Cannabis Cup 2009 Thread

[Boner]

Boner, you clearly know the score out there, nowadays would you say it was worth a trip in its own right, I went many years ago and didnt quite connect with it all. Does the CC2009 take place in a venue or from coffeeshop to coffeeshop, and can you always buy what you sample, and if so in big pieces (eg min 5 g), or is it all just about sampling little bits and trying to stay upright?

Never been and never intend to, theres some CC veterans on here that'll be able to answer your questions better than me, sorry.

The Cup is spread out between the a few venues. The Power Zone, here you will find the expo with grow seminars, paraphernalia booths and several seed companies. Some of the booths will have free vapes and bong rips. The Melkweg and Paradiso are were the concerts are held. You can buy a judge's pass for $250 until Nov. 15. It gives you access to all events, see the schedule in the earlier post, and a vote to choose the winner You also have the option of buying a day pass to the Expo and individual tickets to the concert, again see earlier post for schedule and tickets. The price of the pass does not get you samples of the strains that are in the Cup. Many visitors, including myself, skip the judge's pass and spend the time and money on more gear! Basically it is a Coffeeshop Crawl, trying to sample the 29 strains.

Peace,

You may find me working at the Pollinator Company booth or shop during the CC. I may have some nice hash to share. And that's all I have to say about that.

hey templeball always hated cc but i totally get it if i was living in usa i would go.the amount it would cost for amsterdam trip is high and you want to go at best time, but im only 4 hours drive away 1 hour boat and the price of a judges pass would fund at least a couple of trips for me.

UK VS USA sounds great Extreme Toke and Talk wish i was gonna be there for that

[Drugsbunny]

Heck I wont be in town until 22nd so will miss the smoke off.

Ah well Iam sure there will be another.

I read in Essensie, a dutch cannabis mag, that Rick Simpson will be speaking on Monday Nov 23rd @ 1900 at The Power Zone. First time I plan to go to any CC event. I dont know what more he can say about his healing hemp oil, that is not already in his YouTube videos but I will go listen to him anyway. Should be good.

If you can find one of these Essensie mags while you're in town, there is a many page article w/ pics about the CC and coffeeshops. You can find the free mags at some coffeeshops.
Have a great time all of you attending!! Peace.

Thanks to all of you, its put me off going after reading all the above and reading further, though i like the idea of the coffe shop crawl, im a hash man really, wonder how many islolaters id get through before entering a coma? One way to find out...

Hi stuart, thanks for the info on the CCup, im London based actually not US and never thought of driving over, done that horrific overnight ferry and easyjet which is fine, but I like the idea of driving though, whats it cost and what do you do about the car when you get to Dam?

[Bob2]

have driven over last 10 times if you go to dunkirk or calais or even oostend you pass by breda tilberg eindhoven and motorway for rotterdam lots of places which have coffeeshops if you have 4 people in car, boat petrol and zeeburg cabin 2 nightsis 60ish pounds each. parking is expensive but zeeburg charge 4.5 euros a day or you can park and ride. i would fly but by the time you factor in check in getting public transport to airport ive made it by car
