          Using Drop, Riffle and Complement:



          Drop[Range[5, 2 50 - 1, 2], 3, -1, 3 ]



          5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 25, 29, 31, 35, 37, 41, 43, 47, 49, 53,

          Riffle[#, # + 2] &[2 Range[3, 50, 3] - 1]



          same result




          2 Complement[#, #[[;; ;; 3]]] & @ Range[2, 50] - 1;



          same result




          All three are faster than Pick+ Unitize combination from Henrik's answer:



          nmax = 1000000;

          e0 = Drop[Range[5, 2 nmax - 1, 2], 3, -1, 3 ]; // AbsoluteTiming



          0.0102131




          e1 = Riffle[#, # + 2] &[2 Range[3, nmax, 3] - 1]; // AbsoluteTiming // First



          0.0126898




          e2 = 2 Complement[#, #[[;; ;; 3]]] & @ Range[2, nmax] - 1; // AbsoluteTiming // First



          0.0354908




          versus Henrik's



          d = Pick[2 # - 1, Unitize[Mod[#, 3] - 2], 1] &@Range[2, nmax]; // AbsoluteTiming // First



          0.0526116




          and chyanog's method:



          (k = Floor[(2 nmax + 1)/3] - 1; 
          res = Range[4, 3 k + 1, 3] + BitAnd[Range[k], 1];) // AbsoluteTiming // First

          The condition to avoid can be rewritten using Mod, hence:



          Table[If[Mod[n, 3] != 2, 2 n - 1, Nothing], n, 2, 50]


          Or you can use Map /@ instead of Table:



          If[Mod[#, 3] != 2, 2 # - 1, Nothing] & /@ Range[2, 50]


          (Thanks to Lukas Lang for the easier use of Nothing).

            You could also return Nothing in the else case to remove the unwanted elements directly

          An idiomatic way with Sow and Reap:



          Reap[
          Do[If[Mod[n, 3] != 2, Sow[2 n - 1]], n, 2, 50]
          ][[2, 1]]



          5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 25, 29, 31, 35, 37, 41, 43, 47, 49, 53,
          55, 59, 61, 65, 67, 71, 73, 77, 79, 83, 85, 89, 91, 95, 97




          A harder to read, vectorized way: First create the list and pick the valid elements with Pick.



          Pick[2 # - 1, Unitize[Mod[#, 3] - 2], 1] &@Range[2, 50]



          5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 25, 29, 31, 35, 37, 41, 43, 47, 49, 53,
          55, 59, 61, 65, 67, 71, 73, 77, 79, 83, 85, 89, 91, 95, 97




          The vectorized version is about 40 times faster:



          nmax = 1000000;
          a = Reap[Do[If[Mod[n, 3] != 2, Sow[2 n - 1]], n, 2, nmax]][[2, 1]]; // AbsoluteTiming // First
          b = Table[If[Mod[n, 3] != 2, 2 n - 1, Nothing], n, 2, nmax]; // AbsoluteTiming // First
          c = If[Mod[#, 3] != 2, 2 # - 1, Nothing] & /@ Range[2, nmax]; // AbsoluteTiming // First
          d = Pick[2 # - 1, Unitize[Mod[#, 3] - 2], 1] &@Range[2, nmax]; // AbsoluteTiming // First
          a == b == c == d

            More efficient way



            Clear["f*"];
            f1[m_] := Module[r = Range[4, 2 m - Mod[m, 3], 3], r[[1 ;; ;; 2]] += 1; r];
            f2[m_] := Drop[Range[5, 2 m - 1, 2], 3, -1, 3];

            r1 = f1[10^7]; // RepeatedTiming
            r2 = f2[10^7]; // RepeatedTiming

            r1 == r2



            0.11, Null

              Using Drop, Riffle and Complement:



              Drop[Range[5, 2 50 - 1, 2], 3, -1, 3 ]



              5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 25, 29, 31, 35, 37, 41, 43, 47, 49, 53,
              55, 59, 61, 65, 67, 71, 73, 77, 79, 83, 85, 89, 91, 95, 97




              Riffle[#, # + 2] &[2 Range[3, 50, 3] - 1]



              same result




              2 Complement[#, #[[;; ;; 3]]] & @ Range[2, 50] - 1;



              same result




              All three are faster than Pick+ Unitize combination from Henrik's answer:



              nmax = 1000000;

              e0 = Drop[Range[5, 2 nmax - 1, 2], 3, -1, 3 ]; // AbsoluteTiming



              0.0102131




              e1 = Riffle[#, # + 2] &[2 Range[3, nmax, 3] - 1]; // AbsoluteTiming // First



              0.0126898




              e2 = 2 Complement[#, #[[;; ;; 3]]] & @ Range[2, nmax] - 1; // AbsoluteTiming // First



              0.0354908




              versus Henrik's



              d = Pick[2 # - 1, Unitize[Mod[#, 3] - 2], 1] &@Range[2, nmax]; // AbsoluteTiming // First

              The condition to avoid can be rewritten using Mod, hence:



              Table[If[Mod[n, 3] != 2, 2 n - 1, Nothing], n, 2, 50]


              Or you can use Map /@ instead of Table:



              If[Mod[#, 3] != 2, 2 # - 1, Nothing] & /@ Range[2, 50]


              (Thanks to Lukas Lang for the easier use of Nothing).

              An idiomatic way with Sow and Reap:



              Reap[
              Do[If[Mod[n, 3] != 2, Sow[2 n - 1]], n, 2, 50]
              ][[2, 1]]



              5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 25, 29, 31, 35, 37, 41, 43, 47, 49, 53,

              A harder to read, vectorized way: First create the list and pick the valid elements with Pick.



              Pick[2 # - 1, Unitize[Mod[#, 3] - 2], 1] &@Range[2, 50]

              The vectorized version is about 40 times faster:



              nmax = 1000000;
              a = Reap[Do[If[Mod[n, 3] != 2, Sow[2 n - 1]], n, 2, nmax]][[2, 1]]; // AbsoluteTiming // First
