Flower is my favorite form of cannabis, and our most popular. Our budtenders try all the new hotness that comes into the shop so that we can give honest reviews to customers. We've got folks who dig strong sativas, and others that go for heavy-bodied indicas. Some love it all! This year we smoked a lot of killer strains, but these are the ones that made our top five.

Read MoreVape cartridges come in a variety of shapes and sizes, with an abundance of strains to choose from and unique extractors all doing it a little bit differently. From hardware like the Pax Era to the Veo auto-draw style battery, you can choose the type of convenience that suits you best. I personally love to keep a 1:1 ratio in my Pax Era while out and about running errands on my day off.
With such a wide variety of cartridge options, this was a tough category to narrow down to just our favorite 5 cartridges of 2019, but we managed to come up with our winners!
Read MoreNot just for smoking or eating, cannabis-infused topical gels and creams can do wonders for the human body. Topicals include all cannabis-infused gels, lotions, and balms. When they are placed externally on the skin, topicals are absorbed through your skin over time. There’s a wide variety of topicals on the market today, and at Hashtag, we like to break them up into categories like lubricants, oils, gels, and lotions.
We have tried them ALL, far and wide, and when we voted on our favorite topicals of 2019, the results were clear! Below are our five favorite topicals of 2019 in Washington State.
Read MoreFor those of us that are patient, edibles can be the way to go when trying to get high. Though they can take an hour or two to kick in, you get a great body high that lasts much longer than your high had you have smoked. Plus, you get a snack in addition to getting high. For the best of both worlds, smoke a joint while you wait for your edibles to kick in!

Read MoreWith fall comes cooler temperatures and the changing colors of leaves, but it could also bring you increasing aches and pains--not to mention that the gloom of Seattle grey skies can leave you feeling depressed or anxious. If this rings true for you, then read along! We recently sat down with Jeremy Kaufman, one of the founders of Seattle-based cannabis company The CPC, to explore the myriad of ways in which their cannabis products could benefit our daily life.

As a long-practicing weed smoker, nothing seems to smooth over the anxiety of meeting hundreds of new people a week like a nice J after a show. In recent years, some state legislation has blessed us with dispensary pit stops for our weed fix (Colorado! California!), but most places still feel like the Wild West in that regard. I have been touring in bands for over a decade now, and I have had some pretty weird/dire/embarrassing hunts and experiences looking for chronic.
Read MoreThere isn’t anything quite so exciting as waiting for someone to bring you gifts, especially gifts of cannabis. It was a warm summer day when I was handed 11 samples of weed, camouflaged with animal code names in an effort to eliminate bias. You see, I had the great fortune to be asked to serve as a judge for the inaugural Evergreen Cup, the Pacific Northwest’s first ever anonymous grower’s competition.

Read MoreWhy does Willie Nelson embrace cannabis? When Nelson gets stoned, it’s not recreational use, he says in an 2016 interview with The Cannabist: “It’s medicine, and it’s already been proven to be medicine. End of story.” Cannabis cures what ails him, Nelson says, and it also keeps him from getting into the trouble he used to get into with beer and whiskey and cigarettes.
Read MoreEdibles are awesome! Tasty, sweet, tart, or crunchy… no matter what form they take, edibles are a fun (and discreet) way to get loose and have a good time.
But what if you’re trying to lose weight? Or if your diet doesn’t allow you to eat foods that are high in sugar?
Not to worry, you’re not alone. A lot of the budtenders at Hashtag have dietary restrictions just like you. But we don’t let it keep us from having a good time!
In fact, Hashtag carries a wide variety of low-carb and sugar-free edibles.
Read MoreMost cannabis users are well aware of pot’s most famous molecule, Tetrahydrocannabinol Δ9 (or THC for short). And take it from us, we love THC, too!
But did you know that THC is only one of dozens of types of unique molecules that are produced by marijuana plants? Years of scientific research suggest that many of these naturally occurring and chemically-unique molecules, called cannabinoids, can have a measurable and significant impact on your high.
Summer is almost here! Long, sun-soaked days and cool, starry nights are on the horizon. Not to mention dozens of new strains and cannabis products to choose from! So, what should you be smoking this summer? What tasty edibles or cartridges should you bring to the picnic or BBQ?
Read MoreAcapulco Gold is a legendary sativa landrace strain from Mexico's Guerrero Mountains, officially defined by the Oxford English Dictionary in 1964. Its golden-green buds, sweet earthy flavor, and uniquely euphoric near-psychedelic effects made it a counterculture icon. Featured in film, name-dropped by celebrities, and still sought by connoisseurs today.

Read MoreThe Sun Cup, hosted once a year by the Washington Sungrowers Industry Association (WSIA), is a celebration of outdoor cannabis growing. This year, the WSIA invited outdoor marijuana farmers and processors from around the state to compete and to raise awareness of sustainable outdoor growing methods and the amazing quality of products that outdoor growers can produce.
