The SoCal Cannabis Cup, began with a dank smoke cloud stretching from Steven Hager. It traveled to areas far and wide, bringing folks to find out what the heck was going on. And during a chilly Amsterdam November, his Cannabis Cup finally came to fame. Judges and cannabis users from around the world came to sample cannabis, its paraphernalia, products, and designs.
There had been only a few categories with contestants competing to see who would reign supreme. This was including best products in Glass, Hash, Nederhash (Netherlands Hash), and booth.
Judges across the world found themselves deeply involved in future cannabis products, helping to reinvent and create new products from seed to finished result. The Cannabis Cup would become a bi-yearly event to openly enjoy the positivity of cannabis and learn its capabilities.
And, of course, relish in the effects of the samples.
Today, The Cannabis Cup is held in over a dozen major cities, including in America. Leaving the Netherlands for the first time In 2010, America made a decision to bring the festivities to California to celebrate the highly popular cannabis products.
This year’s SoCal Cannabis Cup brings the same event with new and interesting brands, products, and companies. All this with the excitement of 420 cannabis deals and events since the event starts on April 20th!
