About Us

Battle of the Buds, founded by David Clifford (aka Nugghugger) in April 2023, began as a showcase and friendly competition for New York's home cannabis growers. The event has since expanded, fostering a vibrant network of growers and consumers, while also providing education and promoting the cannabis plant. Our gatherings highlight and celebrate the craftsmanship of local growers, featuring expert judging of the finest cannabis and offering a platform for them to shine.

Looking ahead, we aim to grow further and make a broader impact across the state and nation, always committed to protecting the plant and supporting the passionate people who cultivate it. If you haven't joined us yet, we hope to see you soon!
