GET A FUCKIN LIFE!! No one gives a rat's ass about your personal agenda. So what the fuck do you do all day long? Lets see...go to work-maybe, spend every bit of your spare time talking about how great your blog and Amsterdam are on different forums. Try getting laid and give all of us a brake. This not about you or the only trip you have or will ever make abroad. Enough is enough, I think everyone will start climbing up your ass real soon if you have nothing better to contribute here. Move along to the next event or venue.

Sooo I just booked my trip to Amsterdam for Nov 27th-Dec15th yes im going after the cup to try the winner and have a nice stay lol i was sgoing to book threw apothecary but surprisingly apothecary travel had very good concepts, but VERYYYY expensive, they were asking 2300 for a one week stay per person! Where on the other hand, me booking my trip for a 18day stay for 2 people only came out to be 3000, hmmmmm makes you wonder yeah? Now what is this ban i been hearing about? Is it only for tobacco or what, I just hope i didnt choose to go at the wrong time. any help will be appreciated.

Tony,

Sorry to hear that happened to you as well. I have to believe that Chad will eventually get what he deserves. Did you notice that he has no adds in April's High Times? He always had adds in High Times and I see nothing for him under WABT or TTWW. So hopefully High Times has blocked his bullshit at least in thier Mag. Hopefully blogs like this will help keep other people from booking with him.--Baby and Pookie

Hi,

I'm a solo traveller male pot head from the UK. I'm going to Queens day (Konninginnedag)on 30th April and staying near the museumplien so if anyone wants to meet up for a smoke let me know. My local Coffeeshop will be Greenhouse Namaste. I'm photographing the event for a London magazine. I arrive on the 29th so I'll stock up with weed and hash from Greenhouse and De Dampkring the night before cos I know it'll be a long que in the coffeeshops on Queensday.

Cannabis girl i definitely remember the crowding of buses leaving the power zone. I remember one of the couple of buddy babes at the cup screaming let us the fuck off as the driver was wanting to wait to unload until he got to the front of the powerzone. However, I have to say the one time I caught a greenhouse van back to their shop from the powerzone was the best.

Chad

Feb 29 2008, 4:51 pm

never claimed to be 'chad' from wake and snake. but that doesn't mean my names not chad and doesn't mean i'm not laughing all the way to the bank. stir up sh*t of course.been there four years never heard so many whiners before. just thankful i still got a little blue cheese left from barney's to go with that whine.hats off to apothecary travel get you high first and even if there was a problem it wasn't a problem. didn't here anybody bitchin most said "damn thats good" and no i'm not with them i book my own travel. after all isn't that the way it's supposed to be 'getting high' instead of cs travel's abstinence cruise. i mean really a 420 cruise you can't get high on.it really was the only hour spent awake and not getting high.and a shout out to the real usbonglord from the guy that was at the next table bitching asking "was getting kicked off the boat a bad thing"

Feb 29 2008, 3:12 pm

maybe high times should make you register a valid email before you are allowed to blog or they could do like they say they will and monitor the posts and delete inappropriate comments and foul language before they post it.

Buddy Babes

Feb 29 2008, 3:01 pm

just trying to point out how ridiculous and pointless all this crying about chad is either sue him or get over it but cursing and threatening people on the blog is useless and should be stopped. I think we shouild concentrate more on the good times to come and not the past everyone knows by now chad is a jerk who ripped people off the info is out lets move on.

USBONGLORD what????

Feb 29 2008, 12:25 pm

Bong you forgot a couple of things Apothecary is doing on top of flight!

They pick you up frpm the airport with a BIGsmile, and smoke! You get special goodie bag from the GreenHouse that only AT travelers get, which includes tshirts, hoodies, a backpack, rolling papers, books on amsterdam, map of amsterdam, redlight district outline,and smoking supplies, and SMOKE!!! Then in addition to that you get access to the exclusive AT party thrown. And this year they are going to have a special Thanksgiving dinner for all of AT travelers at the green house!

So weigh your options. Worry about trip, or have someone book it for you!

brett from apothecary:
i am far from a hater! i respect the fact that you took care of folks who were duped by the now-infamous chad and his wake and snake travel company. i even considered going w/you guys before i checked the prices on my own. i like how no one here who has traveled with your company has anything bad to say. kudos to your win at the cc. however, you did make it seem as if everyone who did not book w/you had to wait for passes, etc., in order to promote your business which i consider spreading misinformation. if you plan appropriately, you can do everything on your own. that's all i'm saying. i spent a lot less money, and i didn't get screwed. there is no need for the acrimony.

