LA Preps for The Biggest Zalympix Yet

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:45:46 GMT

Los Angeles is preparing to crown its latest Zalympix champion after the most competitive version of the contest yet. Over the past couple of years, Greenwolf’s Zalympix has firmly taken hold of the title of L.A.’s elite cannabis contest. This was even as it expanded throughout the state with Mainstage in Sacramento and The Outpost in Santa Rosa now taking part in the distribution of the boxes. I think one of the things that makes Zalympix so fun is the fact it’s genuinely highlighting the best of the best. It’s a pure representation of the Ethos that Greenwolf has used to fill the shelves at the shops since day one. It’s also refreshing to see a bunch of names in one place that are all crushing it during these dark times in cannabis.This rendition of Zalympix was the wildest yet. It was simply massive. The initial amount of over 120 entries is considerably larger than all the previous Zalympix boxes combined. The Greenwolf team selected 25 judges to go through the entries and whitt...

We’re very intrigued by The Jem and the Holograms Musical Parody (see photo) and Barry’s Gardening Service puppet show, but there are dozens more wonderfully weird offerings.We’re living in strange times and one of Fringe’s strengths has always been skewering pop culture’s surreal twists and turns. Fringe always seems to offer fresh perspectives on humanity and history as well personal stories and far out ideas, presented via comedy, drama and improv. Due to lack of resources, LA Weekly doesn’t get to cover L.A. theater like we used to, but ...
