In 1988, American journalist Steven Hager founded the High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam, naming it after a magazine he was then editing. It was the first Cannabis Cup of its kind and a minor sensation. Since then, a competition takes place every year in November in Amsterdam, where the best cannabis strains are evaluated by a jury and winners are selected in various categories such as the best Dutch or the best imported marijuana. Until 2012, the event was exclusively held in the Dutch capital since marijuana consumption is allowed there. This changed in 2012, when the US states of Washington and Colorado also legalized marijuana consumption and the event could legally be held in the metropolises of Denver and Seattle. There are also awards in the state of California, specifically in San Francisco and Los Angeles. However, since only consumption for medical purposes is allowed by the authorities there, only such visitors who are allowed to consume marijuana for medical purposes can participate in the event. The award in Amsterdam will take place this year between November 24 and 28, the next Cup in Denver next year from April 19 to 20, and the one in Seattle from September 6 to 7. In the field of medical marijuana, the Treating Yourself Expo held annually in summer in Toronto, Canada is also well known worldwide.
The winners of the annual awards are the absolute best the market has to offer and are of undisputed quality. For instance, in recent years, famous strains such as Amnesia Lemon, a cross between Skunk #1 and Amnesia Haze, which managed to secure the coveted prize in 2007 in Amsterdam, were able to prevail. In 2010, also in Amsterdam, the popular Acapulco Gold, which owes its name to the golden glow of its flowers, secured the prize as the best Cannabis Sativa. The AK47 Reg., which is particularly popular among private growers mainly because of its relatively simple cultivation while maintaining high quality and THC content, has even managed to make it into the top 3 in various categories at several competitions, including Cannabis Indica, Cannabis Sativa, and Hybrid. In 2010, it even managed to secure first place in the Sativa category at the Treating Yourself Expo. The seeds of these and many other winners of the major Cannabis Cups of the past years can be ordered on the Mr. Hemp website.

Night Queen- very physical
Night Queen is a very rare species in the cannabis world. Since the eighties, it has disappeared from the market time and again and due to demand has been brought back from obscurity. A winner at the Cannabis Cup and among many connoisseurs. A typical weed that knocks you off your feet. Extremely physically emphasized and absorbing. After consumption, the world is just fine as it is. A typical old-school Indica plant. Wonderfully spicy in taste, robust in cultivation, and strong in effect. A perfect mix for those who appreciate and love the physical stoned effect. Those who master the SOG or SCROG method should also apply this technique. The yields can thus be optimally increased and reward you with the best quality. But also beginners who are taking their first steps will find in this strain a tolerant companion that happily forgives mistakes.
