High Times has officially announced the High Times 2024 Oklahoma Cannabis Cup.
“Oklahomans, get ready to prepare your body, mind, and soul to take part in the High Times Cannabis Cup!”, High Times says in their announcement. “We’re thrilled to highlight some of Oklahoma’s best products that have proven to be reliable and potent medicine for patients across the state.”
High Times says “We’re not hiring cannasseurs to do the job though—that responsibility is reserved for judges everywhere to determine.”
For those interested in judging, High Times says to “mark your calendars for July 19, which is the first day that cup kits will go on sale with our intake partner and retail partners, all of which will be announced soon.”
The judging portal will be open between July 19-October 11, “leaving plenty of time for judges to meticulously review each product in their kit.”
Brands receive a report of all judges scores and comments after the awards have concluded, “so your voice as a judge is immensely important.”
Below are the catagories up for consideration:
- Indica Flower
- Sativa Flower
- Hybrid Flower
- Pre-Rolls
- Infused Pre-Rolls
- Sativa Concentrates
- Indica Concentrates
- Non-Solvent Concentrates
- Sativa Vape Pens
- Indica Vape Pens
- Edibles: Gummies
- Edibles: Non-Gummies
- Topicals + Tinctures + Capsules

“Once all is said and done, it’s time to get pumped for a digital awards show on Facebook on October 20 (all dates are subject to change)” says High Times. “This conclusion to another year celebrating Oklahoman cannabis is the best way to hear about each and every brand and product that participated.”
Oklahoma legalized medical cannabis in June 2018 when voters approved of State Question 788. Since then many changes have been made to the cannabis industry, including an ongoing moratorium on new licenses until at least 2026.
High Times’ first introduction of the High Times Cannabis Cup in Oklahoma was in 2019 and featured 16 categories. Back then, strains such as Forbidden Fruit, Tropicana Cookies, and Gelato Cake were all the rage, with concentrate winners made from Grape Ape, Oklahoma Mimosa, Fruity Pebbles, and Purple Punch.
High Times says “After the pandemic, we began to harness the power of the people to judge their own products with our first High Times Cannabis Cup Oklahoma: People’s Choice Edition 2020. Winning strains included Garlic Breath, Biscotti, Lilac Diesel, with equally prominent Garlic Breath wins in concentrates as well, among many other great products.
The High Times Cannabis Cup Oklahoma: People’s Choice Edition 2021 followed up with another great year, and strain wins from the popular Wedding Crasher, Gelato, Sunset Runtz, Mimosa, Strawberry Banana, and concentrates dominated through Amnesia Haze diamonds, Peanut Butter Breath live resin, SK Smash live rosin batter, and so much more.”
