- California cannabis industry blazes path with exhibit at state fair
The California State Fair has moved its cannabis consumption lounge closer to purchase areas, reflecting growing acceptance of the $4 billion industry. The fair's cannabis exhibit, now in its fifth year, includes a competition that expanded in 2024 to judge products beyond flowers, such as pre-rolls and edibles. The fair's CEO emphasized cannabis as a major agricultural crop in California following its 2016 legalization.
