1st Annual High Times Colorado Caregivers Cup!!!

[puphdown]

The tradition of farmrs comparing the results of their efforts is a long standing one. I recall entering tomatoes at the county fair as a young man in 4H.

Idealy an event such as this would be a place where growers could share mutual respect and garden tips to improve our whole scene. I think we can compare meds, funk, weed, ganja, whatever you choose to call, it w/o it having to be a dick measuring contest. Iron sharpen iron

I agree that the event was poorly planned and could have been much better in many ways. Maybe one of you guys will step up and organize a 'real' event the way you see fit. When you do i'll be at that one too.

 

[TheStrainMan]

If I were the organizer of this event I'd be embarrassed. It's not about 'well at least these guys stepped up and organized an event'. It's about getting smart and successful people together and make things happen. Have you ever worked with smart and successful folks before? The kind of folks that hit it out of the park every time they endeavour something? Well this is the world I live in and when you get the right peeps behind something, it gets done right and others leave happy and satisfied.

Seriously so many commented/viewed this thread; and you and COMidnightRider (event organizer) are the only ones that were satisfied by this event. Incidentaly, CoMidnightRider banned me from his meetup group because of my opinions on this thread. Seems like he's threatened by me and folks finding out the real truth.

All great points. Most people arent use to working with other successful people. They are few and far between.

If you can take some criticism to help better yourself or your projects then you need to step back and take a long hard look at your true self.

maybe this will turn out more like what you all want. 28 judges with 28 strains in 30 days judging time.
Should be pretty badass.

I hope to enter

 

[Owl Mirror]

28 strains = 28 ounces
Amount of sample used per dose (in 0.1 gram [1/10th gram] measurements)

I am curious as to what happens to all the left over samples ?
Also, how is it legal to have possession of so many ounces when not the individual patients caregiver?

(4) (a) A patient may engage in the medical use of marijuana, with no more marijuana than is medically necessary to address a debilitating medical condition. A patient’s medical use of marijuana, within the following limits, is lawful:

(I) No more than two ounces of a usable form of marijuana; and

(II) No more than six marijuana plants, with three or fewer being mature, flowering plants that are producing a usable form of marijuana.

I would check local law to see if the judges might be found in violation so they might protect their rights under Colorado Law and not lose their right to hold a valid MM ID card.

 

[BudGood]

i know huh, there is a cup here in nor cal the first weekend of oct. Its like hello!!! dont you know none of the outdoor is really cured and ready till dec or jan
.

To be real honest, I don't consider outdoor grown to be all that great quality wise, and I sure wouldn't take an outdoor sample to a caregivers cup, it's just not med-grade IMHO, unless you like dirt-tasting buds. To each their own I guess...

dude it .1 for dosage each judge recieves 1 gram of each strain
Amount of sample used per dose

so many ounces thats actually not that much. 28 oz only requires 14 patients to be on site.

its all good think what you want

 

[BudGood]

WHY would I or anyone else want to go to his event and pay fees to brag about our funk (as you call it). Everybody that has gotten some of my MEDICINE has never complained and were quite complimentary about it.
His events are only about the money. Since when do you have a contest on how good a medicine is? Next you'll be wanting to compare anti-depressants, dick hardening pills and pain pills. That sounds to "Big Pharma" mentality.

Thanks but no thanks,

pp69

Well said pp69!

Seriously so many commented/viewed this thread; and you and COMidnightRider (event organizer) are the only ones that were satisfied by this event. Incidentaly, CoMidnightRider banned me from his meetup group because of my opinions on this thread. Seems like he's threatened by me and folks finding out the real truth.

Seems everyone I talk to thinks that Tim T****n/COMidnightRider is a douche. I'm not surprised that he banned you from his meetup group, that sounds like his regular tactics. Hell, I read a story about him assaulting someone who didn't agree with him! Add on the fact that he and Michael Lee of Cannabis Therapeutics used to be in cahoots together, and the picture starts to become even clearer. AVOID that guy at all costs, you'll be glad you did.

