It’s “tasting time” again as the All American Healing Group returns with the 6th Annual Doesha Cup. Unlike most medical marijuana events, the Doesha is no mere expo, and those in attendance must be Prop 215 patients or caregivers. That’s because you actually get to sample or “taste” the cannabis at this event and participate in the judging if you care to survey the finest strains of cannabis submitted by the expo growers. The $2,500 prize is nothing to sniff at, but even more stellar are the actual trophy cup and the bragging rights that come with being named Doesha’s ultimate strain. If judging isn’t your style, or once you’ve executed your judicial duties, check out the rest of the event which includes a funky “Garden of Weeden,” myriad vendors, informative speakers and live entertainment. Attendees can also experience the VIP Lounge and product samples, and get geared up to the next phase of networking and uniting, which takes patients and those in need one step closer a legalized medical marijuana future.
