01Beginnings
The one source we have is a Vice article from March 15, 2018, written by Jose Luis Martinez Limon. It describes the event as the first Copa Cannabica in Mexico, a competition meant to recognise Mexican cannabis growers.1
The article calls it a first edition and gives the date as March 18, 2018.1 The sources do not say whether it was later held under the name Copa Jalisco, so treat that label as the name of this page, not something the article confirms.
02The story
The setting was an avocado farm about half an hour from downtown Guadalajara, in Jalisco.1
The organiser named is Dany Grower, working with a group of people who shared the same ideal.1 The sources do not say how the group formed or how long they planned the event.
03Culture and the contest
According to the article, samples came from several Mexican states and from other countries too.1 A jury was to taste the entries and pick a winner in each category.1
Winning strains were to get an international certification through the Trichome Assurance Grading (TAG) process.1
The judges named include Juan Vaz from Uruguay, Gaston Durana from Argentina, Nico Malazarte from Brazil and Max Montrose, described as president of the Trichome Institute in the USA, alongside experienced Mexican judges.1
It was billed as a private event with a guest list and a 200-peso donation.1
04Where it stands now
The article was written before the event, so it names no winners and says nothing about how the day went.1 The sources do not say what the categories were, how many entries there were, or who won.
05What comes next
The sources do not say whether a second edition happened or is planned. The only thing they confirm is that the 2018 event was presented as the first one.1
