The High Times Cannabis Cup, a hallmark event in the cannabis community, is making its triumphant return to Michigan in 2024 for its fifth year, solidifying the state's status as a vibrant hub for cannabis culture and industry. This competition has become a beacon for showcasing Michigan's premier cannabis products, with an extensive 20-category lineup for this year's event, highlighting the diverse and quality-driven offerings from the state's cannabis industry.
Open to all with a passion for cannabis, the competition democratizes the judging process, inviting enthusiasts from all walks of life to participate in determining the standout products of the year. Interested participants should mark their calendars, as product submissions are accepted from May 27th through June 7th in the Detroit area, with Judge Kits available for purchase starting June 22nd.
Judges are tasked with a meticulous evaluation process, employing a comprehensive set of criteria tailored to each category. For flower, pre-rolls, vape pens, and concentrates, assessments will cover aesthetics, aroma, taste, burnability, effects, and terpene profile. Edibles will be judged with an additional focus on packaging and labeling, while sublinguals, capsules, tinctures, and topicals will be evaluated for their ease of use among other criteria. Judges have until August 24th to finalize their evaluations.
The winners, showcasing the pinnacle of Michigan's cannabis offerings, will be unveiled on September 15th. The competition spans a range of categories including recreational and medical flowers, pre-rolls (both regular and infused), solvent and non-solvent concentrates, vape pens, edibles, and more, reflecting the breadth of products available in the state's adult-use and medical markets.
Entry into the competition is structured with a fee system designed to accommodate multiple submissions, including a $250 non-refundable fee for a single entry, and a scaled fee for additional entries, with special provisions for sponsorship and medical categories to address the specific needs and allowances of medical cannabis patients in Michigan.
The event not only highlights the excellence within Michigan's cannabis industry but also fosters a sense of community and innovation among growers, producers, and consumers alike, setting the stage for a vibrant and forward-moving cannabis culture in Michigan.
