While we here at Gadling do not advocate the use of drugs, we suspect that some of our readers might feel otherwise. And so, as a public service announcement for all you pot heads out there, we’d like to point your pie eyes in the direction of Amsterdam later this month where the 20th annual Cannabis Cup will celebrate five days of getting stoned.
I’m not sure what will happen November 18 – 22 during the festival because the website is a bit short on information; it looks like someone got too baked and forgot to post an itinerary of events.
It does appear, however, that there is some type of competition amongst 21 coffee shops and 25 seed companies. In addition, Tommy Chong and Cheech Marin will be inducted into the Counterculture Hall of Fame. Wow, I can’t believe that it’s taken this long for the poster children of the pot movement to receive this honor. I’m sorry, but are you telling me that there have been 19 better qualified honorees over the last two decades of this festival?!?!
Anyway, if weed is your thing, be sure to head off to Amsterdam for five days of amnesia. Oh, and don’t forget your passport. And your wallet. And your pants. And your shoes. And to tell your boss you won’t be coming in to work. And don’t forget your passport too.
