The Western Slope Cannabis Crown is coming up, man

This Denver might be the Mile High City, but come the weekend before April 20, Aspen might give it a run for its money: Colorado’s first Western Slope Cannabis Crown contest, held April 17-18, will include as many as 400 strains of weed, live music, guest speakers, and information about medical marijuana. The sesh is open to the public, but only registered medical users can buy pot or get their hands on “golden tickets” to let them sample all the entries.

“We’re really almost sold out already,” said Joe McVicker of High Country Caregivers, a Glenwood Springs dispensary helping organize the event. “There were, like, 1,500 tickets and we probably have, like, 40 now.”
Luckily, for those of us too stoned and lazy to go all the way to Glenwood Springs for a $25 ticket, McVicker said there’s another 80 or so on Craigslist. Oh, and some place in Denver called Green Thumb has them, too, but he wasn’t sure where it is. (No joke.)

“We’re going to have Hunter S. Thompson’s wife here for a chat, and the editor of High Times will be here, too,” McVicker said. “We’re gonna help people get [medical marijuana] cards, and it’s just going to be a good time.”

Pot strains will be judged based on THC levels and how well they treat different medical problems. Golden ticket holders will help choose a people’s choice, but expert judges will select the winner, and McVicker thinks the grower will win a trip to Amsterdam. For more information, you could visit the website, but it’s, you know, still in the works. So for now, call High Country Caregivers at 970-945-2492.