I have been to the last 4 cups and nothing has matched the atmosphere and crowd exuberance of the 17th cup opening ceremonies i thought a larger venue that was not so crowded would be better but it totally ruined the atmosphere. Move the venue back to the melkweg and see if you can recapture its soul . The blogs after that cup lacked the bitching and infighting that has cropped up this time. Let us try to remember the reason we go and mellow out and just enjoy. peace and smoke to all.

Hey Bret at Apothecary!
I love the way you work to get parties going!

The best party I've been to at the Melkweg, was one year they had a DJ spinning some good dance music. It was the best crowd there with everyone dancing and passing joints. They need to do that again. The bands last year were great, but the crowd energy was to mellow. There's nothing better than some good bud and a good beat to enjoy it by!
Take care!
Thinking about going to the Seattle Hempfest with you guys, if I can round up the extra funds!

Please get a different band PLEASE! Los Mariuanos or should I say pony boy in particular does not know when to shut up !!If he is any where on stage you will here his big mouth for sure ! And to all the performers who throw out freebies how about giving some out to the people on the front rows, after all we are the first ones there early enough to get good spots to see the performance so why not reward us for waiting in place all day just to see you guys ! Get Damien Marley how about it ......put some of your profits on some QUALITY acts for once!

http://www.studentcity.com is the site for students info and travel advisary for Student going on Spring Break in all different places. i just emailed them but they have a toll free call number and pysical address to contact them. At least this way we can get a WARNING out there to everyone about this thieve. I already told them to come over here and check out this forum as well as they will be getting more emails and calls from those that had this unbelieveable fleecing.

Apothecary Travel could not have done anything that would compare to how bad Wake And Bake Travel Sucked!

I spent hours watching the Apothecary folks greet people at the airport while we could not find our retards from Wake And Bake Travel..

Everyone we spoke with from Apothecary seemed very pleased.

Juryforeman:
That was a good deal you got a Krasnapolsky, which shows it can be done.
Bookings.nl has them on their site, and they do offer deals if you plan in advance.
I do know people who have done Apothecary, and they say it was good value for the money paid.
I book my own travel, btw.

Feb 15 2008, 6:21 pm

I can't believe how many people whine about the trip.

I almost booked my trip through Apothecary Travel. If it hadn't been for some unusual circumstances that came up I would have. They did everything in their power to get me the trip I needed. They returned my emails and Bret and his wife talked with me on the phone. They were wonderful. When I got to the early check-in on Saturday, they were running it, and everything went smoothly! If things wouldn't have gotten so convoluted I would have gone with them. Very pleasant, caring people! They are what the counter culture is all about. Nice, real people that anyone would enjoy hanging with.
As for you whiners, go punch a cop so we don't have to read your words for a couple of years! Please!!!!!!!!!

i my cousin and i booked our own trip martinair comfort class 750.00 junior apt at the 5 star krasnapolsky 10 days 1000.00 judges pass 200.00 total 1950.00 each. i had a great time with the exception of the hour or so i spent on the abstinence cruise with cs travel. all it takes is a little time on the computer and you can do it too. i have to say i have yet to hear one bad word about apothecary travel and the king of cannabis treats everyone like royalty always greets me personally and takes time to talk to everyone my favorite place to hang. ive been to the last 4 cups always booked my own trip but if you dont want the hassle and are willing to pay it seems apothecary is the only way to go im not advertising for them but just read the blog W&B and CS are out who else is left. however you go enjoy the cup and say hi to Aryan for Dave

Wow! someone out there has a lot of time on thier hands to come up with these conspiracy theories that I post under differnt names. In fact, it would appear that I am one of only a few who will use their real names.

I am Bret Bogue, the owner of apothecary travel. I am not ashamed to tell you who I am, yet people like USBONGLORD (who really doesn't have anything of substance to say) and icallbullsh-t (the conspiracy theorist), why hide behind fake names? Tell us who you really are. If you have a problem with me, just say so. Tell me about it. Don't try to bag on my company's reputation. You will not succeed.

