Hey if anyone still interested and happy with a 4-1-13 date, reply that your in and I will put this thing together. Do it, Dooooo it, Juust Dooooooooooo it !
I agree we can even goes as far as doing a peoples choice along side the judges panelI'm still very much a new grower, but I'd really LOVE to see this happen in RI and would def participate (just because).
Things we need to move forward: (feel free to add to my brainstorm)
- While I am personally a fan of keeping things smaller and more intimate, I think we could *easily* find 20-30 participants to enter. *If* we market it correctly
- Should we close it to licensed patients/caregivers only? I've seen this work well in other medical Cannabis Cups
- We need sponsors and prizes. It wouldn't be terribly difficult to ask local hydro shops for their participation (spreading the word) and providing gift certs.
- Is "Cannabis Cup" trademarked, copyrighted, etc?
- DATES! When should we make deadlines?
As for voting, I think we'd be hard pressed to CHOOSE a specific panel of judges. There are too many people who are equally "experienced" enough to limit our self to a panel of judges. My suggestion would be that EVERYONE (licensed) who attends can submit a 1-5 rating vote on each strain they try.
I likeOK PEOPLE HERE WE GO!

GROW WELL AND SMOKE BETTER !
I figured with a cut off entry date Ill have plenty of time to gather whats necessary for the size of crowd. I just need to know how big we can go? but i really dont got much to go off so i really dont care how small it is or how big. Its all about the advocacy.Family member works at magazine and could prob get some entries from there as they go to cali and Amsterdam. Ect... in fact one of them won an award or whatever in amsterdam not too long ago... i know some owners of acouple grow stores that would gladly enter and prob go there to show support. If this could get out you could defiantly get some people together and network this.
Although, you should prob set up whos going and any awards or whatever before showing dates ect to network this type of thing. Dont wanna have a failed attempt and then people be shy to start another one and be thought of as a joke. All or nothing!
Just look at this one POST alone lol. Over 1000 views... on one forum. Spread the word and there will be something to be remembered come april. Possible idea is go to stores and tell them its 250-300 donation to have their stand inside and any donated items will be raffled off with proceeds going somewhere of importance and if the turn out isnt greater then a certain number of people attending then they can have the donation to get inside back if they wanted. The donations of the stores would be taken at the entrance of the building so the stores know their donation went directly to the cause. The donations of any cardholders recieved before the event went to renting place and food so if it ends up being small event then cardholders can still hang an smoke
Get in touch with the guy who does thc % testing ect. To give a discounted rate with a stand there to collect strains for people. That would attract people prob. You could have some of importance in community do an interview on what the event is about with media before it starts inside the building with all the stands setup which would deff ensure grow stores to come for the publicity alone. Then ask them to leave before it begins as its only cardholders allowed and for privacy reasons.
