SUMMARY:Hemp Fest - Seattle
DESCRIPTION:The 27th Annual Seattle Hempfest \nSeattle HEMPFEST\, the undisputed King of Protestivals\, and the largest cannabis convocation in the world. \nSeattle HEMPFEST\, the premier flagship event of the global cannabis culture\, is celebrating its 27th year.  Hempfest’s crown jewels of achievement include its designation as the largest annual cannabis policy reform event in the world. But that could change with a single event. What is less likely to change is the fact that the Seattle HEMPFEST is the most sophisticated and socially responsible cannabis rally in history\, and perhaps the largest annual free speech event in the nation. \nWith a laser focus on political content and a deep commitment to community values\, Seattle’s HEMPFEST event has influenced regional and national public policy while being an economic generator in its community. Seattle’s HEMPFEST event paved the way and tilled the soil for Washington State citizens to legalize cannabis before any other state. \nThe Seattle HEMPFEST enters its 27th year with a volunteer event staff of 1\,000\, and operating 5 stages of non-stop speakers and music & 400 arts\, crafts\, food\, and informational vendors. \nNo other cannabis event can boast the extensive speaker’s list of Seattle HEMPFEST. Seattle’s current and former mayors have spoken from HEMPFEST’s  Main Stage\, along with U.S. Congressman Dana Rohrabacher\, former U.S. Congressman Dennis Kucinich\, former Seattle Police Chief Norm Stamper\, actor Woody Harrelson\, and a cadre of notable reform movement luminaries and celebrities. \nOur huge Ric Smith Memorial Hemposium  tent features press conferences\, panel discussions\, and keynote speakers during the free 3 day waterfront event. \n \nA Seattle Special Event with traditional status\, the Seattle HEMPFEST requires hundreds of pages of planning and the city granted permit is obtained after organizers work cooperatively with many city agencies and community stakeholders to guarantee that safety\, health\, and other community concerns are met. \nTo enjoy decades worth of photo’s visit our gallery. \nWe’re proud to usher in our 27th year with you! \n  \nLocation: Seattle Hempfest takes place on three beautiful downtown Seattle\, water front parks\, Olympic Sculpture Park\, Myrtle Edwards Park\, & Centennial Park.

SUMMARY:Chalice California - San Bernardino
DESCRIPTION:About This Festival\n\n\n\n\nSome people just want to blaze in peace\, but most music festivals forbid the use of illegal substances on their grounds. Legality seems like a never-ending battle in the North American market\, and then there’s the renowned Chalice Festival in Victorville\, California\, the world’s largest glass\, hash\, music and art festival. Combining superstar music talent and elite cannabis companies into one jam-packed weekend\, Chalice California is the tomato-eyed experience you deserve.

Chalice California boasts top-notch talent in the music industry representing electronic\, rap\, hip-hop and bass genres. In previous years\, the smoky music festival saw the likes of Ice Cube\, Manic Focus\, Wu-Tang Clan and Cypress Hill\, among many other top-selling artists. In 2018\, hip-hop and bass heads will be treated to Bassnectar’s skull-crushing beats\, Ludacris’ rap crossover hits and many other popular artists on stage. \nThe Hash\nAttend virtually any other festival in search of good weed and you’ll always have eyes in the back of your head. The threat of doughy cops trying to look busy isn’t a problem at Chalice California\, because you can get the good stuff here without consequences. Held outdoors on the fairgrounds\, this celebration of cannabis culture features a wealth of onsite vendors who compete in a variety of categories including “Highest THC Solvent\,” “Highest CBD Flower\,” and “Highest THC Distillation\,” among over a dozen other categories. If you don’t care about who wins the expertly judged Chalice Competition\, no worries\, because you’ll have full access to high-quality brands and the gnarliest inventions all the same. \nThe Glass\nBeyond ganja and heavy-hitting music\, the “Glass Village” might be the highlight of your Chalice festival experience. Wickedly talented glassblowers from around America will be on site to showcase their beautiful glass art\, including necklaces\, pipes and more complex pieces. Using torches\, these artists heat the glass to more than 1\,000 degrees in order to achieve their designs\, which is no easy task when it’s already 100-plus degrees in Victorville\, California. You can expect hundreds of unique pieces and live glass-blowing demos to get a sense of each artists’ techniques.

SUMMARY:Reno Cannabis Convention
DESCRIPTION:About Us\n\n\nThe Reno Expo 2018 LLC (Reno Cannabis Convention) was founded in 2017 upon reviewing the lack of established resource hubs for the rapidly expanding Cannabis industry in Nevada. Events\, where businesses\, entrepreneurs\, investors\, educators\, patients\, advocates\, and consumers could connect\, learn\, and grow\, is lacking in Nevada\, specifically Reno. We felt a locally operated convention model focused on the Nevada market (highlighting the state’s medical and recreational status) would be a superior alternative to the inevitable corporate convention takeover. Rather than focusing on what the Nevada Cannabis industry can do for us\, we take a collaborative approach to our show that will produce consistently high ROI for exhibitors\, sponsors\, and attendees\, facilitating growth for the industry at large. \n\nThe Reno Cannabis Convention is a unique Cannabis industry trade show in that it serves both the B2B\, B2C communities\, as well as patients and caregivers in the state of Nevada. At this event\, every facet of the cannabis industry is represented\, including: Accounting\, Insurance\, Marketing\, Banking\, Payment Processing\, Botanicals\, Patient Advocacy\, Storage\, Packaging\, Dosing\, Equipment\, Patient Education\, Medical Experts\, Displays & Fixtures\, Grow Lights\, Hemp Industry\, Hydroponics & Cultivation Products\, Infused Products\, Inventory Tracking\, Legal Resources\, Licensing Services\, Medical Resources\, Smoking\, Vaping\, Dabbing\, POS & Management Software\, Private Equity & Investment Resources\, Training & Education\, Security Services & Equipment\, Testing & Lab Services\, Tinctures\, Salves\, & Topicals. \n\nWe hope to see you at our convention; if you see one of us\, please feel free to introduce yourself and share your thoughts on what you would like to see at the next one! Nevada is our home\, and we want to do our part to help make the Nevada cannabis industry an overwhelming success.

SUMMARY:High Times Cannabis Cup - Jamaica
DESCRIPTION:The festival was founded in 1987 by Steven Hager\, an American writer\, activist\, and strong proponent for the legalization of marijuana. He first conceived the event as a harvest celebration to promote the personal cultivation and use of cannabis. With such liberal drug laws in Amsterdam it came as no surprise when the city was announced as the host venue. \nIn 1988\, Hager took on the role as editor of the High Times magazine\, a name now synonymous with the Cup. Hager was also very active in the counterculture movement and by the sixth year he began introducing a spiritual aspect into the event. Each day at 4:20 (the U.S. penal code used for marijuana possession) people gather by the main stage for an open mic session. People are encouraged to exchange ideas and many of the speakers talk about how marijuana brings them closer to God. \nIn 1997\, the Counterculture Hall of Fame was created to recognize those who had helped shape the movement. The inductions are made every year on Thanksgiving as part of the Cannabis Cup awards show. The first person to be inducted was reggae legend Bob Marley. Other notable inductees include Jack Kerouac\, Louis Armstrong\, and Bob Dylan. \nIn recent years the festival expanded internationally to the United States\, first in the form of the High Times Medical Cannabis Cup\, and then as the High Times Cannabis Cup (in states that have legalized recreational marijuana). The first event took place in San Francisco (natch) in 2010\, and Cups now take place in Los Angeles\, Denver\, Seattle\, Portland and beyond.