Book on your own if you want to. Book with us if you want to. At least with us you will have a great time. Those who traveled with us last year know the truth.

Well I am not scared to put my real name. I went with AT and I had a great time. Let me just say that the best part of the trip was being with AT, cause the cup was lame, I thought the cup would be better than it was, it seemed like 100 people in a tent feeling! I had a blast at Green House seed company sitting with Jeanette and Bret getting my brains smoked out by Richard and Aryan and being treated like a VIP. If I had paid and just got to go to the cup I would have been very disappointed. It was nice to have he transport taken care of knowing that you had a cool driver to pick you up- Bret even sent him with a joint to give u to smoke on the way to the hotel! It is the little things that made it worth using a company. And let me tell you that Bret is working the whole time he is there practically making sure that everyone is taken care of and happy, you always see him running around getting shit done! Oh yeah and Los Marijuanos- Those cats are hella fun to kick it with, Viva Los Marijuanos!
That is my piece.

VIP is retarded

This is to i call bullsh-t
What is the hell do you mean get my story straight. How dare you disrespect me like that! Why call me lire! You don’t even know me. I was left there at the airport! Yes it is my 2 time around, if I was young I could do it on my own. Besides I like to meet new people and have fun. You never heard me talk bad about anyone, yes I got screwed too, but remember you make it the way you want. I did talk to some of AT travelers over there. I was sitting by myself at one of the coffeeshops and they asked me if they could sit down party with me. (Who in there right mind would say NO). I asked them where they got the Ganja Note; they told me everyone in their group has one. That way, when they were out and seen one, they knew they were with AT. They were telling me that they were partying with Pony and his boys, Blaze and Pyrx. They even had a chance to go back in the secured VIP lounge and even backstage. When Redman was on stage so was a lot of AT travelers. They hung out with the true freedom fighters like Eddy Lepp, Jack Herer (They traveled with them to). Eddy’s camera man was even filming the tour so they would have a DVD of trip. The only grief and confusion is people like you who over run their thoughts with their fingers. Well I have a finger for you! Remember they won the Breeders cup for Kaia Kush. Sounds like they had the good answers.

5 years and AT is still goin strong! Mr. "i call bullsh-t", why do you call them apocrappy? They are not crappy, they are a stand up company. What lies do u refer to get strait? AT is not a stoner company, nd if they were, they can teach the others how to get the job done. Brettt from AT was at the parties, and all his people were taken care of. So, hater, book your own trip and let those who want to book through the others book them. Stop hating@!

I keep reading these comments. You guys know what W&B did! You know what CS did. Well like some one wrote you never heard what Apothecary Travel did. This is my 2nd time going to Amsterdam and I have went with the first 2 companties. (NO TLC) Well I did some research. This will be Apothecary 5th year! I contacted the Better Business and they have never had any complaints. Listen people. If you are in this type of work and NO ONE bitched about you.. Hats off! I will be going this year and I had called and talked to Bret and the prices are at a great price right now, Soon as I get my Tax check back I am booking. I want to Party and feel like some one cares about me (Not just take my money and leave me stranded). Some one here said Bret helped a W&B couple get to there hotel. What a heart.
Peace brother Peace.
I though the reason for the cup was to smoke the worlds best. The dutch opens their town for us Americans. No matter who wins, the though of being over there and making new friends from around the world would be wonderful. Why Bi**h... You make your trip the way you want it to be.
See you in Amsterdam!

I got an email yesterday from a friend in Amsterdam who works in the Club industry there. He heard that the Amsterdam City Council is planning on raiding this years Expo and closing it and all of the participating Coffeeshops for the week of the Cup. This news came to him from an old girl friend who works on staff for the City.
Has anyone heard about this? She made it sound like they already have a special group working on it. Someone should get in touch with a few coffeeshops and ask them.
I hope not! I was thinking of taking a few friends with me for this year!

Arjan definitely was a showman. If he was in the room, you knew it. Yeah, he's really commercial and all, but seemed like a genuinely nice guy. Granted his warez leave a little to be desired, but he really seems to love his job. Who wouldn't?

