Celebrating California’s Best & WeHo’s Finest

West Hollyweed Awards

Welcome To California’s Cannabis Oasis

West Hollywood stands out as a trailblazer in the U.S. cannabis industry. With a dense concentration of state-licensed dispensaries and the nation’s first municipally licensed cannabis consumption lounges, West Hollywood is redefining what’s possible for cannabis hospitality. 

The city’s progressive policies have created a safe, vibrant, and inclusive environment where consumers, brands, and innovators come together. Much like Amsterdam, it offers one of the few places in America where adults can legally purchase and enjoy cannabis in vibrant, social settings—making it the perfect backdrop for a groundbreaking cannabis event. This makes West Hollywood the ideal stage for a groundbreaking cannabis event that fuses culture, commerce, and community.

The West Hollyweed Awards is a landmark event debuting in May 2026, designed to showcase California’s leading cannabis industry brands and the innovative spirit of West Hollywood’s retail outlets and lounges.
