BROOKLINE, MA — The first-ever High Times Cannabis Cup Massachusetts, a people's choice competition that began on August 21, has been met with enthusiasm statewide, with local cannabis consumers lining up to buy one of the 2,000 available voting kits on August 21 and 22. The High Times Cannabis Cup, which is the world's leading cannabis competition, aims to identify and award the best cannabis products in the state across 11 categories by dispersing judging kits to local consumers. Judging kits are made up of products from 45 different brands and sold at 16 retailers, including NETA's Brookline and Northampton stores and Insa dispensaries in Springfield, Salem, and Easthampton. Cannabis consumers slept overnight at Insa Salem on August 21 and others queued up at Insa Springfield as early as 4 a.m. on August 22. Insa flower judging kits sold out immediately, but other kits remain available for edibles and tinctures judging. Patch reached out to NETA for comment on how the first few days of the Cannabis Cup played out at their retail stores and will update this article when we hear back. MA Cannabis Cup judging began August 21 and runs through October 17. Winners will be announced on October 24. For more information and updates on High Times Cannabis Cup Massachusetts, click here.
