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 24 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. Here are the winners from our 15th annual THC Classic. 

For a full list of the best cannabis products in Colorado, pick up a copy of the Finest Buds Book on stands (also available for purchase at TheRooster.com).
