What makes the Cannabis Cup so cool is that there’s soooo much weed in one place. Let’s give you a bit of perspective here, man. You’ve heard of High Times mag’s Cannabis Cup, right? Of course, since it’s been the pantheon of pot competition for the last 20 years…held over in pot-friendly Amsterdam yearly. Well, with the proliferation of good herb over here on the left coast of the USA, the High Times dudes decided to bring the Cup back home! Originally, the Cup was patterned after Harvest Festivals here in Northern California, so it’s only right that this shit comes back home! And, the people in Nor Cal turned out in droves! Like we said, it’s killer to see so much killer bud in one place, man. Sure sure, there’s all the product hawking business in the front with t-shirts and bongs and shit right when you walk in…check the video below…
…but much like the mullet…the party’s in the back…in what was called the Prop 215 Smoking Section where there was no tobacco allowed! Thank you for pot smoking!
So there were dispensaries from all over the place entering their most stoney strains in the contest for best Sativa and best Indica and best other-type-of-shit categories, but only the judges got to samples those goods. Check out our friend Steve DeAngelo from the Harborside Health Center filling us in on his entries. If you’ve not heard of DeAngelo, you will, as he’s actively rolling out dispensary “franchise” opportunities and when you walk into a dispensary in your state for the first time…it’ll probably be patterned after the Harborside.
Along with the weed and the judging of the weed…was a lot of talking about weed by people who talk a lot about weed like the High Times dudes, Danny Danko, Jorge Cervantes, and NORML Audio Stash Live’s Russ Bellville, among many other experts. We were captivated with a guy named Irvin Rosenfeld, one of only 4 remaining federal medical marijuana patients who’s smoked well over 100,000 joints rolled by the US Government, which still doesn’t recognize marijuana as medicine. We’ll have more on our friend Irv and his upcoming book about how he fought the law and those motherfuckers lost (for once)…in the future. So that’s that at the 1st ever High Times Annual Medical Cannabis Cup.