The taste was what turned me off from the GH stuff I tried. The King Hassan was the only stuff that I was impressed by taste-wise. The smaller shops definitely had better tasting buds.

was anyone else disgusted by the fact that barneys bought out the cup? i mean come on! winning best product for their free bag!? wtf was that! thats not a product! yeah it was the best freebie at the cup but i dont think it was worth voting for them in every category for! the only cup they really deserved 1st place for was best booth...the g13 haze was good but definately not the best... and its not like im anti-barneys because their blue cheese is my favourite dope on the planet...i just felt it was really unfair that they won all the cups

I though I would wait until things calmed down before I posted my comment. This was my first time in Amsterdam. I was one of the foolish ones that went with W&B. When I came out of Arrival 2 I seen only one companty there. I want to say I am very sorry to the Angel from Apothecary, whom was there (being a smart ass as I am)I had to say some thing to her. She told me just remember A is at the begining or something like that, she also told me I would regret saying that about W&B being the best. She was right ( I did not have a room) Later in one of the Coffee shops I ran into her and some of AT traveler's. She invited us to sit down and party with them. She is a very sweet lady and she brought out her personal stash and smoked it with every one. She just wants to see people have a good time and that she did. I enjoyed that time with her and her sons the Los Marijuanos. (GREAT MUSIC,she should be proud!!!!) well to make a long story short. APOTHECARY you will be getting a call from us, because if someone will spend time like Judy did with everyone (traveler or not) has a heart of GOLD and like she said "We are one big happy family" That still sticks with me! Why can't every one be like her.
Love one another. We would be better off!

APOTHECARY if Judy is going next year, count me in. I will be checking your site soon.

See,

Jan 25 2008, 8:43 pm

hi, I was traveling with suzanarama and everything she said about Brett, Jeanette and Judi is more than true, Brett was great getting us from the airport into the hotel. After 16+ hours in airplane/port hell and 1st timers to Europe it was really great to have Judi settle us in for a few hours, with her smoke and buying all the drinks too! Brett really cut us a deal and beat out cs tours after I told him about stopping payment at wake and bake just before they cashed the check. We really got vip treatment and rides to the concerts, also got to meet Eddy Lepp and Jack Herrer, actually sitting next to em while hightimes was getting an interveiw. We were there when ht took pics of the Kia Kush in the cup at the Greenhouse centrum and the Kia in the cup pic was what we had left, how cool our weed in the cc. Nothing quite like traveling with a cannibis cup winner, Jeanette even got us High times cup hoodies not just the t shirts, yea we didn`t get the pipes yet but Jeanette said she would try to get them for us. I am more than able to book the trip myself and handle getting around without a travel co this year, but I will go through apothecary again just cause they treated us really right and are great people, Hi Guys !

suzannarama

Jan 25 2008, 7:58 pm

Add me to the list of people who were very satisfied with Apothecary Travel. Brett picked us up from the airport, bought me a drink, and had a van ready to take us to our hotel, complete with local lunatic driver and some pretty good hash. He checked us in; we didn't have to do a thing. Then he passed us on to his assistant, who took us to the Greenhouse and smoked us out with her own personal stash. We REALLY needed that--that alone made it worth booking the trip through an agency. Brett also gave us some Kaia Kush & Grape Ape... it was really nice to have stuff that not a lot of other people could get.

Only problem was just a little one: the pipes we were promised were not delivered. But I'm still hoping we'll get them some day. If not, no biggie...I'd book with Apothecary again.

Thanks, Bret, Jeannette & Judi!

Heads Up People!!!!
I got an email from a lawyer friend in Belgium, who works in both Belgium and The Netherlands. He was at the Dutch parliament last week and got some news that there is a big push getting ready to start, to get the Cannabis Cup canceled for the future. I had heard this from my favorite coffeeshops owner when I was there for the cup. They were very worried, with all the closures happening around the country.
My friend didn't give many details, since the people discussing it were enjoying it as a laugh and he didn't want to sound too interested.
We should send emails to the government to express our thanks and appreciation regarding the event and how much we enjoy it there!

Ok, Ren guy, this is Bret, the owner of apothecary travel and seeds. I was just informed by my employee about your comment of spreading misinformation. I don't need to spread misinformation to sell my travel packages. My company and its reputation speak for themselves. Why wait in line at all? We take care of everything for you. You obviously didn't have a problem getting your pass early as you arrived early. but for those who arrived on Sunday, they were screwed standing in line.

So, Ren, book your own package and don't be a hater. for those of you who want a great deal on a package WITHOUT having to wait, look us up. www.apothecarytravel.com

Packages are available starting feb 1st.

