Necessity is the mother of invention

And this 4/20 Colorado Cannabis Tours is the inventor

 

This year the High Times Cannabis Cup moved the regularly scheduled 4/20 event in Denver, Colorado to California. This might have left a massive hole in the plans of thousands of tourists heading to Denver for the High Holidaze.

But with the help of Dixie Elixirs, the official sponsors for Colorado Cannabis Week 2016, Michael Eymer and Heidi Keyes have it all under control. They’ve added a gang of extras to their events including a 420 friendly Stoner Cinema on April 17 featuring The Big Lebowski and much more for just $25.

Other additions to the regularly scheduled offerings include:

  • Tours will run daily (instead of Friday and Saturdays only) from April 15 – April 23
  • Ganja and Galleries walking tour (SOLD OUT)
  • 4/20 Munchie Crawl YES it is JUST what it sounds like
  • Daily Cooking Classes April 17 – April 22
  • Infused Dinner Party April 15 and April 22
  • Extra Puff Pass & Paint classes have been added April 16 and April 18 – April 23
  • Build a Bong Challenge before each Puff Pass & Paint class

7 Wonders of the Weed Mecca or How We Upped Our Denver 420 Game

With this year’s usual 4/20 Colorado Cannabis Cup being held in California instead (there will still be an awards presentation and a concert from High Times on 4/19), we at Colorado Cannabis Tours wanted to do everything we could to make sure the party continued as usual in our fair capital city of Denver. We already had plans to add several extra time slots for our famous cannabis tours and we added extra nights to our Puff Pass and Paint and cannabis cooking class offerings. But we wanted to do more.

Quickie: WTF Happened With The Cannabis Cup

by Leave a Comment

This year, High Times has moved the US Cannabis Cup to California. For real. Now this super cool graphic we created is going to go waste.

So…WTF happened?

Earlier this year, the High Times US Cannabis Cup 2016 made news when it was revealed that their annual event at the Denver Mart would not go down as usual.

Adams County denied the permit to the event hosts – citing concerns about the influx of people in the neighborhood and the fact that many of those people would be consuming marijuana for the better part of the festival and then walking around those neighborhoods.

Cannabis Cup Denver

While it is well within the right of the Adams County to accept or reject an event application made to them, Cup fans were left wondering – WHAT NEXT?

High Times had an answer. They immediately pooled their resources and an organizer in Pueblo filed an application to use land there, at a venue called “the Yard.” The Yard is well over 100 miles from Denver but with the time crunch, it seemed like at least a viable way to keep the Cup going.

Unfortunately, because a local Pueblo event organizer was the one to file the paperwork to use the Yard, NOT a member of the High Times group, the application had to be resubmitted. And because that re-submission was so last minute – the dates of the cup would now need to be changed.a

At this point, High Times was still rolling with it. The information on CannabisCup.com had been updated regularly and allowed prospective attendees to be aware of the shifts the event was going through this year.

But yesterday it got about as sticky as it can get. The Denver Westword reports:

“This morning, High Times requested Pueblo County cease processing its special event permit application for the High Times US Cannabis Cup 2016,” Pueblo County Community Information Manager Paris Carmichael said in an e-mail sent yesterday.

It was starting to look like there might not be a 4/20 cup IN Colorado this year – at all. And that is kinda sad, right?

Then, this – confirmation. In an alleged High Times email obtained by The Cannabist, HT explains the switch to event vendors,

“The U.S. Cannabis Cup will be held at Southern California on April 15-17th, and we’re expecting 25,000 in attendance.”

It is hardly the end of the road for stoners hoping to celebrate the high holidaze in Denver though. As usual, the city will be celebrating on a massive scale. 

To celebrate, Colorado Cannabis Tours will have special packages available – We want to make sure you still get the 420 friendly experience you were planning on.

We are also working on one really BIG event – something we are psyched to be offering the fine city of Denver!

So don’t worry about the trip you’ve already planned or whether or not you should still be booking your trip here in Denver.  CUP or NO CUP Denver is going to party like cannabis is legal…because, well, here in Colorado it actually is!

Cannabis Cup is Coming! Join the Biggest 420 Party in America

Cannabis Cup is Coming!

Join Colorado Cannabis Tours for the Biggest 420 Party in America

Last year’s High Times U.S. Cannabis Cup marked a historic moment in cannabis culture, celebrating the legalization of recreational sales and adult use in the state. The 2014 Cannabis Cup brought a record breaking number of enthusiasts to the Mile High City, soundly defeating any previous attendance figures for the legendary High Times event. And the 2015 Cup, running from April 18th to the 20th, promises to be bigger and badder than ever.

Founded in 1988, the High Times Cannabis Cup is the world’s premier marijuana festival, a multi-day spectacle dedicated to sampling, sharing, and judging some of the world’s finest cannabis creations. This year’s event at the Denver Mart will feature over 700 vendors, ranging from licensed dispensaries, to gourmet edibles companies and creators of handcrafted glassware. Judges will be on hand to asses the best offerings in a variety of categories, including Best Glass, Best Edibles, and Best U.S. Indica and Sativa.

This year’s event has been expanded to three full days at the Denver Mart, featuring special performances by SOJA, Nas, J-Boog, and Snoop Dogg. Outside the official roster of Cannabis Cup activities, local venues and business have an equally impressive schedule of activities planned to mark the occasion. The 420 in the Streets concert will include performances by Method Man and Redman, Cypress Hill, and Collie Buddz. To make the most of this remarkable event, Colorado Cannabis Tours is offering visitors access to all the amenities necessary to plan the ultimate weed-centric vacation, including exclusive deals on 420 friendly accommodations, complimentary vaporizers, and a special Cannabis Cup edition of Denver’s most comprehensive marijuana tour – featuring a surprise appearance by a very special celebrity guest. Colorado Cannabis Tours has teamed up with a diverse selection of marijuana friendly lodgings, allowing visitors to easily book accommodations along with their daily tours and activities. Be forewarned though: Cannabis Cup is expected to attract an unprecedented crowd this year. Book early if you don’t want to miss out on the true Mile High experience.
