(Plants were evaluated) on a range of criteria: color, aroma, shape of leaves and overall health. The plants are judged before they flower, and the type of high they produce isn’t a factor in their overall score.
Why isn’t Vermont doing this? They are oddly behind the curve on the pot-legalization scene.
