6th Annual Toronto Cannabis Cup
 
After arriving at the Toronto Pearson Airport June 11 we picked up the rental van and a portable GPS (dubbed Kelly's bitch). As long as Kelly had his bitch (portable GPS) on his lap she would direct us just fine. When anyone else touched Kelly's bitch she refused to work properly. Telling us to stay left and then telling us to turn right and then change her mind and telling us to turn left. Bud, Debbie, Keith and Kelly drove to the Hotbox / Roach O Rama in the Kensington Market to meet Marge Groenendyk, Grama Dee,
Kass Grant, John Snow, Rich Hewitt and Bill a Treating Yourself medical cannabis activist group. The four of us were treated like old friends by this super group of people. After munching on some brownies, smoking a cone joint and even more joints we were feeling great and ready to continue our adventures.
 
Next stop was the Best Western Hotel to check in and drop off our luggage. When Debbie and I stepped off the elevator we knew we were on the right hotel floor with the strong smell of sweet freedom filling the 18th floor. Next was to find some good food and a trip to Niagara Falls. Kelly spotted a buffet style restaurant where we filled up on Chinese food. By the time we got close to Niagara Falls the rain was coming down hard. Debbie hopped out of the rental van and took some quick pictures. It was getting late and we were all tired from the long day. We arrived back to the hotel just before 11:00 pm for some much needed rest.
 
June 12 we headed to the Kindred Cafe to hook up with Marco Renda, Michelle Rainey, Fred, Kevin and many others. Kindred Cafe staff commented they had not had that many people in the cafe in a some time. A number of high quality cannabis strains flowed freely amongst us all. Next stop was some good food and then off to the evenings 3 hour boat tour where samples were handed out to all attending the 6th Annual Toronto Cannabis Cup. Lots of cannabis, food, drinks and lots of good fun with many good people was made to order for all to enjoy. After the evening boat tour the party continued at a hall on College Street.
 
June 13 we were off to Clandestiny - Puff Mamma Bakery. We found out we had the old address for Clandestiny - Puff Mamma Bakery.  Reroute to Vapor Central to hook up with Bongs and Such crew and a local Toronto activist Hudsonrulez. Vapor Central was very modern with very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Hudsonrulez was kind enough to allow me to try his portable vaporizer. Hudsonrulez offered to be our tour guide to get us to Clandestiny - Puff Mamma Bakery and introduce us to the people there.
After many more joints were consumed in the company of good people we were ready for some good food again. We just had to lunch at a restaurant called Prohibition. Our server was a B.C. native that had lived in Calgary and was in Toronto for a few months then he was going back to London, England where he had moved to from Calgary.
 
We arrived at the hall around 6:00 PM and the smoky party was well under way. Lots more joints, demonstrations, live entertainment, prize give a ways and a whole lot more. Ron and Robin know how to put on a super good time for a large crowd. We had the pleasure of meeting and enjoying some time with Matt Beren (VICS B.C. Supreme court Feb. 2009 fame). The hall was packed with so many great people
we had the pleasure of meeting and partying with. Some were old friends and we all made many new friends. I was lucky enough to scoop a rare Willy Jack cannabis strain we brought home with us to continue to enjoy. Under a microscope the buds looked like a glob of trichome goo.
 
When we left the party that night it was an adventure driving to find some food. A woman whipped opened a taxi door as I was passing the taxi. A quick jerk to the left on the steering wheel avoided the the taxi door being ripped off and serious injury to the woman holding on to the door.
 
It was then agreed we grab some quick and simple food (Subway subs) and get parked at the hotel before our excellent adventure turned ugly.
 
June 14 Debbie, Keith, Nick and Bill (Bongs and Such) started the day in Ron Hill's (Toronto Cannabis Cup organizer) room. Keith, Nick and Ron consumed some strong hash and enjoyed like minded conversation. The it was time to check out and head off to the Toronto Pearson Airport for our flight back to Calgary. We had the pleasure of having a comedian flight attendant on the flight home to put a prefect end to a excellent
adventure in Toronto.

The protest was a huge success! We were able to educate many hundreds of people in just a few hours. One family drove 3 hours one way to support the protest efforts. Imagine all the people we will be able to educate over the course of the next year during future protests and a web site and message forum that millions will see over the course of one year alone. We won a battle tonight folks and we will win the war in the end too. Exciting times ahead folks! Donations are already coming in too. Thank you all for the awesome support!

So called drug expert COPS OUT! Not my job, I won't talk about it type of attitude!
Afraid of the truth getting out to the public as per usual!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3e6Y8bHUUk

 

Global and CTV had broadcasts of the 420 Drug Awareness Rally. Both were not to bad. The drug squad so call expert (more of a under educated prohibitionist) used the usual its not my job it's the other guy's type cop out. They need to come up with more then just it's illegal. I don't want to discuss it type attitude. At least we kept them from using the gateway myth.

 

Even the vice principal ran away when we tried to educate him outside before the meeting started. It was sad to see he had no interest in being educated with the truth. Another one there to just collect a paycheck that could care less what is good for the student body.
