This year saw the first-ever High Times People’s Choice Cannabis Cup in Arizona bringing together industry leaders from around the world and using over 1,400 judges in the process. The Cannabis Cup winners were chosen from 120 entries across 45 different brands. We are proud to announce that Shango has come out as a winner in the 2021 High Times Cannabis Cup in Arizona and would like to say a huge thank you to all of our supporters.
The 2021 High Times Cannabis Cup, Arizona
The Cannabis Cup is the world’s longest-running competition for marijuana products. During its lifespan, the Cup has seen everything from the days of prohibition to legalization and now today’s more accepting climate. Founded by former High Times magazine editor Steve Hager, the Cannabis Cup has become the world’s number one cannabis championship since its creation in 1988 in Amsterdam. The competition is well-regarded as the top competition for cannabis producers around the world, showing its strength in elevating award-winning products to the top of the market time and time again. The Cup has also been hosted as a festival in cities the world over, playing host to some of the hottest musical acts as celebration headliners, including the Wu Tang Clan and Nas. As might be expected, this year the Cup was run a little bit differently. In a historic first for the Cup, a public vote was held, rather than using a panel of judges. Due to city and state lockdowns in the US, the vote was thrown open to the people, and the 2021 People’s Choice edition of the Cannabis Cup was the end result.
