Colorado's Cannabis Crown was a major success with a local strain given top honors.

The medical marijuana in Steamboat Springs is tops in Colorado. And that’s not just blowing smoke.

Local dispensary Rocky Mountain Remedies won top honors for the best strain of medical marijuana at the inaugural Western Slope Cannabis Crown in Aspen during the weekend.

The Kandy Kush strain, grown in Steamboat, beat out entries from 140 other participants and won the growers a trip to the 23rd annual Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam this November.

Kevin Fisher, who owns the business with Ryan Fisher, no relation, said the strain is particularly beneficial to patients with nausea and pain and that it acts as an appetite stimulant.

The strain, a cross between four other strains, was developed in cooperation with gardener Ray Thomas.

Kevin Fisher said that unlike many “specialty strains” that have flavors such as coffee or fruits, the Kandy Kush tastes like, well, marijuana.

“It has a real stinky, dank flavor to it,” Kevin Fisher said.

The Cannabis Crown, held at The Gant in Aspen on April 17 and 18, hosted about 3,000 medical marijuana cardholders for networking and seminars, Kevin Fisher said.

It's an in house strain at the dispensary down the street from my house. Tastes really kushy and makes your mouth water. The smoke is heavy and hits you fast.

Kandy Kush won 1st place at the Emerald Cup in Mendocino last December. The guy who won got his clone from Good Karma Growers. Must be some good stuff.

DNA Genetics/ Reserva Privada has a Kandy Kush also, I just finished growing a skunk cross of it. So my Kandy Kush is a three way cross of OG Kush, Train Wreck, and Skunk.

I wonder where they got theirs. Someone should get on the name aspect of things here. Having two different strains with the same name can be quite confusing.

Anyone know what the actual cross is?

I think the quality of this stuff changes depending on the crop/grower. What they hand picked for judges samples is probably a lot different from what you buy in their store. Why do we have these cups again?
