On Friday, Revolution Hall hosted the Cultivation Classic, the biggest organic cannabis festival around. The event, co-produced by Willamette Week and Portland dispensary Farma, focuses on ethically-grown flower that's totally free of pesticides and mineral salt fertilizers.
In addition to speakers like Dr. Adie Poe, whose research shows that cannabis is the best way to combat the opioid epidemic, the event hosts what is likely the world's largest competition of flowers required to meet standards equivalent to organic certification. Nearly 100 flowers were entered (read about one man's failed quest to sample them all) judged by experts from the Oregon cannabis scene.
