CANNABIS CUP HEADS FOR CALIF.

High Times magazine's flagship event, the U. S. Cannabis Cup, is 
relocating from Colorado to California next month.

Colorado's first-of-itskind marijuana laws allowed the event to grow 
into the largest High Times Cannabis Cup in the world, drawing up to 
35,000 visitors each day in April 2015 at the Denver Mart in Adams 
County. But after Adams County commissioners last month rejected High 
Times' permit for this year's U. S. Cannabis Cup, organizers 
announced a tentative move to Pueblo-where the Cup ran into 
regulatory issues and concerns over timing.

The Cannabist obtained an e-mail allegedly sent by a High Times 
staffer to businesses that had purchased exhibition space at the U. 
S. Cannabis Cup said the Cup will be held April 15- 17 in Southern California.

An awards show will be added to a scheduled one-day Denver event April 19.
