What can I expect at the Toronto Cannabis Cup?

Pinkladyeater · May 30, 2010

I got my self a couple of tickets to this years Toronto Cannabis Cup and this is the first time that I have ever gotten tickets to one of these events. To anyone who has ever attended a Toronto Cannabis Cup event before what can I expect and how was it? Did you enjoy and would you go again?

Any information and shared experiences would be very much appreciated.

No the name is not from Pink Lady acid though I'd love to try it if I could find it.

No one on this form has ever been to a Toronto Cannabis Cup? Oh well I guess I'll find out for myself.

Well the Toronto Cannabis Cup ISN'T the best if you must know the truth. I used to be a sponsor but after last year BS I choose not to continue sponsoring the event. Instead I decided to put together my own cup and expo. I will be at the TCC though as I will be helping out one of my expo sponsors at his table.

Check out my expo http://www.medicalmarijuana-hempexpo.com click on the show guide for all the details and schedule.

Thank You Marco Renda, I appreciate your opinion. What happened last year if you don't mind me asking? Are there still VIP Judges passes available for the MMHE event? I was looking at the program on the http://www.medicalmarijuana-hempexpo.com it looks very professionally done. Also there seems to be more activities to do with the Cup that you're putting on. Again thank you Marco for responding to my post.

Every year they promise so much samples and every year they end up short for 1 reason or another. Now I know that some folks who say that they are entering drop out at the last minute but to not let folks know is wrong. Also the samples were given out in a strange manner and not all judges got samples. Now the judging itself was HILARIOUS again without all judges getting their ballots in.

Yes we do have VIP Pass available and can be ordered online. Registration will be on Thursday and all judges will get their goody bag when they register. As you can see from the expo site it is updated on a regular basis.

Thank you again Marco, I did some searching on some other forums and there were some complaints. I wish I had have known this before I forked over the cash for the tickets.

Will registration be this Thursday or the Thursday before the Expo? July 15th? With your event there looks to be a lot more activities planned and things to do.

SO, all VIP judges have to be there on thursday, the night before the event begins?

No they don't have to be there on Thursday. I just thought I would make it easier for those that are in town the night before the expo starts because there is going to be a HUGE lineup on the first day of the expo and I myself hate waiting in lineups

I was at the Toronto Cannabis Cup last year and expect to attend again this year. The boat cruise was pretty fun, and certainly the best part. I hated the indoor part at the Latvian House. Very boring. Strange setup made it socially awkward. Hard to meet people, and not good for networking. The boat cruise was the opposite. There was some funny business with the samples. They were handed out after-dark, on one side of the boat. Everyone massed on that side and the boat actually started to tip a bit. The captain had to get on the PA and ask people to disperse, which was a tall order. It was dark and there was no way for them to be sure people didn't grab extra samples or to be sure that you actually got what you are entitled to... The samples were mostly small, and constituted about 5 grams total. Don't get me wrong I had fun and it was worth what I paid -- but I didn't actually pay much. So YMMV.

Don't you go to the HT Cup . Why would you do that? Peace GS

Yes I go to the HT Cup but I go as an exhibitor, NOT to be a judge. Besides I have access to much better smoke here in Canada so why would I waste my money on mediocre stuff that is sold in the coffeeshops during the cup.

If you can get a ticket just for the boat, not-judging, go for it, the cruise was soooo much fun.

Yep I have to agree the boat trip is the best part!
