Rick Simpson’s Hemp-oil Medicine
Fri Nov 13, 2009
From the time he was 12 years old, Rick Simpson just wanted a job so he could make some money. He was smart enough to get by in school without having to open a book, so education wasn’t something he took very seriously. After getting in trouble for supplying his ninth-grade teacher with a case of beer as a Christmas present, he dropped out rather than face the consequences from school administrators. At age 16, he went to work in the steel mills in Ontario, Canada. Two years later, he moved back to his hometown in Spring Hill, Nova Scotia, and got married. Before long, he had a job maintaining boilers for All Saints’ Hospital. Then his cousin was diagnosed with cancer.“They found a little bump on his rib cage and cut him open,” Simpson says. “He went from 200 pounds down to about 130. In 1972, we were having a drink and he collapsed right in front of me. I knew damn well it had to be the cancer coming …READ MORE

When's the best day to arrive at the Cannabis Cup?
Thu Oct 29, 2009
Hey,
Me and my guy wanted to get some advice for coming out to Amsterdam. We were really trying to make it out for the Cup this year however some things with school came up, but we're still dead on making it out there. When is it better to be out there, the weekend before or after?
Appreciated
-DannyANSWER: The best time to arrive at the Cannabis Cup is Friday, Nov. 20th, or Saturday Nov. 21st, the week-end before the event officially starts on Sunday. That way you get a jump on the coffeeshop crawl and get registered before the lines develop.

Interview with the Holland Times
Thu Oct 22, 2009
1. As creator of the Cannabis Cup, can you tell me what inspired this event?
I first came to Amsterdam to write about the Seed Bank, a company started by Nevil Shoenmaker in the late 1980s. While I was in town to interview Nevil, I ran into some American seed merchants who had come to sell Nevil strains. They told me about the harvest festivals that had happened in California before an intensive marijuana crackdown known as C.A.M.P. (campaign against marijuana propagation) stopped them. I immediately thought of holding a similar harvest festival in Amsterdam, where it would be legal.
2. There have been 21 Cups in Amsterdam so far - Why did you choose this city for the Cup?
At the time the Cup started, the Netherlands was the only country in the world that tolerated the sale of cannabis to adults.
3. How many participants do you expect this year? Where are the majority from?
Around 3,000 people show up for the Cannabis Cup. They come from …READ MORE -

For the newbies that don't understand what's going on.... there's a certain dude who posts almost all the hate on this site telling people the Cup is a "ripoff." Truth is, the cultivation seminars alone are well worth the price of admission. Forget about five nights of world class bands and performers, free event t-shirt, free program guide, private bus shuttles and all the schwag the shops give judges. Does it help to know this hater runs his own (poorly attended) imitation Cannabis Cup at a different time of the year? And he can't stand the fact that his event attracts no one while ours brings people from all corners of the globe? Check out the price of a cultivation class at Oaksterdam, and then realize that many of the top growers of the world will be giving classes every day at the expo. Do you want to rub shoulders with the world's biggest pot stars? Then come to the Cup.
