Quick Answer: Many people prefer cannabis edibles over smoking or vaping because they’re discreet, smoke-free, longer-lasting (6–8 hours), and easy to dose. Edibles are great for pain, sleep, or stress relief and allow for microdosing with precise THC levels. At Hashtag Redmond, all edibles are Hashtag Certified for quality, safety, and effectiveness.
Cannabis comes in many forms, but edibles hold a special place for both new and experienced consumers.
At Hashtag Redmond, we see many guests reaching for gummies, chocolates, or beverages instead of flower or vapes.
So why do so many people prefer edibles?

Discreet and Convenient
Unlike smoking or vaping, edibles don’t produce smoke, vapor, or odor.
This makes them a discreet option for those who want to enjoy cannabis without drawing attention.
A gummy or mint can fit seamlessly into daily life—no lighter, no gear, just simple and portable.

Longer-Lasting Relief
For many, edibles are about time.
When digested, cannabinoids are metabolized differently, creating a slower onset but a much longer duration of effects—often 6 to 8 hours.
That extended relief is especially appealing for managing pain, insomnia, or anxiety through the day or night without frequent re-dosing.

A Smoother Experience
Some people avoid smoking or vaping due to concerns about lung health or because inhalation just doesn’t appeal to them.
Edibles offer a smoke-free alternative that feels gentler on the body while still delivering potent effects.

Controlled Dosing
Modern edibles come in precise doses—often starting at just 2.5 to 5 mg of THC.
This makes them ideal for microdosing or finding the perfect balance of relief and functionality.
Guests at Hashtag Redmond often appreciate being able to start small and increase gradually until they find their comfort zone.
