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!).

Read MoreAmerican Hash Makers is a cannabis processor out of Port Townsend, Washington. They are an industry leader in hashish processing within Washington State. They produce exclusively solventless hash and solventless hash products. Since 2015, they have sourced the most exceptional quality indoor and sun-grown buds; keeping their hash clean, and minimally processed to ensure the final product carries the full effect of the flower.
American Hash Maker’s mission is to process quality products in a clean, environmentally mindful way. American Hash Makers is actually the first 502 processing facility that has received tax exemption from the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency because their processes require minimal emissions and/or energy output. A major reason American Hash Makers was one of the i502 processing facilities to receive an exemption from the PSCAA is because all of their products are 100% solventless, and made by hand for your enjoyment. The only machine they possess in their establishment is an ice machine. By using less equipment, they consume less energy and create more jobs for people looking to get involved in such an exciting industry.
Read MoreWhat IS a cannabis infused topical?
Today, there is a cannabis product for just about any and everything. Among the vast array of product types available on the market, cannabis topicals are some of the most unique. You don’t smoke or vaporize a topical, you won't get high or become intoxicated, and you simply apply externally by rubbing them right into your skin.
They are fast-acting and produce localized relief for soreness, pain, and inflammation. Topicals are the favorite of consumers who want the therapeutic effects of cannabis without the psychoactive effects of other cannabis consumption methods.
FUN FACT:
Cannabis topicals may be traced back all the way to ancient Egypt, where the Ebers papyrus (one of the world’s oldest medical documents) reveals their use for anti-inflammatory purposes.
Much later, Queen Victoria of England is reputed to have used cannabis tinctures and cannabidiol (CBD) oil to relieve menstrual cramps. Today, cannabis topicals are widely available and tapped for their potential to treat pain, inflammation, mood disorders, and much more.
Read MoreXtracted Labs is a cannabis processor located in Seattle’s SoDo neighborhood just south of the city center. They have been in the business of creating premium cannabis extracts for over a decade. In 2012, years after building a thriving processing business for Washington state’s dispensaries and medical patients, Xtracted Labs was officially incorporated in Seattle, Washington by a group of experienced cannabis producers with a focus on shaping the burgeoning industry.
Founded on the mantra, “safe for the patient, safe for the processor,” Xtracted has worked closely with state and local officials to help institute sensible regulation of one of the world’s first legal markets for cannabis. Consequently, Xtracted has helped to pave the way for other hydrocarbon extractors to make their way to the market, and they are true OG’s in the Washington market and culture. Their dedication to pioneering good practices and maintaining rigorous internal standards helps to propel the expanding cannabis industry forward and set an example as an industry leader.
Read MoreWhat is hash?
Hash, short for hashish, is a cannabis concentrate made by isolating the trichomes from the cannabis plant. Hash can go through various forms of processing after trichome separation to further tailor its consistency and usability. Because this substance is made out of only trichomes—the part of the cannabis plant containing cannabinoids and terpenes—it is much more potent than regular cannabis flowers.
It is also more full spectrum than solvent based cannabis concentrates (such as BHO/PHO or distillate), allowing for more broad ranging therapeutic effects and a full bodied high that can be explained through the entourage effect. Solventless concentrates are able to maintain the integrity of their terpene and cannabinoid profile relatively well through the extraction process compared to other solvent extracted concentrates.
Read MoreHitz Cannabis is a tier three cannabis producer and processor based in Yelm, Washington. Hitz is a sustainability run, clean green certified, pesticide free, outdoor cannabis farm.