To anyone who may have a problem with my company, call me 877-687-6461 and let me know.

You are too funny. The only one getting wound up is you. And now the big problem is that too many people show up??

Patti Smith, Fishbone, Galactic, 311, moe, HonkyTonk HomeSlice, George Clinton, Kottonmouth Kings, are but a few of the bands that have performed at the Cannabis Cup. What bands ever performed at the IC Cup? None...ooops. And by the way, GN, if you want to pass for an American, better stop using words like, "larf," "blighty" and "bang up." Americans don't talk like that. Maybe it's all the alcohol....

Who are you accusing of being GN?

A troll can be pro or anti an argument. So although your right about a troll being about baiting. A post about how HT is brilliant all you people who have a problem with them suck is as much a troll. Only going to explain this to you once as your assuming to be HT staff twice.

Also not all comments have been about one rogue travel agent. Was this the reasoning for regular two hour or more delays.

I love the we are getting 3000 a day orders for passes lol. Ive been generous on reckoning a 1,000 attendee's given the floorspace & the busing arragnements. Two 50 seaters at one journey each way per hour gives 800 journeys back & forth over the eight hours. The busses weren't exactly jumping to move but if they had been they could have pulled of a few more journeys.

I really just passed by while reading about another announcement so happy to leave you with the 3000, better check the Melkweg fire regs allows for that number or next year you'll have folk beatchin how they enjoyed Moe from outside.

If this sounds like a troll coment on the last its because I seriously doubt you are HT staff.

If they were to get involved in posting to a bitchfest like this the max business 101 says is to acknowledge the errors & if anyone has a spoecific complaint feel free to contact customer servics. Also it is a good larf windin you up.

Ooooooohhhhhh Noo another brit comment. Vas is dis, Ve shall only talk to & das commenten vrom Ah Mercans.

Pass # TA 1104 & TA 1105

Two you won't need to worry about anymore & with the Spannibus, IC 420 Cup & Hempfest I have no need to set another one up under my own name or any other as much as you may like it to be seen as a troll savaging your perfect event.

GN, professional HT troll

Jan 17 2008, 1:54 pm

GN is English. He uses lots of names. Pretends to be a judge from America. But Americans don't use words like blighty and bang on. GN tried to organize his own Cup in Amsterdam, but nobody came. So now, GN spends hours every day on discussion groups blasting the Cup and HT. He also drinks a lot.

Busted...

Troll defined

Jan 17 2008, 1:29 pm

An Internet troll is someone who posts controversial messages with the intention of baiting others into an emotional response. The real people who have posted positive statements about the Cup are not the trolls. The trolls are the ones who spout negativity and personal insults.

TDC

Jan 17 2008, 1:09 pm

How much is a ticket to the Super Bowl? Several thousand dollars. In fact, the parking fee at the stadium costs more than a Cannabis Cup pass. And do they give you a free t-shirt, free program guide, free transportation, and free beer at the stadium? The Cannabis Cup is the super bowl of pot. All the best breeders in the world attend. You can stand next to some of the world's biggest pot super stars. If you don't like the event, don't come. But also realize that two or three trolls come to this site every day to post negative comments under different names. We are already selling lots of passes to happy Cup attendees who plan to return this year. Yes, we had some problems with a new travel agent last year. We will do a better job of screening the travel agents this year. Think about it, who would have an agenda to blast High Times with negativity day after day? If you don't like the Cup, please stay away. You will never like it. But if you want to spend five days and nights in Amsterdam with 3,000 others sampling new pot strains and seeing some great bands and attending cultivation seminars by the best breeders in the world, then maybe the Cup is for you.

Beenthereanddoneit

Jan 17 2008, 7:16 am

Slight Adendum

There has been a lot of posts supporting travel by Apothecary. Not advertising on there behalf but have to admit there travelers were looked after throughout all the delays. Suggests to me if its a place you can visit anytime organise your own but if it is a large cost one off that your hoping to have long term good memories off its worth considering a tour company that actually has a reputation of doing its job.

In fact your comment about Trolls is more appropriate to the odd few praising HT. I made exactly the same comments on my judging form you knw the bit at the bottom of the votng paper where they ask for comments. Or at least you would if you were actually there. If you have a big problem on behalf of High Times I'll post my pass number if you have the bottle to provide post your own.

