01Beginnings
The Dopefiend Cup started in 2011 and was held every year after that.12
It is described as an invitational contest for British growers and breeders. One source says it is run by Dopefiend.co.uk (The Cannabis Podcast Network).2 The other source does not name a separate organising body.1 The sources do not say who came up with the idea or why.
02The story so far
The first winner, in 2011, was Yosser Hughes with an entry called Cheese.1 In 2012 the top spot went to TopMonkeyBoy with Cloud 9.1
Kem Osiris won the flowers title in 2013 with K3M, then won the 2014 concentrates title with K3M Ice Hash. Rustledust took 2014 flowers with Blues.1
Later winners include Team 10 Extracts for 2015 concentrates (OG10 BHO), SmokeyGenetics for 2016 concentrates (OdV3), and Underground Originals for 2016 flowers (UGORG Cookies).1 In 2017 the flowers winner was Devcal420 and the extracts winner was UGORG.1
The 2018 results had separate growers, breeders, solvent extract and solventless lists. Chudder Brothers won growers with Headbanger OG. Dank Genetics took first and second in breeders.1 The 2016 event was the sixth edition.2
03How it works and what it feels like
It is a one-day event in London.12 The judging place is secret and open only to entrants and organisers.2 One source puts it on the south bank of the Thames.1
Entries are judged blind.1 The two titles named for 2016 were Flowers Champion and Concentrates Champion.2
In 2016 the flower judges were Kem Osiris and Frank Odyssey, and the concentrate judges were Zion and Greg de Hoedt. There were 14 flower strains and 11 concentrates entered.2
Prizes named in 2016 were a custom engraved trophy rig and a Firefly 2 vaporizer, with a total value of over GBP 1000.2 Proceedings are recorded and put out as a podcast on Dopefiend.co.uk.12
