Cannabis connoisseurs won’t be stopped by a little Valley heat — especially when there’s free weed and swag up for grabs.
Crowds descended on the Scarizona Fairgrounds in Mesa last weekend, despite triple-digit temps, to enjoy the Errl Cup. What started in 2015 as an event for a small group of medical marijuana patients has become the largest cannabis awards and festival in Arizona.
An array of cannabis companies, smoke shops, glass blowers, sponsors and charities joined forces on Oct. 7-8 for the biannual event's fall festivities.
Attendees learned what we already know about the Errl Cup: It offers the
Best Free Weed and the
Best Cannabis Festival around.
