Spannabis highlights global cannabis culture – Greenstate

At Spannabis 2025—one of the world’s largest cannabis seed marketplaces held annually in Barcelona—Humboldt Seed Company (HSC) played a prominent role in showcasing California cannabis genetics on the global stage. The article opens with a dawn visit to La Sagrada Familia, where Benjamin Lind of HSC reflects on the international enthusiasm for cannabis seeds, comparing it to the fervor usually reserved for food crops like corn or soybeans.

HSC brought a “wave of genetics from California crashing onto the European seed scene,” with founder Nathaniel Pennington and team working from their European office in Barcelona to prepare for the event. They were joined by partners like Huckleberry Hill Farms, Tangled Roots, and Mendo Dope Farms, selling exclusive seed packs at the show. Their booth attracted media attention, including a documentary team from Colombia’s Home Grow TV.

Cultivation legend Ed Rosenthal joined the team for a rooftop smoke session featuring Humboldt’s Garlic Budder strain, praising the international reach and energy of the event.

With the future of Spannabis in Barcelona uncertain, HSC’s presence symbolized the preservation and global sharing of authentic cannabis culture. Their mission, blending scientific breeding with respect for legacy growers worldwide, was on full display—amplifying their voice as global ambassadors of Humboldt’s legendary cannabis genetics.
