The Weeking Open #1 marks a groundbreaking moment for cannabis culture in Scandinavia as it hosts the first-ever Cannabis Cup in Norway. The announced date is 18th of October 2025. This event brings together enthusiasts, cultivators, and advocates to celebrate cannabis and advance the conversation around legalization and responsible usage.
A unique approach to cannabis competitions
What sets Weeking Open #1 apart is its emphasis on anonymity. Participants and judges use aliases, ensuring impartiality and fairness. This discreet approach creates a safe and welcoming space for all, from newcomers to seasoned cultivators.
The competition includes categories such as:
- Flowers: Recognizing excellence in cultivation.
- Hash: Celebrating traditional and innovative techniques.
- Extracts: Showcasing cutting-edge methods.
- Edibles: Highlighting culinary artistry.
- CBD products: Focusing on therapeutic benefits.
Public engagement and social responsibility
A key feature is public participation, with select public judges scoring entries. This bridges the gap between the industry and its community. The event also partners with Folkehelseforbundet to promote a Social Club model for safe, regulated cannabis use, challenging stigmas and advancing legislative reform.
Opportunities for sponsors and advocates
The Weeking Open #1 offers sponsorship opportunities, enabling supporters to align with this historic event and contribute to its success. Sponsors play a vital role in normalizing cannabis culture while gaining visibility in a growing market.
Background and organizer information
A secretive Dr. Wexelsen is the founder and the event is co-organized by Roar Mikalsen, a prominent figure in Norway’s cannabis advocacy scene. Last year, Mikalsen opened a cannabis shop in central Oslo, which was shut down by the police within hours due to Norway’s strict cannabis laws. He is also the founder of Folkehelseforbundet, a cannabis social club focusing on health and rights. This organization plays a significant role in advocating for safe and regulated cannabis use, aligning closely with the values of the Scandinavian Cannabis Cup.
