Nice one Franco. SeenTheLight on here was at your place on Friday when you brought the cup in - said he had a blast and really enjoyed the Super Lemon Haze.

While I was there, I had nowt to do with the Cup until Friday when I hooked up with Mrhaze and Danny Danko at the GHS.

What amazed me was that the upstairs of the GHS was full of the glitterati of the scene and there just wasn't all that much weed being smoked, the Dutch lady who does the TV reports took my lighter and to my disgust when I looked round, they were all smoking cigarettes.

Never saw Arjan, Derry or Franco with a joint at all, apart from that big one Franco rolled that tasted like burning hair. I spent a little while chatting to the girl with the green top, dreads and henna tattoos, and she was a lot cuter in the flesh than in Franco's pics, but that whole crew of people weren't doing much weed smoking at all!

I bought a fair few samples of CS weed and with the odd exception, it was bad, the LA Con from Tweede Kamer and 420haze were the highlights, I thought the 420Haze was a pheno of SSH, or perhaps NL5/Haze. The GHS Haze entry was poor indeed, and the Utopia Haze was bad too, to me this year, it seemed there was a whole lot of vaguely lemony average at best Haze of one type of another floating around.

Karma's Happy Brother dry sift, IBL's Oil and Devil's Harvest's Devil's Dust hash were the best things I smoked, the only weed highlight I can really remember was the Chocolope. Wasn't impressed at buying Sour Diesel and getting PP, same with the Trainwreck sample I bought, that was PP too. Also seems there is no good blueberry left to be had in the Dam, the samples I tried were probably Soma's Lavender as that had that light floral lavender taste and none of the lovely berry ness or the great high, mediocre indeed.

Amsterdam had got terribly expensive, this will probably be my last visit for a long while, the whole thing was pretty mediocre.

yes, the 420Cup (as any other blind-judging context) is far more valuable when it comes to select good pot.
But the HTCC is the biggest and most fun cannabis event on the calendar, something every smoker and grower should try once in their lives.
It's awesome to see so many people in Amsterdam at the same time, racing through the coffeeshops and smoking huge amounts of pot, and partying together.
The concerts are grat, the atmosphere is killer....
people make friends with total strangers in less than a minute, and before it's all over the crews are tighter than they have ever been.

In my opinion, the HTCC rocks. :yes

i agree with franco ,
i used to take to much time constantly bitching about it .... now i just enjoy the cup , the parties and people . the weed actually comes second ..... it would be wrong to assume an event as big as the cup would reflect the true views about strains and cannabis .... the people that attend seem to be on a holy grail .... if it was so serious there would be little for the newbie . and it would be a smaller affair ......

It takes money and a commercial centre of weed like the dam to make the cups work ...… without all the hype and the potential money gain , there would not be enough inventive to enter or run the cup. And remember its a flippin business ... money does come first in business ...…

A true cup would be held by breeders and for breeders only . I my self would value the opinion of fellow breeders over smokers .... It makes sense that people who also breed should be qualified to test others work …

My point is at this point .... Why would we invite many other people to taste our weed . For what gain or reason would this serve ... it would eventually end up like the ht cup ...…
I would then have to grow lots of weed and be pressured when all I wanted to do was get my stuff tested ......…

i think people should be looking at the cannabis cup with less seriousness .... cannabis cup is kinda a generic name now , most of us just see it as a cannabis festival . and all the votes are related to the whole event and not so much on the weed in a technical and serious way . there for leaving it open and expand into some thing more progressive in the terms of people that smoke weed and grow can further more enjoy smoking and socialising with others ....

It may move away from the weed side and gain more popularity as a social cannabis event ... the winners are not taken so seriously any more ...… its more fun now ...… like others said there are other cups that cater for a more serious cannabis world ....

much love for all cannabis awareness .... i met some good friends at the cup .... and some true conisures ...
cant be that bad or we would go back for more ....

well our crew is not allowed to smoke when working, and most of them were working. arjan smoked a lot of weed this week but he can't be toking all the time. franco on the other hand smoked about 200 spliffs per day hahahha

so you thought our entry was poor. how come it had 250 more votes than second place. whatever man. :giggle that's your opinion, why don't you make our entry next year

respect bro!
Finally someone gets the whole thing and explains it properly!

It's not meant to be the holy grail of judging the best cannabis.... not no more.
It's the biggest cannabis party in Europe, and one of the most famous.
I see the HTCC since 1997, and every year I see some people coming back and meeting old friends, and some newbies meeting the old-school, and a lot of info get exchanged (besides the spliffs, bongs, balloons and god knows what other tools.....)
It's a true meeting for growers, smokers, breeders, and a lot of alternative funny carachters that popolate the counterculture on both sides of the ocean (and the channel....).

I did my first cup as a judge in 1997, before I started working for Green House. And then I moved on, many things happened, and now I am one of the winners. Maybe that's why I love it so much. It's just been a constant part of my life for a long time....

anyway, I am looking forward to the next one already (and to the more technical events as well.....).

:dance

and yes, I also loved the Chocolope. And the Bullrider from my friend Marco Renda was by far the best I've smoked at the Cup this year. Another very classy entry was the Grape Ape from Apothecary.
respect to all 3!
