So the Cup is essentially a big crawl that if you want to vote you pay 200$!

Agree with USBL, a good place and time to meet people, party, exchanging ideas, networking, etc... Did I mention partying...?

Seriously, any reason to party, even the absence of a reason is justification to burn, vape, and or eat cannabis.

I've been to two cups and had awesome times, no doubt. I came to realize though that most of the great moments didn't involve the cup itself but was a result of it, sort of by extension. This is the main reason why I don't pay for a judges pass, not to mention most of the 'commercial' swag.

Most of us that have experience with the Amsterdam Coffee Shop scene know that the HTCC isn't all that its cracked up to be, ie... the same small group of shops consistently wining, charging for swag (some freebies but not like it used to be), over-commercialization (nature of the beast), etc... To each their own, but I think most would have a great time during the cup even if they didn't participate directly (judges pass, etc...).

Second year in a row my timing was off for making the cup. Oh well, fuck it, there's always next year, right? Anyone know what next year's HTCC theme will be? Speculations on wining C/S's? hehe

I won't miss the 420 Hestia Cup in April, that's a lock!

Time to hit another bowl of Bas Special with a Royal Hash kicker.

"1.Poor voter quality: You cannot expect to get accurate results when the overwhelming majority of judges are American/Canadian and they lack the experience needed to properly judge a strain. I mean when you get here you get wasted with pretty much anything (even Dampkring's salad) so how can you judge relative strengths/ differences? "

Sorry to piss on your theory, BUT, that is really off.

i think it's quite accurate, the average voder decides also based upon what he's heard from others and might not know all the coffee shops, so the shops with more "fame" get more votes.

ROTFL, so you think a "UK" voter has a better perception of what good pot is compared to someone from Brittish Columbia or California ???
You may need to expand your travels somewhat because your ill informed.
Sorry, and no offence but the last thing i think of when i ponder good pot is the UK...

Shantibaba who is arguably the best breeder is British as well.

I am not from the UK, not from the Netherlands so your nationalistic negativity is totally unnecessary here. I should clear something up. When I said poor voter quality was I referring to you? No what I meant is that if one is experienced with weed he WON'T pay for the judges pass and will come here for the fun of it. So I didn't say "The Yanks can't hold their weed" if that was what you got. So much negativity man! Maybe a joint would be necessary???

These are your words.
So what ARE you saying then, because it seems clear to me.

Boner, obviously there are amazing things going on in the UK and everywhere in the world with even a smidge of tollerance.
I still stand by what i said though.

Indeed people who will buy judges passes are inexperienced. Feel free to disprove me.

actually i think i see your point. your saying the average judge pass holder's are un informed/not experienced, but your not geenralising this theory on the people of north America, just pass holders? correct me if im wrong.

I am half canadian, didn't mean to quote the part about canadians/americans, just that in general judges are just average stoners and don't necessarily pick the best strain for reasons i pointed out, no matter where they're from.
peace
