C.R. Roberts with The News Tribune reports that the Northwest Cannabis Classic is seeking out judges to sample flower and edibles during its two-day stop in Tacoma this August.

The event is scheduled for Aug. 28 and 29. It’ll be held in Tacoma’s historic armory at 1001 S Yakima Ave., which ironically enough used to be a jail.

Inside, about 100 vendors from every corner of the industry will set up booths for the public to explore and learn about business opportunities, cannabis culture and Washington’s evolving legal marijuana market.

Curious about how to properly trim a bud or how complex extraction processes work? You’ll find things like that and much more at the Cannabis Classic.

The tour will also make its way to Portland on Nov. 7 and 8, with a cannabis trade show and competition. More than 150 vendors are expected to show up to that one.
