The future keeps happening in California first—this time with world-class weed in the most mainstream setting of all: The state fair.

In late June, the California State Fair started notifying the winners of its third annual Cannabis Awards, organized by Embarc. The medal holders on the podium represent the peak of the craft of cannabis flowers, extracts, and edibles in 2024.

The best part: You get to go out and smoke ‘em.

This year the state fair adds an on-site smoking section for the first time, as well as a place to buy the weed. Past fairs lacked full-service amenities—but nobody puts Mary Jane in the corner. She’s front and center now.

Even better, you can shop the state’s 1,000-plus stores and delivery services for the winning brand today. Like, right now. Leafly has more than 8,000 US stores and 8,500 strains on the site.

Remember: winning batches of weed are like sunsets—you get one chance and it’s gone forever. So savor them.

Here’s how to get all the good-good before it’s all gone.
