California-Grown Cannabis To Be Judged At Next State Fair
Its purpose is to recognize the best in CA’s licensed market
California’s state fair has struggled with two years of COVID cancellations. But planning is already underway for next year’s event.
And among the livestock and food competitions, there will be a new award handed out for top pot. We’re getting answers on just how the cannabis competition will be judged.
