Dopefiend Cup

Dopefiend Cup: Celebrating British Cannabis Excellence

The Dopefiend Cup has been a celebrated annual tradition since 2011, bringing together the UK’s top cannabis growers, breeders, and extractors for a secretive, one-day event held somewhere along the south bank of the Thames in London. This exclusive competition unites the nation’s finest to crown cannabis champions in two categories: Flowers and Concentrates. Each year, a panel of expert judges carefully blind-test the entries—smoking, inspecting, and vaporizing the strains with high-end equipment. The results are then podcasted on Dopefiend.co.uk, and the winners take home prestigious prizes, including custom glass rigs, vaporizers, and exclusive cannabis-related goods.

These are the Winners!
