Cannabis Cup

Cannabis Cup: A five-day "harvest festival" in Amsterdam

Marijuana activist and editor of High Times, Steven Hager:

"I started the festival 21 years ago to establish a worldwide standard for quality of cannabis and it is held every Thanksgiving [fourth Thursday of November], and basically growers and breeders come to compete for the prize of the best harvest. If many other plants have harvest festivals then why shouldn't cannabis? Cannabis is on of the most revered plants on the planet despite the propaganda and campaign of persecution against it. And now we have an opportunity for people to get together and celebrate the plant and select the finest flower for the year. Do we have fun? Sure, there's a lot of pot smoking going on."
