So from Tuesday the 25-Friday the 28 of November I was in Amsterdam, Holland for the 21st Cannabis Cup.
My trip started out pretty terrible from my point of view. I forgot my passport and macro lens (the lens that allows my to photograph trichomes, crystals, and bugs with great detail) Just about my two most important pieces.
After much arguing, flirting, and yelling with Lufthansa employees I was able to make it through.
The cup started on Sunday so I had missed opening ceremonies but EVERYONE I met was there in amsterdam for that event.
What is the cannabis cup?
I wasn't a judge so if I have details wrong feel free to correct me....
Every November, 25±5 coffee shops enter one cannabis strain and one hash variety. Anyone can be a judge, just pay 250 euros and you get to give your opinion. A few coffeeshops give out their strains for free but often you have to buy it or just get a discount on it.
In the center of amsterdam there is a "convention" where products are pushed, growhouses have stands, etc. You can buy a guest pass for 150 euros, or bribe one of the bus drivers to let you in for 100.
Every night there are events relating to smoking herbs. Dilated peoples, Steel pulse, and Kymani Marley were featured guests this year.
Pretty much Amsterdam fills up with foreign stoners and you get to meet tons of cool people (and not cool people, I cant count how many times I was offered coke this past week [sorry mods, I feel obligated to give a fair warning to all those hopeful future attendees... )
Anyway, I had a great time, and will post a few pictures on here for all of you guys.
I picked up 5 x feminized Strawberry Haze and 5 x Alaskan Ice

I chose Greenhouse seeds because they have doen scientific research on Cannabis DNA which is exactly what we need to promote a world wide medical marijuana movement.
Oh, and their coffeeshop has a plexiglass floor with an aquarium underneath so you feel like your walking on water.... They are very professional, and unfortunately don't ship to the US. Not sure about Canada.
OH and they have won 31 cannabis cups in the past 21 years.
I am in awe of how professional these guys are.
Unfortunately, taking pictures in coffeeshops was VERY frowned upon, and having a joint in my mouth 90% of the time kept me from taking ANY decent pictures, but heres what I got. Enjoy