So the caregivers cup was a bust, huh?

 

[BudGood]

Yup, and proud of it. I know what quality tastes/looks/smells like, 99% of outdoor tastes like dirt, not very medicinal IMHO.

It's not, now that he got a bit of notariety, he turned stash with it, not selling the clone. No biggie, there's tons of others. TBH, that kind of blatant greed makes me sick to my stomach, I for one won't be bothering with Bruce Banner.

what i been saying from the start!!!!!!1 glad to see everybody is still here i think i was missed alittle. is this delta9 guy the guy who came up with the davidbanner strain......? they said they would have clones of this strain and now i talked with them and now that they won the CO medcup they are not selling the clones. anybody got info on delta9????

mtnkush now banned again just was saying this..funny you mention it. i dont get it you take one cross and cross it to another plant and grow it out and now you have elite topnotch shit that you cant sell clone from now? better yet you win a cup with brucebanner that had little to no compitition to begin with.. please its good but aint that good! bbanner was up against caregiver grown weed not up against world know breeders .. you dont cross one plant to another and say yea its the shit, it take alot more then that to be world known

 

[LibtECh]

and let me guess the bbanner bud was 40-50 an 1/8 now its going for 70-80 an 1/8? how much you wanna bet?

 

[TheStrainMan]

there weren't that many entries, so winning the caregiver's cup is not something to be REAL proud of. But, High Times will put these guys and their Bruce Banner on the radar in their January issue cause one of their photogs happened to be there. Of course this will increase delta's demand and thus, they will for sure raise prices. I'm sure that Bruce Banner is great, but against 25 buds is one thing, but against 300 buds is another.

[TheStrainMan]

From a bizniss sense, it'd be foolish for Delta to give up (sell clones of) the strain that's about to take them into major cashland. If I were them, I'd start thinking about the next Caregivers cup right fricken now. They have the opportunity to make it way big by winning next year, too, and then they can begin selling clones of BruceBanner for whatever they want to charge. Folks will buy them up like they do Mr Nice 10-packs of seeds for $180+. There are lots of people who still do read High Times and buy into it all... them are the ones that'll come runnin with fat, open wallets for something featured in their favorite magazine. For most in our beloved state, this is actually the first time they could go to a shop and buy what they saw in the mag!!!! Noodle on that for a moment friends. There will be lots of demand for High-Times 'blessed' genetics from that slice of the patient population.

One very last thing on the Caregivers cup then I'll shut the fuck up about it: the 3 dispensaries present should have brought several vapes to the event and vaped people out free... get everyone baked and happy, let em get a feel for your meds so they can then buy more of what they like. Ya come out looking like heroes because everyone is irie and looking forward to seeing you soon at your shop next time. Of course you still make a shitload of cash that night, albeit 10% less, but it's so worth it!

Instead they preyed on the fact that everyone was looking to get stoned and there was no vaping in sight for hours. Kinda makes ya wanna empty your wallet in a situation like that, huh.. You're at a pot contest featuring High Times (some folks there were big fans, mind you) and not stoned anymore after waiting in line for over an hour. Then you walk in only to find a co-op of 3 dispensaries selling their buds. My homies and I split, but many others were just eating it up and buying buying buying. I had a dream there were a bunch of cattle lining up to those vendor tables.

But personally, I don't give a shit about High Times or BruceBanner, cause there are plenty of great genetics (and reading material) all around. We live in Colorado folks and if I can pull one positive thing out of this event, it would be the FREEDOM!!! freedom to have attended such a thing in a public venue and the freedom of going to a store and buying pot.

well put i stopped reading hightimes back in the mid 90's.. some people have brucebanner clones already and im sure they will be gifted all over soon enough for those that want to buy into the hype. i got some homegrown meds that would make banner look like dirtweed delta9.. nothing like going big and alllout..let see if its hype or not.. ill check them out soon enough i say you hit it up to dude and put up a review
