The 2000 High Times Cannabis Cup opened the competition’s second decade with a deliberate attempt to reset an event that had become both enormously popular and increasingly controversial.

Franco Loja was an Italian cannabis breeder, cultivator, genetic collector, documentary personality and longtime partner of Amsterdam’s Green House Seed Company. To many growers, however, he was simply known as Franco the Strain Hunter. During roughly two decades in the cannabis industry, Loja became… Read more: Franco Loja: The Strain Hunter Who Helped Preserve Cannabis Genetics - Arjan Roskam: The Entrepreneur Who Turned Amsterdam Cannabis Into a Global Brand
Few people have been as visible in the international cannabis industry as Arjan Roskam, the Dutch entrepreneur behind the Green House coffeeshops, Green House Seed Company and the Strain Hunters documentary project. Since the early 1990s, Roskam has occupied an unusual position somewhere between… Read more: Arjan Roskam: The Entrepreneur Who Turned Amsterdam Cannabis Into a Global Brand - Magic Marker
Few cannabis names describe their aroma as accurately as Magic Marker. Fresh flower can carry a penetrating chemical quality reminiscent of uncapping a permanent marker, but underneath that unusual top note sits a much broader mixture of creamy sherbet, citrus rind, dark fruit, spice,… Read more: Magic Marker - Breaking Point
Breaking Point sounds aggressive, but its personality is considerably more nuanced than the name suggests. The first impression is often rich rather than sharp: roasted sweetness, creamy pastry, citrus peel, and a darker fuel note can overlap in the same flower. Break open a… Read more: Breaking Point - Red Pop
Red Pop occupies an unusual corner of modern cannabis breeding: rather than relying on heavy fuel, dessert dough, or tropical fruit to make its identity obvious, it aims for the unmistakable character of red strawberry soda. Open properly cured flower and the comparison becomes… Read more: Red Pop - Gas Face
Gas Face does not hide what kind of cannabis it wants to be. The aroma hits with the sharpness of fresh fuel before sour lime, mint, vanilla, damp earth, and sweet pastry begin separating from the background. Dense flowers can appear almost armored in… Read more: Gas Face - Zangria
Zangria is one of those marijuana varieties whose aroma makes its pedigree recognizable before anyone explains the genetics. Open a properly cured jar and the first impression can resemble crushed fruit candy, tart berries, citrus peel, and grape syrup layered over cool mint, cookie… Read more: Zangria - Tea Time
Tea Time belongs to the generation of cannabis hybrids in which flavor selection became every bit as important as raw potency. Wizard Trees paired Zkittlez with RS11 to amplify the saturated candy character of both genetic families without sacrificing flower structure or production. The… Read more: Tea Time - Night Shade
Night Shade emerged from Barney’s Farm during a period when Himalayan cannabis genetics still held a prominent place in European breeding. Rather than leaning on the candy sweetness, Cookies ancestry, or extreme THC claims that define many newer cultivars, this older indica takes its… Read more: Night Shade - Slow Lane
Slow Lane does not rush to show everything it has. Sweet cream may be the first thing noticed when the jar opens, followed by vanilla, lemon, dark earth, and a peppery trace of gas that becomes considerably louder once the flower is broken apart.… Read more: Slow Lane - Cannabis in the UK: History, Culture, Law, and the Evolution of British Marijuana
The history of cannabis in the United Kingdom begins centuries before marijuana became associated with prohibition, reggae, psychedelia, or modern medical cannabis. For much of British history, Cannabis sativa was simply hemp, an agricultural crop valued for strong fibre, rope, sailcloth, fishing nets, textiles,… Read more: Cannabis in the UK: History, Culture, Law, and the Evolution of British Marijuana - Nevil Schoenmakers: The Breeder Who Helped Build the Modern Cannabis Seed Industry

Many people who use marijuana for sleep are not actually struggling to fall asleep.

Cannabis edibles can seem especially attractive to older adults.
