The 2013 HIGH TIMES Cannabis Cup In L.A.
The first HIGH TIMES event that I ever went to was in Los Angeles last year. It still ranks as one of my favorite events I’ve ever been to. I’ve been to Cannabis Cups in Denver, Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, and while they were all fantastic, I think Los Angeles has it’s own flair that is hard to match. At one point a police helicopter flew over the event and spotlighted the participants below. Without any hesitation, we all blew as much smoke into the air as possible and gave the helicopter the middle finger. It was amazing!
Below are frequently asked questions about the event, as well as a video from last year’s Cup in Los Angeles:

Will I get to judge the strains and vote for the HIGH TIMES Medical Cannabis Cup?
All ticket holders will receive a list of the entered strains one week before the event so that California medical marijuana patients can visit the participating dispensaries and sample their entries. The HIGH TIMES Medical Cannabis Cups will be awarded by a panel of independent experts based on extensive sampling in a blind tasting. This expert panel will be at the expo on Sunday evening to announce their decisions and award the HIGH TIMES Medical Cannabis Cups to California’s top medical marijuana providers.
Do I get any cannabis as part of my ticket price?
Due to California law we cannot sell or give away cannabis.

Daytime events at Los Angeles Center Studios are definitely wheelchair friendly, though you should contact the venue directly with any specific questions or concerns.
