This is what has been going on for the last few weeks behind the scenes.
On Feb 8th a Concerned 420 resident sent this to HT
Do you guys think its a good idea to be hosting the cup in Glendale? Honestly I lived there for 10+ years and the police are extremely strict. On top of it my brother and I were searched last year for sitting in our car playing with our phones. They found an eighth of prescription cannabis. Even though they saw both of our recs they said "Its up to the court to verify". They gave both my brother and I a separate ticket for one jar. The court also rejected the appeal for "No grounds of law." Hosting there is inviting trouble.
This was HT's Coined responce
The event was moved due to some unforeseen difficulties in receiving the necessary permits from the LAPD, so in order to put on the best event possible, we had to move it to a friendlier venue in Glendale. Thank you for your concerns - I will pass them along - but I am confident we will be able to put on a great event in Glendale without police interference.[FONT=arial, sans-serif]The Owner of the Closet wrote HT a check for 6K and filled out a form with all his info, his name, dispensary registration number and[/FONT]
E-MAIL but HT sends his tickets to the the runner we had drop off the samples?
So Come have a blast it's the people that make these events fun and why we have put up with this type of disorganization. Yes Politicians are putting up road blocks and HT plays a big part in the movement this does not excuse piss poor communication and excuses.
Take this into consideration
Each Weed Entry, Sativa, Indica, and Hybrid are judged by a 3 person panel. One staff member and two seasoned grower smokers. Then why do they need 40 Grams and 500$ for every entry?
The Same applies for Concentrates 20 grams is the entry?
Sounds like a great way to collect a stash to me.
