High Times Cannabis Cup Hits Seattle This Weekend


Stoners from around the country descend on Seattle this weekend for the High Times US Cannabis Cup. Marijuana lovers will converge on the Fremont neighborhood to sample some of the Seattle area’s finest cannabis.

The event marks the second such legal pot party held by the stoner magazine since voters in Washington and Colorado legalized pot. For over 25 years, the publication has hosted its annual awards show in Amsterdam—formerly the world’s most pot-tolerant country—but with American voter-approved pot tolerance, stateside cannabis contests have become better-attended than their overseas counterpart. High Times held their first US Cannabis Cup in Denver in April, and produces medical-pot-specific events in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Detroit.

The two-day Seattle event is open to anyone age 21 or older and copious pot smoking is allowed and encouraged. A Saturday night concert at the WAMU theater features pot-friendly musicians Slightly Stoopid and Redman. Panel discussions are scheduled on topics including Initiative 502 (Washington’s legal pot law), cannabis food products, topical products, and hash oil culture. A full schedule is online.

Tickets to the High Times US Cannabis Cup cost $50 each day, and the Slightly Stoopid concert costs another $42. VIP passes for the entire weekend can be had for $160-$270. The event will be held at Fremont Studios, 155 N 35th St Seattle, WA 98103. Pot and paraphernalia are allowed, so pack up your legal ounce and head down to the Fremont neighborhood to celebrate voter-approved legal cannabis with many other ganja lovers.
