Cannabis Cup, Amsterdam.

Tips for your trips. Tourist information. Official websites.

The Cannabis Cup is an annual event that takes place in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is a well-known event in the cannabis community where participants can sample and judge various strains of cannabis from different coffee shops in the city. However, it’s important to note that the Cannabis Cup has faced some changes and challenges in recent years.

In 2017, the city of Amsterdam decided to ban tourists from accessing cannabis-selling coffee shops, limiting their services to residents of the Netherlands. As a result, the traditional Cannabis Cup as it was previously known has evolved and is now organized as more of a private event with restricted access.

To stay updated on the latest information regarding the Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam, it is recommended to visit the official website of the High Times magazine.

The High Times Cannabis Cup is a cannabis festival held each November in Amsterdam. A team of VIP judges decides which seed company has grown the best indica, sativa and hybrid strain and which company has produced the best Nederhash (hashish that is produced only in the Netherlands) and best imported hash.

High Times is an American monthly magazine and cannabis brand with offices in Los Angeles and New York City. Founded in 1974 by Tom Forçade, the magazine advocates the legalization of cannabis as well as other counterculture ideas.

In January 2017, the magazine announced it would be relocated to an office in Los Angeles permanently. This followed the legalization of marijuana in several west coasts states, including California. Later in 2017, High Times was acquired by a group of investors led by Oreva Capital.

High Times acquired cannabis media company Green Rush Daily Inc. on April 5, 2018. The deal was valued at $6.9 million. Green Rush Daily founder Scott McGovern joined the magazine as Senior Executive Vice President.

Please note that as regulations and policies regarding cannabis can change, it’s advisable to check with official sources or contact local authorities for the most up-to-date and accurate information regarding cannabis-related events and regulations in Amsterdam.
