Nimbin MardiGrass
Location : Nimbin, Australia Dates : 2010-05-01In 1995 the first Cannabis Growers Cup was held, and has been held ever since.
Quickly a reputation for a great weekend spread amongst cannabis users across the globe. Soon Jack Herer, Dennis Peron, Ed Rosenthal, the Cannabis Culture crew from Canada and others visited and the MardiGrass reputation was established.
In the year 2000, an attempt was made to establish Cannabis Cafes in Nimbin, as a response to the robust street dealing culture of that year.
Locals felt, after discussions with area police, that this was approved, but in 2001 that illusion fell away when twenty nine police raided all of them in one day, and put an end to the experiment.

High Times Cannabis Cup
Location : Amsterdam Dates : 2009-11-22There are no proofs, but it seems like the first Cannabis Cup was organized in 1987, when a HighTimes editor, Steven Hager, came to the Netherlands for an interview with the founder of the first Dutch Cannabis Seeds Company. Together with a photographer, they were the only 3 judges to decide which of the four enrolled seed companies will win the competition: Super Sativa Seed Club, Sensi Seed Club, the Seed Bank and "Cultivator's Choice".
Since then, the High Times Cannabis Cup developed in many ways. It reached international dimensions, and high numbers regarding public and celebrity participation and popularity.
Until 1992, there were not many seed banks willing to participate at this event, and its great diversity was not yet reached. But the 5th and the 6th High Times Cannabis Cups represented the return of the seed companies, like Homegrown Fantasy and the Sensi Seeds Bank, Nirvana Seeds, Dutch Passion.
The 1994 Cannabis Cup brought great novelties. The first Hemp Expo was held at the Pax Party House and the parties at the Milkweg Club started. It also was the first internationally concerning edition. The New York Times published an article on this event, and the population from Tokyo could watch a one hour documentary on this matter.
The following year however, the amplitude of the Cannabis Cup drastically modified. Participants from USA and Canada enrolled in the competition. Media representatives and reporters massively came to record the event. Thousands of people traveled to Amsterdam to be judgers, or just to freely smoke the best cannabis strains.
At the 10 years celebration, the High Times Cannabis Cup the guests had the great surprise to meet Rita Marley, the widow of Bob Marley. She came to participate in a ritual meant to honor and celebrate Bob Marley's memory. It was the first countercultural icon to enter the High Times Cannabis Hall of Fame. Since then, this ceremonial ritual has been repeated each year during the Cannabis Cup.
Other memorable names in the cannabis culture have been honored and entered in the Hall of Fame, like: Louis Armstrong, Allen Ginsberg, Ina May Gasking (founder of the midwife movement), Bob Dylan, Paul Krassner, John Trudell (former chairman in the American-Indian Movement), Tommy Chong, Rainbow Family members Barry Adams and Garrick Beck.
In the past ten years, each Cannabis Cup had a main theme. In 2000 there was the "Honor the Goddess" Cannabis Cup, when many women celebrities attended. There have also been the "Peace" Cannabis Cup, the "Return of the Kind / Freedom" Cannabis Cup, the "Conspiracy" Cannabis Cup, named after the book of the celebrity that was inducted into the Hall of Fame that year, Jack Herrer.
For nine years, until 2002, the Cannabis Hemp Expo was held at the Pax Party House. When is got closed, the High Times Hemp Expo first did not have another place to happen, then tried with the Amuse, then in the Northern Amsterdam in the Docklands Building of the NDSM Harbor. Happily, since 2007 the Hemp Expo found a suitable surrounding in the PowerZone, where it opened its doors for two years, but in 2009 the Expo was spread through the coffeeshops.
The 20th anniversary of the High Times Cannabis Cup in 2007 brought together Tommy Chong from the legendary "Cheech & Chong" as the counter cultural icon to enter the Hall of Fame, and Redman as host of the usual fashion show brought by Hempworks. It was a crazy funny and interactive session of the Cup.
They even released a DVD with the entire festival.
Seattle Hempfest
Location : Seattle Dates : 2009-08-15This Hempfest bring together each year thousands and even tens of thousands of Americans and not only.
They come to listen to the traditional speeches of the Festival, held by movement luminaries such as Rob Kampia from the Marijuana Policy Project, Jack Cole of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, Stephen Gaskin from the Farm Commune and medical patient Angel Raich came to address Hempfest's massive crowd.
Around the time of the Hempfest Seattle's roads are a snarled traffic cluster for miles long. For the past ten years it has been a great place for cannabis activists to gather and make a statement.
