We’re going live for the High Times Cannabis Cup New Mexico: People’s Choice Edition 2023

With this very special announcement, the Land of Enchantment just got a whole lot more enchanting. While the pandemic has temporarily halted in-person events and concerts, High Times is extremely proud to announce that New Mexico will be the site of our first in-person People’s Choice Cannabis Cup celebration.

In March we announced the arrival of our High Times Cannabis Cup New Mexico: People’s Choice Edition 2023. We usually hold digital awards ceremonies to celebrate each of our Cannabis Cup winners, but not this time. Not only is this the first People’s Choice Edition of the High Times Cannabis Cup to be held in New Mexico, but on Monday, September 4, it will also be the first-ever live and in-person awards ceremony since the pandemic.

This event is co-produced by High Times, Fusion Promotions and 101.3 The Hustle.

Attend the exciting in-person awards ceremony at the Rio Rancho Events Center and be the first to hear which New Mexico cannabis products impressed the judges. Even better, we’re partnering with Method Man and Redman to welcome New Mexico’s first Cannabis Cup winners to our High Times Cannabis Cup Hall of Fame with a live performance.

To attend this monumental live event, those who purchase a New Mexico Cannabis Cup judges’ set will receive a 30% discount on live show tickets (applicable to two tickets).

Ticket sales have already started and will end on Friday, June 23rd. To redeem the discount, attendees must call the Rio Rancho Event Center box office at (505) 891-7319 and quote the 14-digit code found on the right side of the judge’s equipment coupon.

High Times Cannabis Cup New Mexico: The People’s Choice Edition 2023 Judge Kits are available now through August 20, while supplies last. Prospective judges can search for a judges kit from a variety of exclusive judges gear retailers including Pecos Valley (also our admissions partner), Enchanted Botanicals Cannabis, Urban Wellness, Higher Purpose Apothecary, Prohibition 37, Purlife and Wheeed! However, CannabisCup.com has plenty of details on each participating location.

Our goal is to spotlight some of the best cannabis products available in the state of New Mexico. Mark Kazinec, vice president of events at High Times, told local New Mexico news source KOB 4 that the Cannabis Cup is a celebration of cannabis for everyone. “Everyone from the OG growers who know how to talk about terpene profiles to the soccer moms who trade their glass of wine for a joint at the end of the night. We want their comments, their feedback,” Kazinec told KOB 4.

The High Times Cannabis Cup New Mexico: People’s Choice Edition 2023 is presented by Elevated and supported by our Gold Sponsor: Enchanted Botanicals Cannabis, Silver Sponsor: Ghost., Bronze Sponsor: GH-Labs and General Sponsor: Mountaintop Extracts (aka) one of the top 22 brands of the year 2022 of the High Times).

2023 looks set to be a memorable year so far for the High Times Cannabis Cup People’s Choice Edition.

In January we announced the return of the High Times Cannabis Cup Michigan: People’s Choice Edition. Winners will be announced soon on July 9th. This follows the Michigan People’s Choice Edition contest we hosted in 2021 and 2022.

In March, we also announced the return of the High Times Cannabis Cup SoCal: People’s Choice Edition with a digital awards stream on July 24th. In Southern California we have a long and proud history of Cannabis Cups, three of which were People’s Choice Editions contests in 2021 and 2022.

Finally, and most recently in May, we announced the High Times Cannabis Cup Oregon: People’s Choice Edition 2023. Winners will be announced later this year on October 9th. Check out which brands have won our previous People’s Choice Edition competitions in 2021.
