We’re announcing the return of the highly-anticipated High Times Cannabis Cup Michigan 2024

It’s the fifth year we’ve set up a competition in Michigan—one of our most enthusiastic event markets—and the most recent rundown of winners showcases Michigan’s finest products. With a massive 20-category breakdown this year, we’re proud to display the winners of a variety of categories, as determined by our Michigan judges.

Anybody can be a Judge and you don’t need to be an esteemed member of the cannabis community—just have the passion and grit needed to determine the next year’s winners. Act fast, as product submissions will be taken May 27 through June 7 in the Detroit area. Judge Kits go on sale June 22.

Judges will analyze products in their Judge Kits and a backpack full of potent submissions, using a variety of criteria. For the categories involving flower, pre-rolls, vape pens, and concentrates, judges will take note of a product’s aesthetics, aroma/scent, taste/flavor profile, burnability, effects/effectiveness, and terpene profile. Edibles have a slightly different list of considerations, including packaging and labeling. For categories like Sublinguals, Capsules, Tinctures + Topicals, judges will rank them based on ease of use as well. They’ll have about three months to narrow down their choices. Saturday, August 24 is the judging deadline for Cannabis Cup Judges.

On Sunday, September 15, the winners will be announced! The entry categories include the following:

  1. Rec Indica Flower (4 entries max per company) (state-licensed adult-use)

Looking Back at Events in Michigan

Let’s take a look back at a few past highlights in the Midwest. Michigan has hosted many Cannabis Cups with notable faces over the years, and we have some signature years underneath our belts. 2018’s High Times Cannabis Cup Michigan festivities, for instance, were headlined by Lil Wayne, Waka Flocka Flame, Vic Mensa, Machine Gun Kelly, Yo Gotti, and more. 

The 2019 Michigan Cannabis Cup showcased amazing submissions of strains like Critical Mass by Mrs. Berry Kush or Tropicana Cookies by COCO Extracts.

Last year, at the High Times Cannabis Cup Michigan 2023, winners received the coveted High Times Cannabis Cup trophy, a longtime symbol of quality in the cannabis community. It was designed by Alex and Allyson Grey, made from zinc and 24k gold plating.

  1. Hopefully they actually judge these products and not just take them and sell them on the black market like they did in Oklahoma

  2. I buy several judge kits every year. I get up early, drive to a dispensary and wait in line forever. Then it takes way too long to check everyone out because it isn’t organized every time. Changing all the carts, and concentrate entries to half grams is stupid. It’s a waste of packaging, and as a judge pisses me off. Stop screwing the people that pay to fund the entire event.

  3. It’s already June 7th and High Times hasn’t released vendors info! You guys are freakin lame. First you posted the wrong date (june 15th) for the people choice judge kit drop, now this!
    Who the f#ck is selling the judge kits dumbasses!? Geez!
    Just get out of the business if your going to be this stupid.

  4. High Times Cannabis Cup Michigan 2024 promises to be epic! Enhance your experience with Getglassdistribution for top notch smoking accessories.

  5. Does anyone know where these will be sold? It’s 2 days till they are supposed to be out and pretty much every single dispensary I’ve called said they weren’t doing it. Please high times give us some info!

  6. I took time off work for this. They’re suppose to be on sale today and there’s been no information on what dispensaries are selling them or anything. I’ve called several dispensaries that have done it the previous years just for them to tell me that they’re not participating this year. Can someone please give us some information.
