Another 4/20 has come and gone, and with it passes another High Times Cannabis Cup. This year’s Denver Cannabis Cup recognized six categories of top-shelf flowers with indicas, sativas, and hybrids divided into two subcategories that separated medical strains from other local legends. We hope you had a chance to visit the Leafly booth while you were at the Cup, but if you missed this weekend’s festival altogether, here’s a list of the 2014 champions.
