NECANN NJ 2025 Cannabis Industry Convention Features New Cup of Champions

NECANN hosted its inaugural Cup of Champions in New Jersey at the Atlantic City Convention Center during its 6th annual cannabis industry convention, recognizing top cannabis products and dispensaries across the Garden State.

The competition featured blind judging overseen by Mike Clinton, with Holistic Solutions serving as the intake partner for judge's kits. Unlike NECANN's New England events, home growing categories weren't included due to New Jersey's laws making home cultivation a felony. The awards ceremony recognized excellence across multiple categories including flower, concentrates, edibles, and dispensary operations.

• Garden Greens' Holy Fudge took the overall winner title, while Joyleaf Dispensary earned Best Dispensary in New Jersey
• Goodies dominated flower categories, winning first place in hybrid, indica, and sativa divisions with strains like Tiramisu and Peaches
• High Rollers lounge hosted an independent brand showcase afterparty, offering attendees sample products from emerging New Jersey cannabis companies
• Twelve dispensaries received 5-star ratings, highlighting the growing quality and professionalism of New Jersey's cannabis retail market
