Ive never gone and since I moved from the Bay Area to the High Desert(I know, I know it sucks) I dont have access to all the latest cannibus culture items including clones. I thought about going because i saw a few seed banks are going to be there and my lady finally wants to get her own rec, so I thought i could come up on some decent flowers and gear.

I am totally uninformed about this event so if anyone has thoughts, things to look for or what to expect, please comment.

When was it again? We keep seeing the signs for it but I dont know if we will go. I went to the kush expo in anaheim and it wasn't too bad.

Better off going to the HT medical cup if you can only go to one. Hempcon won't have a large selection to choose from.

Thank you, this has been informative. Dan Kone, HT Cup ive been to was in SFO at the Cow Palace. Im thinking Spanibis cup in the future if its possible.

Hempcom seemed like an option for the holiday weekend. And to see what they have. Givin the recent L.A cannibus clubs reduction, i agree that there will be a small selection. Ill check it out tomorrow since it "shouldn't" be as busy.

The cool thing about the smaller shows like hempcon is that if it sucks, on the last day all the vendors who didn't make shit for money drop all their prices super low. You can get some amazing deals that way. Got a 9 bag set of 32 gallon BoldtBags for under $200. Best glass deals ever if you wait till right before they are about to package it all up.

Say what? So there are no docs doing recs there? What about the rest of it?

Also, just have your GF go to any walk in clinic. It only takes 30 minutes or so.

I got it straighten out. I was in the heat of the moment when i saw some guy in a lab coat in shorts. He was saying it was gonna cost 125.00 for the rec and the whole year including the "$40" evaluation. I felt like i was misled and they was acting like she couldnt get her ID back becasue she saw the doctor. These dudes walkin around with lab coats were closers to close you on the levels of recommendation. They told my gf in front of me that she could only cultivate 12 plants( 6 mature and 6 immature) Unless you buy the growers license bullshit. I said no we are walking away.. and dude said he was keeping her license. I told dude that he was making me feel desperate and i didnt want to ruin hempcom over some misunderstanding. Because she will walk away with her license. So he gave her a year reccomendation. And that was that. It was the principal. We could have paid more and been ok, but is asked specifically about the cost of it all in detail. And they said 40.00

We met DJ Shorts and the Old Guy from SoCal seed co. He had some strains i took pics of because i handt heard of them.

Man that's crazy that they feel the need to strong arm people into getting their rec's. I mean it already makes california look bad that anyone can get a rec...but when people are trying to FORCE you into one...that's just fucked up.

That's really really fucked up. Let us know what doctor is listed on the rec so everyone knows to stay far away from them.

My mistake was thinking hempcom would have reputable doctors at the show.

Real talk..they were scamming the shit outta people. The owner of the business was all excited like he won the lottery. So i went to a dispensery that i like in L.a. and they tried to verify online and her info was not online and so the dispensery called to verify and same muthafucker (lottery actin dude) with answered.

Omg, this place sucks ass
