A Marijuana Contest in D.C State

The D.C State Fair Will Hold A Best Marijuana Bud Contest

The US hosts many different types of contests and fairs all of the time, but the D.C State Fair is certainly one of the most popular.  This fair has been held for many years now and it is an American custom now.  What many probably don't know is that this year, the D.C State Fair will be hosting a "best marijuana bud contest", which proves that cannabis is now legal in this State.  

This contest will recognize the top marijuana flower in the State and it will also promote the regulation of this herb worldwide.  Cannabis has been legal in D.C, since last February and the new laws allow citizens to have up to two ounces of weed with them and to grow up to six marijuana plants inside their homes.  

The Marijuana Contest

The fair will take place on September 12 and the cannabis contest that will be held there, will categorize marijuana buds in different ways.

1. Appearance
2. Odor
3. Touch
4. How was it grown

The judges will not smoke cannabis buds to test them, which means that the high of each bud, will not influence in the contest results.  The plants must be grown inside the district and they must have been started from seed.  No clones will be accepted and marijuana plants from other States will also be banned.  

There will only be 50 participants in this contest and the submissions need to be in by September 12, between 2 pm and 3 pm.  The contest will take place that same day at 4:20.  

Hopefully more districts and states around the US and the World start doing the same, as marijuana needs to be regulated and legalized.  Please remember to share and like this blog post, so that more people can read about the best marijuana bud contest in D.C.  Don't forget to sign up for our free newsletter, by leaving us your email in the box to the right.

  

Marijuana Has Been Found In Space

Cannabis Found On A Meteorite

Experts from the University of Hawaii, analyzed a meteorite that was found in the desert of Nevada, back in 2010 and they have found THC in it.  The scientists and researchers, were analyzing some parts of the fallen meteorite and they were amazed to find Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, which is widely known to be found in the marijuana plant.  

James Hun, who is the astrophysicist in charge of this study, said "the discovery of THC on meteorite fragments, will have huge impact on the science of astrobiology.  If chemical substances, that change brain functions and result in alteration in perception, mood, or consciousness in humans, find their origin in outer space, what role then has cometary impacts played on the human species? Or on life on the planet as whole? This discovery ultimately leaves us with more questions than answers. It gives a whole new meaning to the term getting high".

Hun's last sentence, was told to the press with a bit of humor and we certainly had a short laugh. 

Back in 2009. some researchers from the University of Mexico, were also analyzing some meteorite fragments and they also found some THC.  The discovery was cataloged as "controversial" and there wasn't much fuzz made about it. 

At the moment, there is still no answer or proof as to why there was THC on these pieces of meteorite, but scientists and researchers are certainly already working on the case.  It will be very interesting to see what they come up with and what this thing really means.  

Are there marijuana plants growing in other parts of the Universe? Is marijuana or THC an essential thing for living somewhere in space?  Is there plant life outside our planet?  Or did simply someone who smoked some cannabis touch the fragments of meteorite and left some residues behind.  Lot's of questions come to mind and hopefully someone finds the right answer soon.
