The 2021 Massachusetts High Times Cannabis Cup Results are in…

There are “People's Choice” awards for everything under the sun from movies to beef jerky and everything in between. The award presentation I’ve been anticipating is the “2021 Massachusetts High Times Cannabis Cup People Choice” results.

I have attended the Cannabis Cub in Amsterdam a number of times well over a decade ago.  At the time Amsterdam was the only place in the world you could walk into a coffee shop order a gram of sticky bud or hash and sit and enjoy your coffee as you have never enjoyed your coffee before.  Unlike dispensaries in the States, you can actually sit and enjoy your weed where you just bought it, and yes with coffee and other baked goods if you get the munchies.  Each coffee shop has its own unique character and style.  From the hipster shop to the coffee shop the head-bangers would frequent, there’s something for everyone.

The radio station I was working at in Providence would put a bunch of listeners on a plane and head to Amsterdam every year.  I made 5 of those excursions. We would broadcast live from a number of different coffee shops during the trip.  The Cannabis Cup was something special to attend.  The Amsterdam Cannabis Cup is the Super Bowl of the cannabis industry.  For a weed grower being awarded the Cannabis Cup trophy was like being handed the Vince Lombardi trophy.

Now that one of mother nature’s finest plants is totally legal in 18 states and growing (pun intended), the Cannabis Cup has gone global with major events in the United States. Like everything in the last two years, the pandemic has had an effect on the bigger weed-type conventions and competitions.  High Times was able to navigate the pandemic masterfully by taking the People's Choice concept to each individual legal state in the country, including Massachusetts.  It was a brilliant way to highlight and market all types of marijuana grown or marijuana products produced solely here in the state while at the same time rebranding the Cannabis Cup in America and regionally.

Usually, up to 35 expert judges would determine the Cannabis Cup rankings.  For the first time this year, High Times opened up the judging process to members of the public offering for purchase through Massachusetts dispensaries 224 kits per category.  These kits would include a sample of the finest product from each Massachusetts entry.  If you purchased the Sativa flower kit you would get samples of only Sativa bud.  Vape-only vape products… editable kit only edibles, and so on.

Well, wait no longer…the winners of the 2021 Massachusetts High Times Cannabis Cup People’s Choice were announced on Sunday.  Congratulations to Berkshire Roots, Insa, Fernway, and Pioneer Valley Cannabis Company for representing western Mass with awards in the "2021 Massachusetts Cannabis Cup People's Choice Awards."  See the complete results from High Times below.
