But that's always led to disappointment among cannabis connoisseurs who wanted to put their palate to use, Mark Kaz, High Times' director of competitions, said. The winners could get more out of it than the High Times trophy and bragging rights within the cannabis industry, Kaz said. "We've even had people claim that they've gotten better commercial space and leasing deals because they were a Cannabis Cup winner." The Cannabis Cup is not the first competition held to discern the best marijuana products from the Bay State. High Times runs similar events in other states around the country, including upcoming Cannabis Cups in Oklahoma, Arizona, Northern California, Illinois and Nevada.
