Los Angeles was buzzing on Saturday, March 1st, as the highly anticipated Zalympix 2025 took over The Beehive, a vibrant Black-owned cannabis-friendly venue near South LA. This year’s event, featuring headlining performances by Gucci Mane and LaRussell, was the biggest yet, celebrating the best cannabis growers and brands in the industry.
Zalympix, a play on “za” (slang for cannabis) and “Olympics,” is more than just a weed event; it’s a prestigious competition. This year, 132 entries were meticulously judged by industry heavyweights like Berner, Dope As Yola, Doja, and J from Backpack Boyz, narrowing it down to the top 28 for public competition.
The winners represent a diverse mix of California’s cannabis scene, from LA’s own Seed Junky, LA Family Farms, and Ball Family Farms to Central California’s Bosky and Sonoma County’s Moon Valley. Here’s a breakdown of the top performers:
