Vol. VI · The Hall of Cups

Every Cannabis Cup winner,
from Skunk #1 to today.

The High Times Cannabis Cup was inaugurated in Amsterdam in 1988 as the first competitive judging of cannabis strains in the world. For three decades it set the global benchmark for excellence in breeding — the trophy list reads as a working history of modern cannabis itself. Every winner below links to its full dictionary entry where one exists.
