The 7th annual Patients’ Choice San Francisco - a medical weed contest and celebration - is shaping up in the Bay Area this week. The deadline for dispensaries to enter strains and products to win one of sixteen awards was Tuesday. Judge’s Packets filled with samples from contestants are nearly sold out at $300. They ship tomorrow and are quite the bargain.

The 7th Annual San Francisco Patients' Choice Private Awards Ceremony is scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 30, 2013 at Lounge8four7, located at 847 Howard Street. All proceeds from the contest benefit National Americans for Safe Access, California NORML and Marijuana Policy Project.
