Rooster Magazine’s THC Classic is Colorado’s largest cannabis and hemp competition. It’s also the only blind-judging cannabis competition, which means, to avoid bias, all submissions are repackaged without any labels or branding before being given to the judges to ensure the most accurate and credible results.
Each year, licensed dispensaries, wholesalers and manufacturers all compete to see who has the best flowers, concentrates, edibles, vape pens and infusions in the Colorado marketplace across 23 categories. Each category has a panel of judges, who meticulously review each strain, assigning an overall score based on a set of criteria (appearance, effect, flavor, etc.). 1st, 2nd and 3rd place were the highest scoring from their respective category; Grand Champion was awarded to the product with the highest score in the competition.
This year we had over 230 submissions; here are the winners from our 12th annual THC Classic.
Without further ado, we introduce the winners of the 2023 THC Classic competition in the categories of: Sativa, Indica, Hybrid, Pre-Rolls, Sun Grown, Cured, Flash Frozen, Rosin, Caviar, CBD, Disposable Vape, Distillate Vape, Flavored Vape, Solventless Vape, Hydrocarbon Vape, CO2 Vape, Chocolate, Gummy, Drinks & Dissolvables, Edible, Topical, Wildcard, New Product.
