The Annual Mardi Grass

Each year, the Mardi Grass festival is held in Nimbin. Mardi Grass began in 1993, and is held to protest, educate and celebrate all things cannabis related. In the past 40 years of Mardi Grass, the organisation has brought education to cannabis in medical, recreational, spiritual and industrial means.

The Hemp Olympics

The Hemp Olympics is an event that is part of the annual Mardi Grass Festival in Nimbin. Events include throwing bongs as far as you can, rolling joints to the best of your ability and an iron man type course where participants crawl through lantana while dragging a bag of fertiliser. Sounds pretty epic to me.

Nimbin Weed

The weed in Nimbin is usually bush but you can source hydro too if you stumble across the right person. But generally, Nimbin Weed is pretty darn good. You can thank the local hippies for that as generations of hard work has been put into breeding the best bush buds in Nimbin.
