The High Times Hemp Cup is a nationwide competition for the best hemp-derived products. Hemp cultivators, processors and brands around the country submit their products into the competition, which are then packaged by High Times into assorted Judge Kits. These judge’s kits are then  distributed across the country for consumers to test and judge each product inside of their kit. The kits have a minimum cost paid by the judge to cover shipping, handling and baseline expenses. 

The High Times Hemp Cup accepts products from brands from March 25 - March 27. 
Judge Kits become available to the public for ordering on March 26 at thehempcup.myshopify.com.
Judge Kits will be shipped to a valid US address only. There is no pick up option.
Judges will have until September 30 to complete judging for all products in their Kits. 

Hemp-derived products are products that come from the Hemp plant, the sister of the cannabis plant. These products may include high levels of CBD, CBG, CBN and other non-psychoactive compounds that contain therapeutic properties. All products are under .3% Delta-9 THC and are federally legal for possession and consumption as stated in the Farm Bill. With new products coming into the market, legal psychoactive cannabinoids such as Delta 8, Delta 9, Delta 10, HHC and more are all federally legal compounds that may be found in the Legal Psychoactive Judge Kits. If you need more clarity, please seek further information online before making your purchase.

Judge Kits will be sold online until they are sold out.. Anyone who is interested in becoming a judge may do so by ordering starting on March 26. If you purchase a Judge Kit, you MUST test and submit scores and comments for all products. If you receive products you cannot consume or judge yourself, please find a friend who can help you complete the judging. All of your feedback is important and is anonymously sent to the brands who submitted their product. For more info and updates, please submit your info atCannabisCup.com/Preregister

Hemp Cup kits will be assortments of Hemp-derived products from various brands, all contained inside of a High Times Hemp Cup box that is 12”x18”x4” in dimensions. There are usually about 180 different products in the competition spread across multiple different types of kits.

Each kit will include products from the following categories of hemp-derived products:

1. Non-Psychoactive Edibles: Gummies & Fruit Chews
2. Non-Psychoactive Topicals, Tinctures & Capsules
3. Non-Psychoactive Smokeables: Flower, Pre-Rolls, Concentrates and Vape Pens
4. Legal Psychoactive Flower and Pre-Rolls
5. Legal Psychoactive Concentrates and Vape Pens
6. Legal Psychoactive Edible: Gummies
7. Legal Psychoactive Edible: Non-Gummies
8. Legal Psychoactive Edible: Beverages

Each Hemp Cup Judge Kit comes with a Judges Card which gives you a link to the High Times Judge Portal and the access code for the specific Judge Kit type you have. Judges will access the Judge Portal to find a list of products within their kit and can choose the product they are testing, then submit their scores and feedback based on the portal’s questions and criteria. Please leave detailed comments in the comments section, and include a description of your entire experience with the product. 

Judge Kit purchases are limited to 1 of each kit type per person. This helps us ensure that all products are judged properly. 

Yes! We want all products to be judged, so if you cannot judge all products, please ask friends and family to help. Please have them input your email address that you provided when purchasing so we can ensure we see scores from your account for all products.
