US STATE HOLDS MARIJUANA COMPETITION

A cannabis festival in the US ski resort town of Aspen this spring
will allow growers to put their strains in a contest.

The Western Slope Cannabis Crown will have about 50 medical marijuana
growers enter their strains of weed.

The marijuana strains will be diagnostically tested for their THC
levels.

Growers will also be able to sell to medical marijuana patients and
attendees can vote on a "people's choice" strain.

The Cannabis Crown organizer, Bobby Scurlock, says about 1,500 tickets
have been sold for the two-day event, the Post Independent reported.
