The First Annual Western Slope Cannabis Crown in Colorado

Attention, medical marijuana growers and smokers!

If you didn’t know already, in April there will be Colorado’s First Annual Western Slope Cannabis Crown. It will be held in Aspen from April 17-18 at the Gant. The event was organized by Glenwood Springs resident Bobby Scurlock and the owners of High Country Caregivers, and include many events. 1,500 tickets were planned to be sold, most of which are already gone. The tickets for the two-day event costs $25.

This even is not about potheads, but to enlighten the public about the benefits of medical marijuana (as a patient, plus the economic benefits for the country), as well as for vendors to showcase their strains of marijuana

The conference is open to the public, but only Colorado registered medical marijuana patients are allowed to purchase marijuana from the vendors, and these transactions must take place outside of the convention hall.

Merchandise will be sold, such as vaporizers, grow room kits, and more. There will be charity events for the Haiti crisis.

There will also be information booths, live bands, and public speakers to inform the audience why medical marijuana is in fact a safe and effective drug for medical patients, and how the economy is benefited by medical marijuana (and how it would help if marijuana was legalized entirely).

But the best part of the convention has to be the Cannabis Crown.

Like the Cannabis Cup held yearly in Europe, the competition will determine which grower has the most potent strain of marijuana. By most potent, we mean high levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC – that thing that makes marijuana effective) and how they affect the needs of the patient (how well they cure back pain, asthma, etc.).

The competition is going to be judged by Full Spectrum Laboratories, and there will also be spots for “People’s Choice Awards” that will be voted by the medical marijuana patients. The people’s choice awards will narrow down the competition, but the actual crown will be given based off a diagnostic test of the plant.

It is estimated that at least 400 different strains of marijuana will be at the event, as well as several edibles (brownies, candies, etc) on site. 40 strains have currently been entered into the Cannabis Crown competition.

The turn out is expected to be huge, so don’t miss out on this medical marijuana event!
