On February 11th, at Red Rocks on H street NE, from 1pm-6pm, home-growers will be able to get their buds tested, learn about safely making edibles at home, meet and talk to medical dispensary owners and growers, and learn about the cannabis networking groups and resources available to District residents.
For the first time, home-growers in the District can get their cannabis tested ON SITE with IMMEDIATE results about THC & CBD potency, ratio of THC to CBD, and moisture content. The Steep Hill Express is internationally recognized as being within 1% of the accuracy of a High-Pressure Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC), analytical chemistry’s gold standard. It is an essential part of many cultivators’ & processors’ businesses to assess, in real time, how their flower is progressing.
Not only will growers be able to get their buds tested, but will learn about safely making edibles at home, meet and talk to medical dispensary owners and growers, and learn about the cannabis networking groups and resources available to District residents. We’ll have plenty of adult prizes and giveaways: National Cannabis Festival tickets, a local membership to Women Grow‘s D.C chapter, clone giveaways, educational take homes, cold hard cash, and (limited w/ticket purchase) free cocktails.
Because D.C. is STILL a drinking city, after all.
This collaborative educational event will also feature a competition, there will be product and ticket giveaways, take-home information, and cash ($250) prizes for highest THC and highest CBD potency. Winners will be awarded after testing has been completed.
This event will be sponsored by Women Grow, Ganjapreneur, Steep Hill, Dr. Chanda Macias (National Holistic Healing Center), DC Hydro, District Growers, National Cannabis Festival, CannX, and DC Taste Buds.
