Thanksgiving Shoppers: Clouds on Clouds vs. A More Discreet Approach

We Hashtagians know how to throw it down. Clouds of smoke. Clouds of vapor. Homemade edibles that come with a warning.

We miss our parties real bad.

And we also know how to keep it discreet. Sometimes, we want to be friendly with others, and yet, we just want to keep our level of intoxication to ourselves.

We don’t want to share, and we don’t want the world to know precisely that we’re high at all. Discretion is often necessary.

With no further ado, allow us to introduce our newest installment in our Thanksgiving Shoppers blog series!

Strains to Keep You Sane During the 2020 Presidential Campaign

Whoa, what a first Presidential Debate, eh? Let me just say, it took A LOT of weed and deep breaths for me to successfully watch the first debate in its entirety.

I wonder how many other people across the United States turned to their wine cellar, beer fridge, bar cart, or cannabis stash while simultaneously thinking, “What the hell … ” My guess is, most of us!

With such intense energy surrounding the upcoming debates and election, cannabis is the perfect companion to keep you sane. If you are feeling like I am -- anxious, angry and confused -- let cannabis take the reins next time around, and I promise these debates will be a little more tolerable to digest.

To prepare for the final presidential debate, I came up with a list of my absolute favorite cannabis strains to keep me calm, cool and collected. So grab your favorite toking device, and let's get ready for the show!

What is CBD and how do you incorporate it into your daily life?

CBD, also known by its scientific name, cannabidiol, has recently found its way into the hearts and bodies of many as its popularity continues to increase due to ongoing consumer education and the proliferation of individuals’ stories of how CBD has helped people's daily routines and overall well being.

In honor of CBD day, August 8th, as well as my curiosity from personal positive experiences with CBD use, I wanted to ask my fellow co workers how they incorporate and use CBD in their lives. We got some pretty neat responses in this week's Hashtag Blog Post, "What is CBD and how do you incorporate it into your daily life?"

Actions Speak Louder

We believe in our shared humanity. And so, our stance on current events that matter to all of us who work for or own Hashtag Cannabis is: Black lives matter. The killing of Black people must stop. The violence against Black people, perpetrated by the police, must stop.

In addition to believing in our shared humanity, we at Hashtag believe that actions speak louder than any of our words.

#How I Hashtag: Meet Adé

The great Adé A. Cônnére is more than a multi-talented artist; she is a force of nature. She is an actress, a singer, a musician, and an activist. Her demure glamour is matched only by her playful sense of humor.

She’s equally at ease turning a jumbo-sized bingo wheel with a smart quip and a loud laugh as she is listening intently, even quietly, to a new friend over pizza.

We photographed Adé at Re-bar where she works as a bartender on March 3, 2020, just after Re-bar celebrated their 30th anniversary. Since 1990, Re-bar has been an icon for underground music, alternative theater, and the LGBTQIA/QTPOC communities of Seattle.

It’s a Hashtag Hash Bash!

Of all the cannabis concentrates and extracts we carry at Hashtag, hashish is the type of extract that we budtenders have personally consumed the least often. With so much popularity surrounding new methods of extracting concentrates and new ways to dab, old fashioned hash has simply taken the back seat.

That all changed last weekend after a few of us at Hashtag decided to get together and experience hash at our Hash Bash!

These stoney treats are not for newcomers to cannabis consumption. They pack a heavy punch of both mind and body, elevating you to the clouds.

Pre rolls are the best on the go treat and one of our favorite ways to consume cannabis. Whether you’re out and about around town, or unwinding after a long day, there’s no need to worry about packing a bowl, because your pre roll is wrapped up and ready to toke!

Pre rolled joints offer a wide selection of growers and strains with all different types of effects and ratios of CBD to THC. I like to think of them as a nice way to explore each strain, like a wine tasting!

Best Concentrates of 2019 in Washington State

From terp sauces to shatter to hash rosin, our budtenders have tried all the waxes we carry. Aroma, texture and effect were all taken into account when picking our favorites.

Best Tinctures of 2019 in Washington State

This is my favorite category of products that we sell at Hashtag! From high CBD, to equal parts of CBD and THC in a 1:1 ratio, and everything in between, tinctures are the way to go for relief any time of day. These easy-to-dose liquids come in a variety of different cannabinoid ratios to fit you and your everyday needs.

In my opinion, tinctures are the most accurate way to micro-dose and ease your way into cannabis consumption. We even have sublingual droppers and sprays for fast and lasting effects!

With such a vast array of tinctures available in the I-502 Washington state market, it can be a bit overwhelming to choose the tincture that’s right for you, but the staff at Hashtag has got you covered. We narrowed down a list of our favorite 5 tinctures of 2019 here in Washington, and here are the tinctures we consider the very best.
