San Francisco is gearing up for its second annual SF Hash Week, scheduled to take place from July 8 to July 14, 2025. This event will highlight the city’s unique cannabis culture, featuring legal lounges, prominent hashmakers, and the latest advancements in concentrate technology.
According to David Downs, the event organizer and an established cannabis journalist, SF Hash Week aims to introduce both tourists and seasoned cannabis users to San Francisco’s legal smoking venues. Since the introduction of about 10 licensed cannabis bars in 2018, the city has remained a rare location where visitors can legally consume cannabis in designated areas. Downs pointed out that despite the availability of legal options, only half of cannabis consumers shop legally due to high taxes and state regulations.
One of the standout features of this year’s event will be the showcase of innovative hash technology. Attendees can expect to see cutting-edge devices, including miniaturized electronic hash ovens such as the Dr. Dabber Switch2 and Puffco Proxy. New trends like breath-activated live rosin vapes are gaining popularity, reflecting a shift towards more user-friendly consumption methods.
“This isn’t your dad’s hashish from the Fillmore, although we have some of that too,” Downs remarked, emphasizing the evolution of cannabis products available today.
The schedule for SF Hash Week has been released, and media representatives are encouraged to reach out for preview coverage opportunities. Participants include over 45 hashmakers and cannabis brands, such as Raw Garden, 710 Labs, Kalya, Kiva-Lost Farm, Nasha, Harry Rose, and Fire King. Each night will feature drop parties akin to record release events, celebrating the work of renowned hashmakers along with music, art, and educational sessions.
Visitors can look forward to exclusive releases of various cannabis concentrates, including bubble hash, pressed hashish, live rosin, vape pens, and infused edibles and beverages.
In addition to the event details, several key trends within the cannabis industry are noteworthy: – California lawmakers have paused tax increases on the cannabis industry, which may encourage more consumers to shop legally. – Sales of vaporizer cartridges are now second only to flower buds, indicating a shift in consumer preferences. – The trend towards solventless extracts, such as rosin and live rosin, is rising. These products, which can be as expensive as gold per gram, are produced using ice, water, filters, heat, and pressure, avoiding the use of chemicals. – Experts like Ian Skelly from 710 Labs have noted that cannabis and its concentrates are becoming more affordable, pure, and accessible than ever before.
SF Hash Week 2025 promises to be an engaging and informative experience for all attendees, showcasing the evolving landscape of cannabis culture in San Francisco.
