This April 20th marks the 9th anniversary of Hashtag Cannabis’ grand opening in Seattle. So we thought we’d take a look back to when Hashtag was little more than a young couple’s dream, an ambitious business proposition, and a vision for how cannabis retail should be. 

If you’re wondering what Hashtag was like all those years back, then you’ve come to the right plance!

Featuring Adé A. Cônnére

Back after a very long, very strange 12 months, it’s Adé A. Cônnére! You may recall meeting her via our blog last year, #HowIHashtag: Meet Ade.

“Excited about our very first live in person show as Bijoux! We will be serving up some Disco delights for the Artists behind Glass Series at Vermilion! A great way for artists to perform live and still socially distance. Friday April 16th at 7pm!”

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!

#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!
