- Medical Marijuana for Restless Legs Syndrome
Restless legs syndrome can turn the quietest part of the day into the most uncomfortable. People with the condition may feel an overwhelming urge to move their legs just as they are trying to relax or fall asleep, often accompanied by crawling, pulling, aching,… Read more: Medical Marijuana for Restless Legs Syndrome - 1996 High Times Cannabis Cup: White Russian, De Dampkring and a New Era for Medical Marijuana
The 1996 High Times Cannabis Cup arrived at one of the most consequential moments in modern cannabis history.

The 1995 High Times Cannabis Cup was the moment when one of the most famous strains in cannabis history stepped onto the international stage.

The 1994 High Times Cannabis Cup was the year the Amsterdam competition stopped looking like an oversized private gathering and began resembling the international cannabis festival it would become. Held in November 1994, the seventh annual Cup coincided with the 20th anniversary of High… Read more: 1994 High Times Cannabis Cup: Jack Herer, 700 Judges and the Rise of the Amsterdam Cannabis Festival - Carbon Fiber
Carbon Fiber is the kind of cannabis that makes its identity clear before the first inhale. The flowers frequently mature to such a dark purple that the remaining green can appear almost woven through the surface, while an unusually thick trichome layer gives the… Read more: Carbon Fiber - Gummy Bears
Gummy Bears approaches candy-inspired cannabis from a different direction than many of the modern strains carrying similarly sugary names. Instead of building its identity around Cookies, Gelato, Runtz, or Zkittlez genetics, Elemental Seeds paired the fruit-rich Trueberry with Big Lemon, creating a marijuana hybrid… Read more: Gummy Bears - Morning Star
Morning Star belongs to an interesting class of marijuana strains that emerged before dessert genetics, candy terpenes, and ultra-high laboratory THC numbers came to dominate dispensary menus. Its personality is rooted in an older style of cannabis breeding: strong resin production, recognizable parent genetics,… Read more: Morning Star - Gelato 25
Before Gelato became one of the most copied names in modern cannabis, it was a room full of numbered plants in San Francisco. Gelato 25 was one of the selections that survived that original phenotype hunt, emerging from the same Sunset Sherbet × Thin… Read more: Gelato 25 - Florida Kush
Florida Kush carries one of the most important names in American cannabis history without being an old Florida landrace or a mysterious 1990s clone. Jungle Boys built the modern cultivar as a tribute to the Sunshine State roots of Triangle Kush, combining LA Kush… Read more: Florida Kush - Obama Runtz
Few marijuana strains have a backstory quite like Obama Runtz. The name became famous before growers could agree on exactly what plant it represented, exploding into cannabis culture after a viral 2020 video transformed “Obama Runtz” into an instantly recognizable piece of weed slang.… Read more: Obama Runtz - LAPD
LAPD is one of those cannabis strain names that works on two levels. On the surface, it borrows the initials of Los Angeles’ police department, but the letters also conveniently point back to the cultivar’s parents: LA Confidential and Purple Diesel. California Bean Bank… Read more: LAPD - Titan’s Haze
Titan’s Haze is what happens when a breeder decides not to tame Haze too aggressively. Many Dutch hybrids of the 1990s used Skunk genetics primarily to shorten flowering, reduce height, and make tropical-style cannabis more practical indoors. The Flying Dutchmen took a different approach… Read more: Titan’s Haze - New Purple Power
New Purple Power comes from a period when purple cannabis was still unusual enough to become a spectacle in a European garden. During the late 1980s, colorful marijuana imported or developed from West Coast genetics attracted considerable attention, but many of those plants were… Read more: New Purple Power - 1993 High Times Cannabis Cup: Northern Lights, Sensi Seeds and the Beginning of the Public Cup Era
The 1993 High Times Cannabis Cup marked one of the most important turning points in the event’s early history. The sixth annual competition, held in Amsterdam in November 1993, was the first Cup deliberately opened to a broader paying public, with roughly 50 judges… Read more: 1993 High Times Cannabis Cup: Northern Lights, Sensi Seeds and the Beginning of the Public Cup Era - 1992 High Times Cannabis Cup: Haze × Skunk, the Return of the Seed Banks and a Cup Ready to Grow
The 1992 High Times Cannabis Cup occupies a pivotal place in the competition’s early history. Held in Amsterdam in November, the fifth official Cup combined elements of the breeder-focused contests of 1988–1990 with the coffeeshop-centered experiment introduced in 1991. Seed companies returned, Amsterdam coffeeshops… Read more: 1992 High Times Cannabis Cup: Haze × Skunk, the Return of the Seed Banks and a Cup Ready to Grow - 1991 High Times Cannabis Cup: Free City, the Coffeeshop Crawl and the Birth of Public Judging
The 1991 High Times Cannabis Cup was not the largest or most elaborate of the early Cups, but it may have been the year that most fundamentally changed what the event would become. The fourth official competition, held in Amsterdam in November 1991, abandoned… Read more: 1991 High Times Cannabis Cup: Free City, the Coffeeshop Crawl and the Birth of Public Judging - Horchata
Horchata is one of those modern cannabis strains whose name makes sense before the first hit is even taken. Properly expressed flowers can carry a creamy sweetness reminiscent of vanilla milk, backed by dry spice, earth, and enough gasoline to remind you that this… Read more: Horchata - Sadhu
Sadhu is the kind of cannabis strain that makes more sense when viewed through geography than through modern dispensary branding. Mandala Seeds developed it as an homage to the mountain ganja traditions of India, drawing on high-altitude Himalayan genetics rather than the Cookies, Kush,… Read more: Sadhu - Arctic Sun
Arctic Sun belongs to a period of Dutch cannabis breeding when a successful hybrid was expected to do more than produce an impressive laboratory number. It needed vigor, manageable structure, substantial resin, worthwhile yield, and a character distinctive enough to survive among dozens of… Read more: Arctic Sun - Strawberries and Cream
Some cannabis strains acquire dessert names after growers notice a vague sweetness in the finished flower. Strawberries and Cream is considerably less abstract. At its best, the cultivar produces an unmistakable fresh-strawberry character layered over pine, earthy hash, and a softer sweetness that makes… Read more: Strawberries and Cream
