This past weekend at the California State Fair Cannabis Awards was one of those moments where community truly forges history! The 170 year running California Expo & State Fair has added a compelling and globally recognized cannabis exhibition, and with the great leadership of James Leitz and the team at Embarc, this year added what we all believe to be the world's largest regulated consumption and destigmatization event ever to be smoked. The event was packed with customers and stewards of our community and for the first time in a long while, the expressions and collective sentiments were of enthusiasm and hope, and always of mutual admiration in understanding that California is forwarding the very best cannabis products that our nation has to offer. Over 500 products were submitted, several dozen companies including Sonoma Hills Farm received Silver and Gold Medals, and those that took Golden Bears were KIKOKO, Pure Beauty (x2), The Pairist x Huckleberry Farms, Glass House Brands Inc., Ay Papi x Huckleberry Farms, Arcata Fire, Space Gem, and Emerald Spirit Botanicals. Pause on that list of companies - some are generational craft farmers, some are long-term bootstrapped cannabis makers, some are fresher to the mix and have received sizable investment - but all are building with a focus on quality and excellence. This diverse tapestry is what makes California formidable. I was so thrilled for the opportunity to present the Golden Bear for Edibles to the ever-deserving Wendy Baker of Space Gem, whose brand has trailblazed in making solventless full spectrum hash infused vegan edibles since its onset. I'm immensely impressed with the team GreenState - Rose Fulton (She/Her) and Rachelle Gordon for pulling off such a polished presentation. Thanks to all of the judges Budist, Jocelyn Sheltraw and Claudio Miranda. Thanks to all of the sponsors Dustin Hoxworth of Fat Nugs Magazine, Beard Bros Pharms, Jun S. Lee of NABIS, Alec Dixon of SC Labs, Angela Pih of CCELL, Cookies, Department of Cannabis Control, United Core Alliance, Origins Council, and my team at Cannabis Media Council. And a special thanks to the Embarc team for bringing this to primetime.
