Aspen Holds Pot/Weed Competition

If you grow or use medical marijuana, here is a conference that may be the place for you and an event for you: the Western Slope Cannabis Crown is up for grabs.  And, there’s even a People’s Choice award that will be given to the most popular of cannabis.

The April 17 and 18 event isn’t the first of its kind, it’s patterned after Amsterdam’s Cannabis Cup but it’s not all just fun and games. The serious side to the competition and the conference itself is education and providing an outlet for medicinal marijuana growers be able to showcase the best marijuana strains to the people who will sell or use them.

The event also will include speakers and information about medicinal marijuana, and is open to the general public.

So, how exactly will the judges tell which marijuana is the best? The scientific way. A laboratory will measure the THC levels, the main active part of the marijuana plant.

In acknowledgment of the earthquake in Haiti, a raffle being held at the event will donate its proceeds to Haitian disaster relief.

The website for the Cannabis Crown is not yet updated, but keep checking for details.
