Caregiver's Cup?

[donniedorko]

There was a write up I think on westword's blog about a Caregiver's Cup event this weekend. It said patients would be voting/judging, but then also said there would be no medicating. Anyone know what this thing is like, and if it's worth going to?

Haven't heard about it, but what the hell is the point of having a cup where everyone cant toke down?

To me the no on-premises rule is a big problem out here. Dispensaries could get so much more business if you could make it into a destination instead of just a store for reefer. Hang out, chill, be social. Meet new people.

That's why the cali scene is awesome. Besides the fact they get WAY better herb.

I think the cg cup is associated with Tim Tipton, a known crook.

I can't post the link, but it comes up #1 on this google search for "Tim Tipton MMJ":

I spent 3 months in Cali this summer and sampled shit all over LA. Most of it was warehouse commersh. The LA peeps I met didn't know shit about herb and loved their half-dank commersh. I'm sick of hearing this bullshit about Cali weed. There's good growers everywhere.
It's pretty much all about who you know anyway because the best shit ain't in dispensaries in either state! ;)

Anything with Tim Tipton's name on it is trash and doesn't deserve the press it attempts to purchase.

I've never met the guy, only been a patient for a year, and everyone with any credibility in this industry puts TimTipton on the same level as satan, romer, and that bitch on the denver city council.

Just sayin'.

Timmy T is a complete jerk, rip-off artist, and crook. The Cup is run by him and I've never wished harm to anyone in the MMJ realm before but I sincerely hope it gets shut-down. He has screwed so many people over. I almost got screwed over myself but luckily my spidey senses (that's spider man not mite senses - Ha!) warned me. There is a thread on another forum that goes more into detail, but we could start one here too. Hopefully he'll take his grifting @ss somewhere else or get out of the MMJ biz or get what's coming to him.

avoid tim tipton like the plauge. He works with north metro drug task force to take people down.

Couldn't help but laugh...

[copobo]

he's getting his own thread in every forum out there.

LOL

that's another good thing about it being mostly legal - the scum can rise to the surface in public

This really is one of the best parts about legal marijuana. It's so much more difficult for the asshats to hide in the shadows. Call 'em out, shut 'em down.

Wow, guess I won't be going to this event. Thanks for the responses.
