Episode: 057 -Best In Grass: The Cannabis Competition Putting Consumers in the Judge’s Seat
This week we sit down with Mark and Joe, the creators of Best In Grass, to break down their unique state-by-state cannabis competition and how they’re putting the power of judging directly into the hands of everyday consumers. After previously working together at High Times, the two entrepreneurs launched Best In Grass to create a more transparent and consumer-driven way of recognizing the best cannabis products on the market.
The guys explain how the competition works from the innovative judge kits and 14 product categories to serialized voting cards and a two-month evaluation process covering everything from taste and effects to aesthetics and smokability. They also discuss their strict anti-bribery policies, technology-driven fraud prevention, and how anonymous consumer feedback is delivered back to participating brands to help them improve.
With the Massachusetts competition underway across 28 dispensaries, Mark and Joe also talk about the upcoming awards in Boston and their plans to expand Best In Grass into markets across the country.
