High Times Cannabis Cup Arizona People’s Choice Edition 2021 winners rejoice! Historically the Cannabis Cup included 28-35 highly educated judges.

Categories Varied From Hybrid Flower To Edibles
Cannabis Cup People’s Choice packed in 244 judges per category. Judges weighed in on eight categories from hybrid flower and pre-rolls to vape pens and edibles. Cannabis Cup defined “edibles” either as “gummies” or “non-gummies.” Non-gummy edibles are emerging more universally but remain unavailable in some legal countries. Multiple category entries present the magic of cannabis and allow competitors a greater chance at winning.
Since its beginning in Amsterdam in 1988, the Cannabis Cup had only identified the top three brands per category. In Arizona the People’s Choice Edition amplified high-grade products for first-place winners and all four runner-ups. People’s Choice Edition represents hope and recovery from Covid-19 for the cannabis industry. Increasing judges’ numbers to ensure the cup can still be won is invigorating for enthusiasts and professionals.
