The 12 VIP-Jury Members, consisting of national experts of  the sector growing, analytics and media as well as three representatives of consumers, from each part of the Swiss (Ticino, German-and the French-speaking Switzerland) met on Sunday 24^th of January online in home-office due to Covid.  The coded sorts were checked on the appearance, aroma and taste only the category of each one was known (Indoor, Outdoor, Greenhouse).  During this VIP Expert Jury Day the best 25 Indoor, the best 10 Outdoor and the best 10 Greenhouse species  were selected for the Jury Box of the CannaSwissCup 20120/21, which are ready for sale from 1^st of February 2021 all over the Swiss  in special hemp shops and under www.cannaswisscup.ch
Each presented sort was tested, by a SCC (Swiss Certified Cannabis) certified laboratory, on its CBD-, CBG- as well as on its THC-content and for the first time also on synthetic cannabinoids, beside pesticides and Mycotoxins. Particular rewarding is the fact that all registered species comply with the legal THC limit value of one percent and none of these contain any nicotine or Mycotoxins residues.

No Traces of synthetic Cannabinoids found
Unfortunately we had to eliminate 14 sorts from the CannaSwissCup 2020/21 due to pesticides residues.  But this example shows that despite a missing regulation the Swiss CBD-branch is predominately processing clean. Considering the missing limit value for pesticides in the cannabis cultivation, as required for the vegetable growing, we as the organizers of the CannaSwissCup demand a zero tolerance for pesticides in the cannabis cultivation.
We also would like to point out that major problems may occur because of pesticides and synthetic cannabinoids in illegal produced cannabis in contrast to legal CBD-cannabis. Therefore the regulation of the cannabis market seems to be reasonable and absolutely necessary.

How will the best Gras be chosen?
Each adult in Switzerland may buy one Jury-Box and take thereby part in the selection for the best Swiss CBD-Grass 2020/21 as well as automatically in the raffle for a trip to Amsterdam. Per Jury-Box we grant additionally two Day-Tickets for the upcoming CannaTrade. The Awardshow of the CannaSwissCup shall take place during the fair on Saturday 29th of May 2021.
