DETROIT — Cannabis connoisseurs, take note! This year’s High Times Cannabis Cup is just around the corner, and organizers are looking for judges!
We’re told 3,500 Michiganders will get to sample locally produced cannabis and decide which products are the best of the best.
Organizers say those interested in becoming judges may pick up judging kits at retailers across the state beginning April 15. In West Michigan, kits are available at House of Dank in Grand Rapids (3510 E Mall Dr.) and Cloud Cannabis in Kalamazoo (521 E Mosel Ave.).
“We’re excited to add additional categories this year and have more participating dispensaries than ever before,” says High Times VP of Events and Competitions Mark Kazinec. “Michigan will see new brands in this year’s competition, and each one will have the opportunity to reach thousands of new customers, receive feedback on their products and potentially walk away with a coveted Cannabis Cup award.”
