2009 Strains of the Year

Mon, Oct 19, 2009 12:24 pm


This year, there's only one "best of" list that matters: The annual HIGH TIMES ranking of the top 10 cannabis strains of the year.

Senior cultivation editor Danny Danko travels the world, smoking and sampling, to bring you this unparalleled list of the top names in herb. Where else can you read all about the most amazing marijuana varieties in the world—enticing hybrids like Space Bomb, A-Train and the Church—while drooling over the kind of full color pot photography that made HIGH TIMES famous in the first place?

The all-new December issue of HIGH TIMES also brings you our once-a-year Global Harvest Report, a well-informed round up of the cultivation scene in California, Canada, Italy, Colorado, South Africa, Mexico, Spain, Australia, and beyond!

Also this month, an exclusive report on the medical marijuana showdown taking place in Southern California, a smoky session with the Disco Biscuits, a ganja globetrekkers trip to Easter Island, an insider's look at a top Amsterdam coffeeshop, an all new movie from the Trailer Park Boys and an interview with top activist Mason Tvert, the man who helped make Denver a truly mile high city.

Plus, THMQ rounds up pot prices from around the country, Pix of the Crop highlights pot photos from real readers like you, our Freedom Fighter of the Month makes history, and our Lemon Skunk centerfold will make your face melt!

In the December 2009 HIGH TIMES, on newsstands now!

im sorry that seemed to be some misdirected anger. Not all of you suck. Danko and sub... you guys are badass. And yeahyeah Bobby Black, we all know you are a witch and love metal. That much is clear. Start covering some music that other people give 2 shits about. But other than that you are probably cool and have the best job in the world. I'm just saying... diversify. One Love. But you people posting... dumb dumb dumb.

I mean are you serious?!!! And dude trying to score bud... you are either the dumbest motherfucker or a cop. personally I think you are just a dumb fuck. Keep blazin and have a nice day.

The purpose of smoking at each event determines whether the action is percieved as an addiction, ritual, hobby, and/or medicine. Lets all agree, cannabis has a time and place. Those who are hi more than not, are missing a lot. Those who have never smoked, are missing more. The purpose of life is what you make it, but to see others and their purpose is to have more than a life. Think Be

Totally agree with johnny blaze. No one quits pot for no reason, Pots a great thing!! Fucking DAMN! expensive though. Can't tell you how much of my cash has been flushed down the drain by ganja, sure seems like a ridiculous thing to spend money on by a non smoker, but i can assure you its worth every penny(of course unless u ripped off).

As far as reviewing strains goes, I have no doubt the ones mentioned are bomb.

I too have reviewed a strain or 2 and imo, to each their own.

I'm all for a top ten strains list. But the statement about photos making High Times famous in the 1st place brings up a point.

The articles made High Times famous, I love good photography but the mag has to quit treating stoners like horny teenagers. I love the mag and the cause, but get back to your roots High Times. Radical articles (not shock value, but real articles), and photos that show more than a pot plant. This is a lifestyle mag, give us more of the life. Peace and respect.

I've got to admit it makes for good entertainment though. Keep it up buddy, the website is kicking ass with the clicks! Maybe we should raise the ad rates?

Ladies and gentlemen, presented for your entertainment, the return of "Truth Squad" aka the biggest High Times fan in the world.

Doesn't he sound like a disgruntled former employee of the mag? This guy comes to the Cup almost every year and yet badmouths it the whole time online, cowardly hiding behind the internet. He's as quiet as a church mouse at the event however, lurking in the background watching everything, ready to report to anyone who cares a.k.a. fellow trolls.

Can you hear the jealousy in his words? He loves the mag so much that he hates it. Must be torture. Anyway, I'll keep living my dream life with my dream job having fun and smoking bud for a living and he'll keep biting at our heels while truly knowing the pain of loving too an inanimate object just a little too much.

How can someone who smokes cannabis be so miserable?

Thanks for all the kind words! See you at the Cup!

Really?~~~~Maybe if you get bored you could e-mail im me and catch me up politically, because Im lost. It seems like Danny has upset many people and his work is wonderful. Without I would have never gained the knowledge to confidently grow.

Subcool~~~hit me up on yahoo

Danny Danko~~~~would love to be inside your world! I have always had this dream to be featured in hightimes and envy you for the work you do. It seems as though there is tons of controversy that surrounds you at all times. Why?

Dude, what the fuuck are you talking about.

I can tell you that Space Bomb is actually incredible reefer and it totally earned a place on that list.
I have no ads and no alliance with Hightimes or there Cannabis Cup.
I attended once and saw that I did not have the budget required to play with the big boys.

Sub

Really?

Oct 19 2009, 4:00 pm

Does ANYONE really believe this anymore?
Is this now Danny Danko shouts out his friends?
Or is it that nobody even pays attention at all?
C99 from Dr. Greenthumb? This is just outright insulting!
Is the Good Dr. delivering a good advertising budget next year?
And Romulan X Hashplant by Next Generation Seeds??? Now add BC Mango by BC Bud Depot and it seems the Canadians are greasing some palms! These are DECENT strains but TOP TEN!! Has Danny Stanko stopped smoking? I know Danny Dank was the grower(?) and Danny Danko the consumer but this is Bizarre!
DNA always gets ink so their Lemon Skunk is no surprise BUT interesting enough there are better Lemon Skunks! Incidentally, Green House Seed Company who makes a better Lemon Skunk was given a nod for their The Church, a decent enough strain but one that Arjan has been pushing recently and Voila, IT appears on the top ten strains! Adams A-Train and Subcools are bones. Plain and simple, Adam does a LOT for the Cannabis Cup and Subcool and MizJill bitch and moan whenever High Times overlooks them. But just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water, they come up with VISC (An Emery friend Knockoff seed company) and Delta-9 Labs who thankfully have pulled their 8 week Columbian Red pure! Now they have taken to crossing others hard work and thinking they are breeders! The point is I am SURE, EVERY SINGLE GROWER would come up with a different list, a better list, because we wouldn't have to lie and cheat to sell a seed! Don't for a minute think that seed selling isn't big business. That is why Dutch TV caught Arjan cheating! That is why they throw more and more money at tricking and fooling judges into thinking the bigger party or the bigger giveaway is the best way to get their vote for best grass or hash! Led by Arjan, they know judges are stupid and they exploit that! It seems to me, with the current talent less hack crew they have in there, they are expanding that to the magazine and their "lists" The 2 ft gnome Bobby Black and the Short Squat Troll Danko have taken over the asylum, head for the hills!
