Vital is proud to be one of the pioneering edible brands in Arizona. Crafted in 2011, Vital has done a lot over the past 11 years when it comes to innovating their line of edible offerings.

Most recently, Vital is proud to say that they are an award-winning brand that got the chance to represent at the Errl Cup in 2022, receiving awards for 1st place on two different gummy formulations.  

But what is the Errl Cup? Find out about that and everything that Vital offers Arizonians below.

Vital - 1st Place Winners for The Errl Cup 2022

The Errl Cup is a competition created by Jim Morrison meant to elevate cannabis companies who do right by patients and consumers while giving them the chance to expose companies that don't. Because of this idea, Errl Cup isn't like most other cannabis events.

Judges don't pay for their boxes and the event is free to attend. When cannabis brands and companies enter their products, those products are submitted for testing. Each product submitted for testing is sent in under a number as the identifier, ensuring the testing lab isn't able to favor one submission over another. Submitted dispensaries undergo a series of secret shopping experiences by patients chosen by the Errl Cup to verify products entered are actually available on dispensary shelves, and that they pass several other requirements for entry.  

The actual event is a 12-hour cannabis festival that is available for patients with a valid MMJ card or anyone over the age of 21. The area is lined with booths showcasing everything canna-related from gear like t-shirts to devices and glassware to infused products and much, much more. They have live, local entertainment to keep the party bumping while you partake in the goodies you are allowed to bring to the event, making this a one-of-a-kind experience for Arizona's cannabis community.

Some of the latest winners at the Errl Cup include our very own Vital gummies which took home the gold in two edible categories - sweet edibles, and CBD edibles. Keep reading to get all the details of not only the award-winning selections but the entire line of Vital edibles.
