As the crowd grew outside of High Times’ Medical Cannabis Cup in Denver, Colorado, there was lots of speculation as to what the gathering would be like this year. The weather was no disappointment as the shone down on the cup for two straight days while the festivities were had. The event was held in the same place as it was the previous year; the EXDO Events Center. Many people were excited about the location of the Cannabis Cup and rightfully so. The recent cup held in Los Angeles as well as the recent passing of 4/20, the national stoner holiday were both contributing factors to the massive turn out of the event. Needless to say, this was one of the most successful Cannabis Cups in history and this only adds to the excitement for future events.
Turn Out and Festivities
As the Cannabis Cup is so widely known these days, the amount of people that showed up for the event was truly remarkable. The main room of the cup was separated from another in which patients were allowed to partake in the medical cannabis if a valid medical marijuana license was provided. This ensured that all of the stoners could have a good time while others could just stand back and watch if they so chose. The cup also featured many dabs which are high potency concentrates that are made to especially mess up the one who takes it. These were only a few among the many exciting things that happened at the Medical Cannabis Cup in Denver, Colorado this year.
Some other interesting activities went on as well like a seminar posing the question of whether or not the medical marijuana laws are actually slowing down the plant’s eventual total legality. This is a very interesting question with lots of merit because many people might think they are fine with the way things are and not vote on such issues because of it. Colorado is also taking a bold step in trying to make weed completely legal right now. Whether the law is passed or not is something we will have to wait and find out. Among other things, the program NORML was recognized for its outstanding contributions to the marijuana community and the legalize weed movement. The programs’ leader, Keith Stroup, was given a lifetime achievement award for his work in the legalization of marijuana.
Top Strains
One of the main reasons these Cannabis Cups are held is so we can get a large consensus on what people think of as the best weed. This year, the races were very close, but there are some clear cut winners across all the different types of bud. First off, the Indica category was won by SFV OG with Kurple Fantasy, and Kataract Kush falling closely behind. The Sativas were another close race on top of which Stardawg Guava ultimately landed followed by Red Headed Stranger and Jack Herer. Finally, the hybrids are always my favorite and they had some particularly great strains this year. Skunkberry finished at the head of the pack while Jack Flash and Rascal OG pulled close seconds and thirds. With all the fun we had this year, be sure to go out and get a ticket to the next Cannabis Cup!
