In total, the competition will feature 60 brands, 180+ product entries and 330,000 grams of cannabis across flower, concentrates, vape pens and edibles.
Posney discusses the cannabis industry and the importance of community and sharing knowledge. The Best in Grass competition aims to elevate cannabis brands and provide feedback from regular consumers. The conversation also touches on the changing perception of cannabis and the need for education, especially for new users.
