12 Reasons To Get Excited for the SoCal Cannabis Cup 2018
Now, there are countless reasons to come out to High Times’ SoCal Cannabis Cup in San Bernardino, California on this 4/20 weekend. Some reasons you know like getting extraordinarily high and being surrounded by like-minded people crusading for the wide-spread legalization of weed. But there are a few key details you might not know yet if you’re planning this gathering of tokers, for one, did you know there’ll be baby goats there? Now you do! Read on for a primer on all awesome things to do at the Cup.
You Can Get High in the Sky on a Ferris Wheel
The Ferris Wheel is a great first stop to get a higher view of the event. It’s a great way to mellow out in between performances. We recommend finding your best bud, getting high and riding into the sky.
Scare Yourself Shitless in VR Games
After realizing virtual reality and marijuana were a match made in heaven, we decided to bring virtual reality games to the cannabis cup with the help of Hologate. Get baked so its easier to get completely immersed in one of Hologate’s virtual reality games.
You can fight dragons, shoot zombies or even have a virtual snowball fight while standing in sunny California.
Satisfy Those Munchies at the Food Trucks
If you’re planning on spending time in the medicating area, you’re definitely going to catch yourself starving at some point. Especially if you try any of the super appetite-stimulating delta 8 THC.
Fortunately, we will have a huge variety of food for you to choose from with over 30 food trucks on-site.
There will be tacos, hot dogs, burgers, pizza, funnel cake, kettle corn, ice cream, barbeque, pho, greek, fusion, middle-eastern, east African food and plenty more.
Break a Sweat Playing Laser Tag
A fun way to work out, play with others and stay alert after medicating is a few rounds of laser tag.
Emerald Events will be constructing a laser tag arena for two teams of six to go to war inside of.
Get Super High and Ride the Super Slide
What better time to go for a ride on the super slide than when you’re super high? Most other situations involving a super slide also come with a bunch of kids and their disgruntled parents.
At the 420 Cup, you’ll be able to hit a bong and then the slide with no paranoia. Leave your eye-stinging solutions at home. You can rock your red eyes and dank cologne with pride.
You’ll only get the utmost support and approval from us.
Become a Walking Work of Art
Turn yourself into a walking work of art at the Black Light Visuals station. Black Light Visuals is a collective of Artists led by Brad Lawerence best known for the dipping art of body marbling.
UV reactive, non-toxic acrylic paint is used to create trippy, colorful patterns on your arm or body.
You won’t have to worry about showing up to work on Monday morning still glowing. The paint washes off easily with soap and water.
Try Not To Die of a Cuteness Overload at the Petting Zoo
Who doesn’t want to be around adorable baby pigs and goats while blazed for days? Yup. There’s gonna be farm animals in a petting zoo at this years SoCal Cannabis Cup.
You’ll be able to see fainting goats, baby pigs, dwarf goats, babydoll sheep, Indian runner ducks, exotic chickens, bunnies and more.
There will be feed for sale in case you are selfless enough to cure more than your own munchies.
Laugh and Learn at the Live Podcasts
If you want some comedic or informative entertainment while chilling, check out some live podcasts!
The on-site live podcasts will include “Free Weed” with High Times Senior Cultivation Editor, Danny Danko, the “High Times Green Room” with Jackee, as well as others to be announced.
Find the Fire at the Awards Ceremony
@PonyboyPearson
The obvious attraction at the cannabis cup is the abundance of award-winning cannabis products from the best breeders, growers, and extractors in the industry. You’ll want to be at the stage when winners in each category are announced. It’ll give you a chance to find some of the winners in the prop 215 area to try them out and see if you agree with the judges.
Get Inked at the Tattoo Artist Station
Ever since High Times fan Rogelio Vega (Supa Pilot Roc Vega) sent us a photo of his cannabis cup inspired front-piece, we started inviting tattoo artists to our events.
This year will be no different. Artists from Colours Couture will be on-site, inking to your heart’s content.
