1996 High Times Cannabis Cup Winners

November 1996 – Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The 9th Cannabis Cup was hampered by new limitations on cannabis imposed under the plans to unify Europe’s currencies. The Cannabis Castle Tour was canceled, and the official strains were not put on display in the Judges’ Lounge.

De Dampkring turned some heads by winning four Cups, including the Cannabis Cup. Celebrity judges included Dennis Peron, Mel Frank, John Trudell, Mila, Felipe Chavez and Eagle Bill.

The appearance of many Native American celebrities, including John Trudell, former chairman of the American Indian Movement, created one of the most powerful Cups ever.
