Celebrate, Medicate and Skate
Over father’s day weekend, High Times magazine held the completely sold out First Annual High Times Medical Cannabis Cup in San Francisco. Despite long lines and crazy congestion the event was a smashing success and culminated on Sunday with the crowning of the best pot in the land, broken down into categories for best Sativa (the kind of herb that gets ya high), Indica (the kind of herb that gets ya stoned), and a bunch of other shit. All the key players were there on Sunday evening to hear who’d hoist the Cup including Dennis Peron, Will Foster, Jorge Cervantes, DJ Short, BOG, MzJill, and SubCool. And, to everyone’s surprise…it was a strain called God’s Pussy that landed the top honors! Many scoffed at the name, but the mainstream press reported on it, which was all out hilarity, and for a day or two the best herbal remedy in the land came in the form of God’s Pussy. (check out our review of God’s Pussy)
But, within a few days of the glorious event High Times had officially changed the name of the winning strain to Vortex. WTF? What happened to God’s Pussy? Does it really even exist or was the mighty High Times, defenders of FREE SPEECH, offended by all the blasphemy?
“The next day after the event, the uproar on the internet grew loud enough that the winning listing was changed to include Vortex along with an ‘aka’,” said SubCool of TGA SubCool Seeds who also entered the exact same strain of herb…interestingly enough, the two samples tested within .016 of each others’ potency.
“When they announced the winner of the Sativa as Jack Grean’s God’s Pussy the female announcer struggled with the offensive name but sure enough the world now knows what a mockery this event was to the Medical Movement, women, and anyone who believes in a higher power. I was shocked to see no mention of the strain’s real name in any High Times press release,” SubCool told Stuff Stoners Like.
Apparently, Jack Grean of GreanBicycles dispensary grew out a pack of Vortex seeds from SubCool’s TGA Seeds. By the way…Vortex is a cross between Apollo-13 and Space Queen, an 80/20 Sativa to Indica hybrid that’s spacey name was decided upon by 1000 growers who entered a contest to name the strain so there’s a bit of legacy to the name. Grean, allegedly found a special phenotype, grew it out and renamed it God’s Pussy, which is a practice you see happen over in Amsterdam, the home of the Cannabis Cup for the last twenty-two years.
“While I really really wanted a cup myself I am really happy that all it took to win the cup was a pack of my seeds,” said SubCool.
“I hope the High Times crew takes this as constructive criticism and makes some changes for the next event. I have been in contact with the grower (Jack Grean) who said he’d never won anything in his life and just didn’t expect to win at all and he couldn’t feel worse about the whole ordeal. High Times has been awesome after the screw up making amends and have made it clear that Vortex won.”

I'm not speaking for any others, but I'm an atheist radical feminist, and I have to say, the name just made me wanna try it. If something is called God's Pussy, you know it's gotta be damn good.
The problem is it already has a name the one given to it by its creator.
The other problem is it may be cool for you but as a parent teaching the next generation some manners its offensive at many levels.
What on earth does this have to do with manners? Pussy isn't a bad word. People use it as an insult, but pussy in and of itself? Nothing bad. Correct terminology? Hell no.
I understand it as "god's pussy"=something really, really special.
It seems like there's a lot more you could be concerned about that the name of a marijuana strain. Maybe teach them about the sexism in the marijuana rights movement, I don't know.
That is the point Hon 100% woman are exploited enough in this world without me having to explain to a 10 year old why that same mind set is now entering the medical movement.
Your one of the very few women I have met who are not offended by the name but to each his or her own.
1. Don't call me Hon (I'm not trying to sound rude with that, btw.)
2. I just don't know what's offensive. Or maybe it's because I ran out of steam after seeing so much sexist crap within this movement in the past few weeks. Gimmie time, maybe I'll come around after re-energizing haha.
I consider this fairly ridiculous. It's not exploitation, it's a name! And if you think about it, a fairly flattering one at that. Calling it offensive to women, especially if you're a man, to me seems somewhat patronizing, or as if women everywhere are weak enough to be exploited.
Well, that depends, but I think it's actually a real shame to get rid of such a great name just because there are prudes in the world that can't handle a little sexuality. And don't get me started on children and censorship!
Guys, calling names like these offensive gives it that negativity. In reality, it's all in your head. The only meaning language has is the context we give it. Look: Pussy is definitely a good thing, and if it's god-like then ye gads, that deserves all the worship it wants. A kind of weed with that name must live up to that level of quality!
I'm a lady and i'm not offended in the slightest. I'm a proud pussy. Pussy=Awesome. And why would a feminist have a problem with the assumption that god is a woman? Makes sense to me.
I've gotta try that weed!
Wow the above argument between the feminist twat and Subcool is probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.
Wow, thank you so much for calling me a twat.
If I had been offended by it, i'd be a stuck up bitch, right?
