WEED WEEK SET TO DESCEND ON DOWNTOWN PORTLAND NOV 30 – DEC 4
PDX Weed Week presented by TJs Gardens is five incredible days of cannabis activities and events in Portland, Nov. 30 to Dec. 4. Weed Week is a grassroots movement bringing together the cannabis community to share information, insights, and ideas through education, events, and entertainment.

Weed Week kicks-off with the Weedmaps Cannabis Crawl. The idea is simple: groups of Portland Weed Week attendees will go from cannabis-business to cannabis-business in the downtown vicinity to learn more about them. It’s different, it’s dynamic, and for people who don’t have the opportunity to get out and see the cannabis community in Portland, it’s absolutely something special.

What is a Cannabis Cup?

The HIGH TIMES Cannabis Cup is the world’s leading marijuana festival and trade show, celebrating the world of ganja through competitions, instructional seminars, expositions, celebrity appearances, concerts, product showcases and more. Hosted in states that have legalized medical and recreational marijuana, the Cannabis Cup stands as the foremost gathering place for the cannabis community to network and celebrate.

Where are Cannabis Cups held?

The original Cannabis Cup was held in 1988 in Amsterdam and has since expanded to the U.S. and abroad with the passage of medical and recreational laws. Cups have been held in Northern and Southern California, Denver, Seattle, Michigan and Jamaica, with new locations being added each year.

To celebrate Nevada’s legalization vote, the next Cannabis Cup will be held in Las Vegas March 4 and 5. And of course stop by CannabisCup.com for details and announcements of newly added cities and dates.
