Ever wonder what your favorite budtenders are buying for their own stash?

Wonder no longer! Here’s what this month’s chosen budtenders are smoking, dabbing, and eating these days.

The Washington State Liquor Cannabis Control Board (LCB) Enforcement and Education staff have identified a pattern of pesticide testing failures that point to product contamination (in both cannabis & other agricultural products) in a specific region of Okanogan County, with detectable levels of dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) exceeding action levels in many products.

We want to assure you that we are taking this issue seriously and have been in contact with our partners to investigate whether any of our products are affected. As of now, we have not received any reports of contamination from our partners, but we are continuing to monitor the situation closely. 

Have you ever spent the day exploring Fremont, a neighborhood in Seattle, Washington? In this blog, I will be telling you about our favorite places to visit in the Fremont neighborhood. First off, I wanted to start with a fun fact that not many people know about Fremont.

Stoners near and far have heard of the very famous, ever elusive and rare strain, Panama Red. This classic, old-school cannabis strain is a pure, landrace sativa. It rose to acclaim in the late 1960’s thanks to its speedy and intense effects, bordering on the psychedelic. Its name comes from the fact that it originated from hot, humid, and tropical Panama. 

The Floret Coalition is a collective of cannabis and cannabis-related businesses who believe that we have a responsibility to give back to the communities harmed most by the war on drugs. Floret was formed in September 2020. Since 2020, our 100+ members collectively donated $270k to organizations serving Black, Latine, and Indigenous communities.

Lifted Cannabis got their start in Washington’s medical market days. Through many years and dedication to their craft, they have gained an incredible reputation for procuring some of the finest cannabis and cannabis products that Washington state has to offer.

Colorless, translucent, odorless, pure and potent distilled cannabis oil. This is what many individuals seek in a vapor cartridge. Clear vape cartridges are highly requested as many associate the lack of color with higher quality or potency. While this may be somewhat true for distillate, specifically, as one determining factor of quality, color is never going to be the end all be all determining factor in the subjective quality of any concentrated cannabis oil. In fact, producing completely clear, colorless distillate is hard to achieve. Distillation is labor intensive and time consuming.

Let’s talk terps! This round we are featuring Humulene. Remember, there are around 20,000 different terpenes that have been identified in nature. Over 200 of these can be found specifically in cannabis. Of these 200, very few are found in amounts significant enough to meaningfully contribute to any specific cannabis cultivar’s aromas or overall effects upon consumption. All terpenes originating from cannabis, including humulene, are formed within the glandular trichomes on the exterior of cannabis flowers and associated leaves.

If you are new to cannabis or are just looking to dip your toes into using cannabis after a break, consuming less cannabis can be a far better choice than consuming more. This tactic, called “microdosing,” is a growing trend as cannabis consumption becomes more widespread and socially accepted. But what is microdosing? How does it work? And why could it be right for you?

Throughout time, cannabis has and still remains to be a popular and essential therapeutic for people across the globe.

Not only did ancient people use cannabis to get high, cannabis also has a long history of use as a fiber, a food, and a medicine dating as far back as 5,000 years ago in Asia (Don’t believe us? Then check out our previous blog about it!).

But how did cannabis come to be used in the Western world?

These days, there are so many options when picking out a cartridge that sometimes it can be overwhelming to decide which one is the best for you.

I have written this blog to help you narrow down which cartridge might be the best option for the experience that you are looking for--but first, let me introduce myself. My name is Keivan, and I have been in the cannabis industry for four years and have been an Assistant Manager at Hashtag for the past two.

I buy cartridges often and help guide folks through the process of picking one out in stores on a regular basis.

Like many palliative or medical products, cannabis too can spur some adverse reactions. But don’t panic!
