CHAMPS Returns to Las Vegas for 23rd Annual Show
Walking the aisles of the 23rd annual CHAMPS trade show in Las Vegas from Feb. 2-5, the consensus was clear among exhibitors and buyers: It was the busiest CHAMPS event yet, and it was a hit.

There was plenty of weed at the recent “Harvest Ball,” the first edition of the newly rechristened mid-December cannabis event which was focused on celebrating northern California’s sungrown harvest, formerly known as the Emerald Cup. (The official “Emerald Cup” happens in May in Los Angeles at Green Street Festival.) This non-Emerald Cup was just the “road to the Cup,” if you follow.

The joint ventures are cannabis businesses that must be at least 50 percent owned or controlled by an individual, or individuals, who…
