High Times Announces Colorado Cannabis Cup Winners

Colorado marijuana companies put their best flower, edibles, concentrates and other products to the test in this summer's High Times Cannabis Cup, and the results are in.

The Cannabis Cup made a few changes during its pandemic hiatus, and this round was decided by an at-home vote of the general public instead of by a handful of judges at an in-person event. (High Times says it plans to return to the live format in the future, but will keep the wider voter system.)

Starting June 5, around 230 judges from the general public picked up product kits from Colorado dispensaries and tallied their favorites in twelve product categories, with participants encouraged to take time with their research.

Nearly fifty Colorado marijuana brands competed in the 2022 contest, according to High Times, but only the top three of each category are recognized. Here are the winners:
