Marijuana Plants Set To Compete At The Oregon State Fair

Move over, giant pumpkins. Marijuana is taking over the competitive agriculture exhibits at this year's Oregon State Fair, which runs from August 26-September 5 in Salem. The fair's organizers are celebrating legalization by inviting growers to bring their best cannabis plants to the show, according to Portland FOX affiliate KPTV. 

But the plants won't be graded on how high they make you. In fact, they won't have any buds at all. The competition is restricted to non-flowering plants. Instead of THC content, the plants will be judged based on appearance, aroma and trimming. So the competition is purely aesthetic. And it's for adults only. The greenhouse showcasing cannabis submissions will be limited to patrons 21 or older. There will also be extra security on hand to make sure the competitive plants don't fall into the wrong hands.

It's anyone's guess who will win the fair's first title for best cannabis...
