2015 Cannabis Cup in Denver

You must be 21+ or be a CO medical patient to enter the recreating (smoking) area.

The U.S. Cannabis Cup in Denver is back and is bigger than ever - with THREE DAYS of 700+ vendors, three levels of VIP experiences and travel experiences provided by CID Entertainment, world-class musical entertainment, our heralded Awards show and the biggest 4/20 party on the PLANET!

IMPORTANT: After two years of running concurrent cannabis competitions in Colorado, HIGH TIMES has decided to combine both both medical and recreational entries into a single competition - the U.S. Cannabis Cup.®

What do I need to enter?
You MUST have a valid ticket & a photo ID that shows you're over 18 years old. If you're under 21 years old, you MUST also show a Colorado state medical marijuana recommendation to enter the recreating area.

HIGH TIMES is also proud to present performances by international superstars SOJA, Nas, JBoog on 4/18 at the legendary Red Rocks; and Snoop Dogg, 2 Chainz and A$AP Rocky on 4/20 at Fiddler's Green!

HIGH TIMES will return to the Mile High City for our fifth event at the Denver Mart, open to adults 18+. Denver Mart is located at 451 East 58th Avenue, Denver, CO, 80216.