Nugs & Slighted have it bang on. A'dam is excellent coffeshops & seed dealers will give you a blast just don't bother with the pass buy a day voting pass if you must & pay to get into the gigs you want at the actual time they start. You will end up with a better front row position than the full judges who have drifted off from getting bored.

HT could not organise a piss up in a brewery.

.... a program guide a t-shirt....

If your lucky.. lol

I would arrive a few days early as last years tshirts and guidebooks were all but gone by the time we arrived at Amensia (got there a day before the cup even starte too)

And th Expo.... HA. no luck there either.. and the task of just getting there.... a whole nother story.

Hopefully it's better organized for stoners sake!

Thank you for the update on the Merry Pranksters being inducted.
Since the smoking ban is going into effect July 1, hopfully they can find a venue for the Expo that will allow smoking.

Be advised that a few trolls keep pounding this site with negative comments using different names. In reality, the Cannabis Cup is the world's greatest pot party. Your pass gets admission to five days and nights of activities, parties, concerts, ceremonies, seminars. It also gets you freebees from many competitors. It also gets you free smoker-friendly bus tours around town, a program guide and a t-shirt. In today's entertainment world, the Cup ticket is a bargain and the price hasn't changed in over ten years. The Merry Pranksters are being inducted in 2008, so let's hope they bring their psychedelic bus! See you there!

I agree with slighted!! DO NOT BUY A CANNABIS CUP PASS!!! Not worth the $150-$175!! You dont get any samples...well Barney's hooked it up! Everyother place makes you PAY to get bud! Better off pocketing that money and enjoying coffee shops in town!

I was really pissed to find this out! Convention center sucked only DNA and Kiwi Seeds hooked up free samples! Buddha was a douche bag, Soma was selling his stash..call him a drug dealer now, cause his seeds are LAME!)

So beware of the convention they have nothing to offer!!

1st time to the cup and the dam,alaska still has the best herb,there was nothing close to what we do up here.I booked my trip myself and all was great I stayed at a quiet hotel 20 minutes from the CS,The moroccans were out in full force looking to scam and rip people off. too bad for the one I socked,DONT MESS WITH ALASKANS,EVER!!,Anyway I met some great people at cafe Roos in de pijp.better than the smoke shops,there was a few near my hotel that the people were cool,I might go back next year,maybe bring samples of some great stuff,The bus had much to be described but all in all was a decent expierence.Thanks HIGHTIMES,Also thanks Tommy Chong for taking a photo with me OUTSIDE THE ZONE,You were kinda in a shitty mood but still cool thanks again. PEACE MAN,AMGA

The cup was a blast. Amsterdam is off the hook. I can't stop dreaming about going back. Planning a trip for Nov. this time getting a house boat. I don't think I'd pay 200 for the judge pass again. Did anyone get a day pass? Do you still get to try some samples?

For you WABT customers if any of you were luck enough to be in blighty when you bought the package you might get them covered under these regs.

www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si19923288_en_1.tm

The Package Travel Regulations.

There will also be a EUropean version & as microscrap found out companies from outside the EU operating in the EU can be held to EU regulations.

However there should also be a US version as I have seen insurance for package travel agencies to cover them for there liabilities under US contract law. Try talking to a lawyer you might find if enogh individuals were reporting it could be considered fraud.

2007 Cannabis Cup was the best experience I had since I lost my virginity. The herbal experience was the best and everyone at the expo were uncanny. I can not wait to return in 2008, 2009, 2010 until I'm as old of dirt. I still have not clean my sweater that has the smell of haze, hash, and all of Amsterdam's delights.

I have written some of Chad's sponsors, stopped my subscription to HT, and have contacted Chad, all to no avail. I took my two sons to Amsterdam spending close to $10k on air and WABT. I used WABT because of the idea they were backed or sponsored by HT. I wish I had follwed my gut and used Apothecary. Chad I hope there is karma and it is instantaneous!

Hey Apothecary your web site isn't to Linux & Mozila friendly m8 do you have any decent deals for europeans thinking about going to seattle?

Can understand you not wanting the comparison with WABT & yes I think the HT project management couldn't time their own bowel movements. But there is also some pretty good word of mouth advertising for you here.

