FEATURES

CANNABIS CUP SPECIAL
The 21st Annual HIGH TIMES Cannabis Cup featured the induction of Peter Tosh into the Counterculture Hall of Fame, along with incredible music, great vibes and some of the world’s best pot and hash. Senior Cultivation Editor Danny Danko breaks down our yearly coffeeshop crawl in Amsterdam, while drummer G. Moses describes the Cannabis Cup Band’s judging process and all the THC-soaked reggae highlights.
 

GROWING IN WONDERLAND
By Nico Escondido
Sure, it’s a Cup issue, but leave it to our zany Cultivation Editor to cook up a wacky adventure whilst supposedly judging the world’s finest strains. This time Nico swirls down a rabbit hole while trying to uncover the sensi side of Holland. His search pays off when he visits a harvest and finds crops of legendary buds—but as usual, there’s a strange twist to this ride. Take a trip beyond and come back to a new world!
 

STRAINS OF SUCCESS
Compiled by Nico Escondido
Well, what are you waiting for?! It’s a double-centerfold issue featuring all of the Cannabis Cup winners! This short guide to the strains will give you a little flavor from this year’s Cup … but do you really even read the words? Nah, just drool over the buds—we all do it. Get going.
 

STONER SNOWBOARDING 101
