Oregon Medical Cannabis Awards winners announced

Stanford Rolls to Victory at Medical Cannabis Awards
December 14, 2008 - Willamette Week

Former WW coverboy Paul Stanford swept the annual Oregon Medical Cannabis Awards on Saturday night, winning the top three prizes for buds grown in his Felony Flats garden.

Stanford, who runs a growing chain of medical-marijuana clinics, took first place with his version of a strain known as Lemon Pledge, second with a strain called Train Wreck, and third with his Dynamite.

He accepted his glass trophies in front of 100 people who attended the awards banquet at the Ambridge Events Center in Northeast Portland. Stanford also won an honorable mention for best flavor with his Green Lantern.

"I'm amazed and humbled," Stanford told WW after sweeping the field of 27 entries from Oregon's top medical cannabis growers. "We did a lot better job mixing our dirt this year."

Stanford has entered the contest before but has never broken into the top three. Top honors usually go to Long Creek grower David Verstoppen, who has won first place for the past three years with his Dynamite and Medicine Woman strains.

But this year Verstoppen had to settle for honorable mention for outstanding aroma.

"Competition is stiff," said a deflated Verstoppen, who made the five-hour drive from his Eastern Oregon home to attend the awards. "These growers out there, and the genetics, it's hard to say who's going to win."

But Stanford owes his sweep in part to Verstoppen. His third-place Dynamite strain was grown from a cutting from one of Verstoppen's plants.

Stanford's victory was all the more remarkable because his top two strains were "re-vegetated," meaning they were the second harvest from the plant. Most growers harvest a plant only once, then chop it down, believing that a second harvest is not as strong. Stanford proved that perceived wisdom wrong. He also noted that his crops are 100 percent organic.

Stanford told the crowd the police visited his outdoor grow site in outer East Portland three times this year, but he refused them entry each time.

Besides growing some outstanding ganja, Stanford is planning a 2010 ballot measure to tax and regulate marijuana.

"The fight goes on," he told the crowd, "and we're gonna legalize it."

He has been a grower and activist for over 20 years. And he runs the largest chain of medical-marijuana clinics in the US with branches in Honolulu, LA, Denver, and Seattle.
Seems like a winner to me.