From somewhere north of england & I suit the stingy bastard stereo type as I like a bargain. LOL
I can arrange budget carriers etc.. quite easy but would be interested to see if you did have some packages.

Jan 5 2008, 3:25 pm

hey Marc from sf, I recently bought something called Bubble Kush (not bubblegum), and it was so fabulous. I don't know much about the strain, but I'm in Philly and that's what I've been smoking lately. My brother told me it is a combo of Bubblegum and Cali Kush. We aren't experts though, just enjoyers!!!

right on, man!

You got the name right. It was Bbret from apothecary that treated us right. and I got bthe cheapest package from apothecary and was treated like a king!

I have advertised in HT for 4 years now. can you point to any complaints about my company? and WABT was only one company who failed. He advertised in a very sneaky way to make you THINK he was the official company. read it carefully. he adveretised "your official cannabis cup 'connection'. As for the active link on WABT site, WABT has to remove it.

I am not sticking up for them, I just don't want my company to be compared to his as being shady or a failure.

WE provided what we advertised. and people were happy with my service.

Advert. Code of Conduct

Jan 5 2008, 10:58 am

It has become increasingly apparent to all the readers and subscribers of High Times that the TRANS HIGH CORPORATION WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT OF OF HIGH TIMES MAGAZINE, ALONG WITH MARY C. McEVOY/PUBLISHER, MICHEAL CZERHONIAK/ADVERTISING DIRECTOR, MICHELLE ZARETSKY/DIRECTOR OF MARKETING, and SHEILA AVON/CONTROLLER do not require advertisers to sign on to a Code of Conduct for its advertisers' products and/or services advertised in their publication or on their websites. From comments posted High Times was/is fully aware of WAKE and BAKE TRAVEL claiming to be the "OFFICAL SITE FOR HIGH TIMES TRAVEL" and elected not to make/force Wake and BAKE TRAVEL change/edit its advertising copy that continued to appear on HIGH TIMES WEBSITE for a number of consecutive months. Knowing this NOW, WHY WOULD ANYONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND CONTINUE TO MAKE PURCHASES FROM ANYONE THAT CHOSE TO ADVERTISE THEIR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IN HIGH TIMES MAGAZINE? I have no reason to suspect that another advertiser(s) would not try to cheat me also. S

Far from a Shady company, they stood behind everything they said they would!

Im traveling with them next year!!

To whoever posted as "rocknar":

Nice you were able to put your package together. It really is not that hard.

But I take insult at you grouping my company with WABT and calling me a "shady travel company". DO NOT EVER COMPARE MY COMPANY TO THE LIKES OF WAKE AND BAKE TRAVEL. We are in 2 different leagues and Chad cannot compete with us. Can you find one complaint in here about apothecary travel?

For those who want to book their own trips, it is easy. For those who want a package taken care of i.e. not standing in line for hours to get yoru pass, call us. n 877-687-6461.

HT/WABT relationship

Jan 3 2008, 2:38 pm

Yeah, I think it is time for all of us to stop and evaluate exactly what influences our purchases of the various sundries we consume daily during the enjoyment of herbal products. Do we continue to show support for the advertisers and sponsors of both High Times magazine and WAKE AND BAKE TRAVEL by continuing to purchase their products? Or should we put all the vendors of both High Times magazine and WAKE and BAKE TRAVEL on notice of our intent to discontinue all future purchases as well as cancellation of the balance of our High Times magazine subscriptions until or "when and if" the conflicts between WAKE AND BAKE TRAVEL and their customer base from the 20th HIGH TIMES CANNABIS CUP are resolved? We all have a lot of choices....You only get screwed if you allow it.

This was my first cup and I had a great time. I didn't go through WABT or Apothecary or any other travel agency, I bought my own plane tickets (KLM has some of the prettiest female flight attendants, BTW!) - found my own place to stay and got my own Cup Judge badge the old fashioned way, I bought it direct.

My opinion is that people get their experience from the Cup from that what you put in. If you expect the trip will be bad in some way, then something happens that triggers the self-fulfilling prophecy.

But if you book the trip yourself instead of leaving it in the hands of shady travel agencies that can easily fail you, then the chances are greater that you will experience Amsterdam in a better way.

I'd be ready to save up every penny I had to go back next November. You don't need WABT to plan a trip to Amsterdam, you can do it yourself with just a little thought and planning.
