01Beginnings

The Global Cannabis Awards belong to CannaPortugal, an international hemp and cannabis expo in Lisbon that mixes a consumer crowd with a business crowd.1

As for who started the awards, or when, the sources do not say. They do not name the organising company or a founding year for the expo either.12

02The story so far

One thing the sources do show is the expo's rhythm. The 2025 edition was the third, and 2026 is described as the fourth year.12

In 2025 the ceremony took place on 16 May. The Last Prisoner Project was recognised there, and Mila Jansen, known as The Hash Queen, presented the recognition.2

Mary Bailey, Managing Director of the Last Prisoner Project, gave the keynote at CannaPortugal 2025.2

One source names two past honorees: Jose Mujica and Raphael Mechoulam. The sources do not say what year each was honoured or what for.1

03Culture and community

The honourees the sources name are people and an organisation: individuals such as Jose Mujica and Raphael Mechoulam, and the Last Prisoner Project. The sources do not describe any product categories, judging process or entry rules.12

The ceremony sits inside a wider programme. That programme also includes a HempAction fashion show and cooking demonstrations.1

04Where it stands now

The expo is held at the exhibition pavilion of the Instituto Superior de Agronomia, in Tapada da Ajuda, Lisbon.12

The awards ceremony is placed on the evening of Day 1. Past editions ran in mid-May, on 16-17 May 2025 and 19-20 May 2023.1

The 2026 edition is given as May 2026. The source listing it names no 2026 winners, so the sources do not say who was honoured.1

05What comes next

The sources do not say what is planned beyond the 2026 edition. They do not mention future dates, award categories or changes to the ceremony. The official website is given as cannaportugal.com, which is the place to check.1
