Honor your favorite weed with Consumers’ Choice

The very first GreenState Consumers’ Choice contest is currently underway. Weed fans nationwide nominated their favorite regional brands, national hemp brands, accessories, and more. Now, those with the most nominations will advance to the final voting round, starting June 9th. 

Meanwhile, the California Cannabis Awards (CCA) at the California State Fair has partnered with GreenState in its own Consumers’ Choice Award. Every competitor in the CCA is eligible to win. Organizers wanted to bring another element to its storied contest through this addition, providing another accolade its contenders could achieve and putting the power in the people’s hands.

If you want to support your favorite California Cannabis Awards contestant and/or participate in the final ballot for the national GreenState Consumers’ Choice, here’s a step-by-step guide to both. California Cannabis Awards is first, followed by the broader GreenState awards.

GreenState Consumers’ Choice

GreenState is providing a platform for weed fans nationwide to honor their favorite brands. Dozens of companies across the country were nominated last month. However, only the brands with the most votes will be included in the final ballot, debuting June 9. 

Here’s how to help your favorite brand take top honors. Just like CCA, it’s better to do this on a computer over a phone, as the platform can be a tad finicky.

Go to GreenState.com/awards

Scroll down to find the group you want to vote for. There are groups for licensed cannabis brands in different regions (Northeast, South, Midwest, Northwest, and Southwest) as well as national hemp brands, accessories, and the “best of the rest,” which includes things like events and podcasts.

There are many groups and categories in the GreenState ballot; the top nominees will make it to the final ballot.

Scroll to the category you want to vote in. There’s a menu on the left side of the screen for easy access. You can vote in multiple groups and categories, if you’d like.

Once you’ve found your favorite competitor, click “vote.” You can vote once daily through June 26th.

If you want to encourage others to vote for your fave, click “share.” 

Create a link by clicking the envelope below the brand’s name. An email draft with a link should pop up. If it doesn’t work, ensure your pop-up filters are off.

You can share this link with your network far and wide. To post on Facebook or Twitter/X, click the respective icons.
