dads just hit different.
The move: Grab a couple. He’ll share one and save one for later. Then forget where he put it, spend twenty minutes looking for it, and insist somebody moved it.
The Cookout Dad: Not Your Father’s Root Beer ☀️
Okay. The name. We had to.
Featuring Not Your Father’s Root Beer in a Father’s Day gift guide feels almost too easy, but here we are. Some gifts require a whole speech. A root beer hands itself over.
Not Your Father’s Root Beer has that familiar, nostalgic flavor with live resin infusion built in. Cold, easy, and completely at home next to a grill while Dad explains, for the third year running, the “correct” way to flip a burger. Nobody has asked and he will explain anyway. In fact, asking him not to explain might make the presentation longer.
Budtender Lil DaVinci has been recommending this one all month, and it’s easy to see why. It fits exactly the kind of slow, nothing-on-the-schedule Sunday Father’s Day is supposed to be.
Not a root beer fan? The lineup also includes Orange Cream, Fruit Punch, and Alpine Splash, so there’s a flavor for just about every kind of dad — including the one who insists he “doesn’t really have a preference” and then immediately has a preference.
If you want to build out the cooler, VRC’s cannabis drinks lineup has options across the board. And if you want the Root Beer specifically, swing by the store while supplies last.
The move: Pick the flavor that sounds most like your dad. Or grab a few and let him conduct an extremely serious taste test that he will absolutely rank out loud.
The “Okay Fine, I’ll Try It” Dad: Papa & Barkley Gummies 🍬
This dad has been “thinking about it” for approximately two years. Every six months he asks another question, nods thoughtfully, and somehow resets the clock. He’s curious. Open-minded. Fully committed to the research phase indefinitely.
This is where you want to keep it simple.
Handing someone brand new something too strong is a fast way to ruin the moment and guarantee a very dramatic “never again” speech that gets brought up at every family gathering for the next decade.
Papa & Barkley gummies were basically made for this dad. Low-dose, easy to enjoy, and available in a few different options — Releaf Strawberry, Recover Pear Apple, and Sleep Releaf Berry — so you can pick based on what fits him best. The hardest part might be convincing him that “give it some time” is actually good advice and not a personal attack on his patience.
The move: Include a note that says “start with one.” He won’t listen, but at least you tried.
The “He Knows What He’s Doing” Dad: St. Ides Cherry Bomb Syrup 🍒
This one isn’t for beginners. At all.
This is for the dad who has been in the game long enough to have opinions about it. The one who doesn’t need instructions, doesn’t need the backstory, and would find the “start with one” note mildly offensive.
St. Ides Cherry Bomb is a cannabis syrup meant to be mixed into drinks — lemonade, soda, whatever sounds good. Sweet, smooth, and genuinely great as a summer mocktail base. One of our budtenders keeps casually recommending it like it’s not already his personal summer favorite. The cherry lemonade combo has been quietly taking over the store. Not that anyone’s keeping score. They absolutely are.
It’s a strong one and best saved for the dad who already knows his way around.
The move: Mix it into a lemonade, hand it to him, and let him tell the same story you’ve heard six times before. Father’s Day wouldn’t be complete without it.
Still Not Sure Which One Is Your Dad?
That’s what our budtenders are for. They’ve seen every version of Dad there is, including the one who swears he’s “just looking” and spends forty-five minutes asking questions.
