The people have spoken! Presenting The Cannabist People’s Choice Awards 2017.
We asked you to vote for your favorite cannabis consumables, people and places for 2017. As we’ve had a little excitement in the weed world in January (looking at you, Jeff Sessions ), it’s taken us a little longer than we expected to tally the votes, so we thank you for your patience.
But without further delay, here are the best strains, edibles and vapes, according to The Cannabist’s esteemed readers.
