I was going through cannabis cup winners and I was curious to to know the parameters/features of an award winning extracts. How are the judged and what protocol of evaluation exists? I want to compare my extracts with them but apart from purity, colour, terpenes and clarity I dont see much novel parameters of evaluation. I use heptane and hexane(cold) to create my extracts. I would love to know if solvent/method of extraction has an impact on cannabis cup winning extracts. I searched the forum and couldnt find any relevant info-hence the post. If its already discussed, I would gladly delete this post.
Is it really like that now? Cause I don’t remember it being that way at all…
I certainly never had to buy a booth to compete in any of these cannabis competitions. And I’ve seen my teams place before, never first mind you - but still placing and the only cost beyond normal was transportation and extra testing of the batch.
That was a year or so ago though. Are things so different now? Is this only for cannabis cup stuff - or would you say its for all competitions?
Money wins cannabis cups my friend. I’ve seen it every year they had it here in Colorado. No FUCKING way the GREEN SOLUTION won cannabis cups with that shitty ass custy PM covered weed
Most are bought and paid for, had a booth a few yrs ago and they guy who won was getting the orders ready before they even announced the winner. He paid for a few in a row
The cannabis space is so disappointing on a regular basis. I cant imagine actually working in it full time, giving it all your effort, for Chad’s with money to prevail with garbage weed.
I’m sure this sort of behavior would only get worse with federal legalization. Probably only going to get worse for quite some time as new markets open, existing ones expanding etc. Makes me happy to not be involved…
But if it’s a cannabis competition, its literally a dick swinging contest. No matter the application, a dick swinging contest is just that…a bunch of people standing around looking at a bunch of decorated egos oooing and ahhhhing. Y’all can have that circle jerk to yourselves.
I imagine it can be. I do the cannabis because I believe its medicine and should be available to all. I knowingly cannot participate in the legal industry simply because of my belief system. If one sees cannabis simply as a commodity, then I’m sure the cannabis space is quite grand…
I agree it is very rewarding at times. But knowing that most corporate entities are only worried about the bottom dollar is the hard part. I understand it is a business at the end of the day. My biggest problem is that almost all c suite people have no prior cannabis experience and act like they can run/operate a facility.
this is facts
