FAQs
Q: WHY SOLVENTLESS?
A: Unpurged products pose a hazard of residue or potentially hazardous solvents for inhalation, which makes solventless extracts the preferred concentrate.
For this reason, at the Solventless Cup, we have chosen to exclusively highlight solventless products. This will increase awareness of solventless processing techniques and safe & healthy consumption methods.
Q: WHY WESTERN NEW YORK?
A: New York legalized cannabis in 2021. However, with many delays, the retail market was slow to gain momentum. While this delay persisted, Native American territories licensed legal dispensaries on their land.
Now, in 2024, the state has around 275 registered recreational dispensaries, with an additional 150 (or more) registered with the sovereign nations. With over 425 legal dispensaries across the state, over ⅓ of them operate out of Western New York.
Q: WHAT IS PEOPLE’S CHOICE?
A: We recognize that, in addition to providing superior products, customer service and education are essential. Solventless Cup has developed an approach for customers to express their appreciation. Five People’s Choice categories include “Most Knowledgeable Staff”, “Best Dab-Tender”, “Best Dab-Bar”, “Best Glass Artist”, and “Best Solventless Menu”.
Q: HOW DO I NOMINATE OR VOTE?
A: Nomination and voting cards will be available at all 150+ dispensaries in WNY. Simply scan the QR code to nominate or vote for the best in each respective category.
Q: WHEN CAN I VOTE?
A: The People’s Choice nominations will open for 2 weeks on June 7th, with the voting round commencing on June 25th, for another 2 weeks, leading up to the award ceremony on Wednesday, July 10, 2024. This 4-week period enables an effective marketing campaign.
Q: HOW OFTEN CAN I VOTE?
A: Every member of the cannabis community is welcome to vote once every 24-hour for their favorite nominees.
