1st ganja cup - championship 2025/26

What is the 1st Ganja Cup

The 1st Ganja Cup is a Championship about the best Organic Certified and Organic Minded Ganja Flowers of the Globe.

Everybody can organize (THC/CBD) Tournaments in any part of the world (in a way that is allowed by local laws). The winners of Tournaments will be able to join the final event.

Main scope of the event is to valorize and support local small craft growers, organic agriculture, regenerative practices, genetic preservation, global legalization, prisoners' liberation, equal education, global citizenship and armistice.

Is a decentralized event because we do not create any central Association or Company to make profit out of this. The 1stGanja Cup is a spontaneous community of individuals that shares ideology and goals and decide to play together a game that can help the planet to be a better place.

All participants, Growers, Judges, Sponsors, Public are paying some registration fees. Everybody pay here, nobody is making directly profit from the 1st Ganja Cup.

Traditional landrace and heirloom farmers from low-income areas, no profit organizations, and knowledgeable individuals that aren’t using money for personal or religious choice can be, case by case after evaluation, exempt to pay.

WHEN WE WILL ENDED WARS, JAILS AND BORDERS WE WILL MAKE THE TRUE PARTY
