So Cal cup. who's going ?

We are talking about the difference between 18-24% and 30-33%. That's a pretty big difference. Also the buds smell, taste, and smoke different.

Also - I know exactly why the cuts are fake and where the real came from. It was intentional.

hint - any cut purchased at last year's LA cup was a fake cut. That includes what DHN and MO are putting out (which is what most people have)

Damn. Can't trust anyone these days. I was following the thread last year when they released it. They were all we're so generous, and med this and share that. Suckers pulled the bait and switch, eh? On purpose no less. Buncha savages in this business.

Well Joesy did say it was to be released to everyone too.......... but shrug what can you do. It's still more fun than everyone having to smoke some Monstersanto shit and frankly I'd rather have this model than what the FDA and the rest of big government is going to foist upon us if their dreams come true. At least it usually shares out a bit behind the current wave and none of us are being sued by Reynolds or Monsanto when we finally do get access. So I'd rather have this model than that.

I just wish I could get one of their giant cigarette machines. I love smoking joints but HATE rolling them.

The thing about Monsanto is that 99% of what is said about them is a complete myth. They really aren't going around suing people. They've sued two people over patent infringement. In both cases it was over people who were selling their seeds. I know the myths. Monsanto's pollen cross pollinates a farmers crop and then Monsanto sues them. Problem with that is that it's never happened.

Don't believe every story that gets repeated to you. If this was true there would be proof of it since lawsuits are public record.

Yeah, pretty much. Not to say those other cuts aren't good. Some of them are. But they are pretty much the same thing as when Berner put out all those s1 seeds of GSC in 2012. Close, but not quite the original.

I has the real cut :) Got it before the LA cup.

That's not the lawsuit type I was alluding to, next time ask and I'll disambiguate for you, but if you take a moment and re-read you'll see I mentioned the FDA et al. I was discussing how competing amongst a pool of relatively equal growers is one thing. Attempting to compete with a mega corporation and their battalions of lawyers and lobbyists another.

If this is re-scheduled to Class II do you really think they'll source it from any one of us? No matter how much time we spent on it, not unless you have Ph.D. behind your name :) and there's a couple of those guys lurking on this board as well.

LOL good to see you, Dan, wish you could make it to the cup down here. I'm hoping to go but it looks like it's setting up to pour,
Annie

Actually I do. I think you are overestimating them. Phillip Morris and RJR can't even compete in the e-cig market. I'm not scared of people from outside the industry taking my job. I have something they don't. You can't just buy success in a new industry.

If you would have asked people in 1985 they would have told you IBM and Radio Shack would dominate the tech market. TWA and PamAm would own all the airlines. MCI Worldcom would own all telecommunications. Montgomery Wards and Mervyns would be the biggest retail stores in the world.

Success is a lot more complicated than just having money. There is no one in the world right now that knows more about the weed business than the people currently in the business. If you're good at what you do you'll always have a place.

Are you following Sativex? This won't be an RJR Model this will be a pharmaceutical model since it is a medical industry. Why isn't Sativex already released in the US? It's performance in Glioblastoma trials was remarkable. Scaling is the issue.

I hope you are right though. I would love to have a chance to smoke some of your pot and see what the good stuff is actually like, sit and discuss this with you at length. I'd really enjoy that.

Possibly, since the medical corporations couldn't get their ducks in a row rapidly enough there will be a legalized arm where we can continue growing, CO and WA give me hope of that.

But I'd be very surprised if they sourced hectares of Cannabis from any of us :) My best guess is the government fields currently producing for the government supplied patients will simply be scaled up and their product turned over to the labs for extraction and standardization, similar to the Opium model.

the only dispensary that has a legit cut is organicann in Santa Rosa. Still a 10 hour drive from SoCal. I know of a few legit clubs running it. I don't know if they sell it. Like boomspharm. Norstar also is running it. They probably will be just dropping seeds of their strains.

Yes they ALWAYS tell you what you want to hear.

Could of been '79. I can't remember as well but what a great show.
This is the only time I've been to the tiny Orange Show Venue.
Point Blank and Blackfoot opened up for them and Point Blank did a great version
of Deep Purples Highway Star.
How many people can you pack into such a tiny venue for a pot show I ask you!?
The Orange Show is micro small. Teenie tiny lil wee bit place same size as my
living room at home lol. Seriously!
