Cannabliss 2025, a prominent event in the medicinal cannabis and cultural calendar, faced significant criticism this year due to controversial lyrics and organizational delays. The festival, now in its second year, aimed to blend cannabis education, cultural events, and entertainment into a cohesive experience. However, the performance by Spragga Benz, featuring lyrics deemed offensive and disrespectful, overshadowed the event’s achievements. Attendees, including regional government officials and CEOs, expressed disappointment, particularly given the mature and professional audience. The Rastafarian community, present at the event, also voiced their displeasure, emphasizing the inappropriateness of the song in such a setting. Beyond the lyrical controversy, the festival struggled with punctuality, with key events starting over 30 minutes late, some delayed by up to an hour and a half. Despite these setbacks, many visitors appreciated the overall experience and expressed enthusiasm for future editions. Organizers have acknowledged the issues and are committed to refining the event for Cannabliss 2026, promising a more polished and respectful celebration.
