It’s that time again! The Herban Legends Cup is back for its third year — and we’ve got the founders Danny Gonzalez and Maddie Scanlon in the studio to talk about what’s new for 2025, the judging process, and how they’re building Illinois’ strongest homegrow community.

From legacy roots to lab-tested quality, this is a deep dive into how cannabis competitions are evolving — and why Herban Legends Cup has become the event for growers, judges, and connoisseurs across the Midwest.
