Cannibus convention

[PHUNKJUNKEE]

KR's right - can easily bring kids. It's about as naughty as any auto show (girls in short shorts walking around modeling products, etc..). There's a ton of dispensaries all vying for people to sign over their caregiver rights. There are some pretty cool vaporizers that I had never seen before. Some funny merchandise, especially t-shirts. Ton of related business-to-business (security systems, credit card processing, etc) - if you're in the biz, good place to network. The overall event was bigger than I thought it was going to be. By the time I got to the end, my knee was killing me! Cussing I didn't bring any tincture to medicate on the way home. Recommend taking the lightrail down. Made it a lot easier getting in & out of there. Friday afternoon & evening was busy, but have a feeling Saturday is going to be crazy! I can only imagine how huge the next one is going to be!

KR - Very nice meeting you & your co-workers. Thanks again! We'll get together soon!

Cool. Thanks for the good description of what's going on and what to expect. Were any of the glass vendors offering up sweet deals and did you walk out with lots of free schwag ? (Not schwag weed).. hehe. I figured I might check it out if I could pick up a sweet glass piece for cheap. But with 420 being around the corner lots of deals will be available. Releaf Center you offering that deal to Members as well? Wouldn't mind meeting B-Real ans Sendog but I'm a little late on that probably. Thanks :rastasmoke:

just got back and did not care to stay for the music...
was not bad although I was big time disappointed in the grow session as they where way to technical for the average lay person...all I wanted to know was how can I grow a couple of plants and what type of container's to use and how big of a light bulb to buy but could not get these questions answered but they where giving away a ton of door prizes including water pipes and a lot of neat stuff so that in itself made it worth it.
I would imagine that next years convention will be bigger and the second year should be even better.
on a good side note they had silver surfer vaporizor's for sale for 2 bills so I had to pick one up and by golly it works great.

Cool, I forgot there was music. Actually doesn't sound too bad. I need a new bubbler... too bad admission is not free or a little cheaper. Sounds like the grow info could've been interesting.
As far as your grow questions you can get a lot of them answered on the Growing section of this forum. There's some good FAQs to get you going also.

Found an Incredibowl for $100, which is insane. I'm sure a few other people ran to the ATM to take advantage of that deal. Shit, you can buy one and sell it on CraigsList unused for $160 easily ha.

But yeah, pretty fun event overall, nice vibe and it was interesting seeing some of the smoking device demos. Scott Durrah's cooking demo was cool too, and the jerk chicken pasta was damn tasty.

Denverbear, I'm no grow pro, but I'd be happy to give you some general advice.. feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] and I'll see if I can help you out.

DAMN, what a deal! I want one of those things. Give us a smoke report once you hit it man.

[MMJinColorado]

I already reviewed mine. This one was for my Mom heh.

But yeah, ridiculous deal... they're normally $200 and good deals are $180 w/tax. I lucked out on mine at $120, but this one was $120 including a cool hand-blown slide that makes it much easier to light (which was one of the main knocks on it). I knew it was a matter of time before glassblowers started making accessories, which is cool.

Nice review MMJ. I'll have to get me one. I clean my pipe out between bowls and never go more than 2 or 3 without using the alcohol and pipe cleaners, so the cleaning issues wouldn't bother me. I DO insist on using hemp wick though, so I wonder if this will make it a no go?

Again, thank you for the review :thumbsup:

[MMJinColorado]

Yeah if you have average to big hands and can pull the carb with one hand, the wicks aren't really an issue. But it's just kinda awkward... no more than a bong though really, anything 2-handed is a bit awkward with the hemp wicks. If you nail the bowl with alcohol or whatever, that should keep it decent... the little interior screen will definitely goo up, but you can clean that one every 5 or so times and it'll be like new.

It's my most-used piece by far.

I got my incredibowl at the last Cannabis convention, I think it was in December. Not as big as the recent convention but $100 for an incredibowl is great.

I really love mine. Big solid hits of heavy smoke just what I like. Can taste and smell the difference in each strain. A few things I have found:

The bottom screen seldom needs to be replaced. I just place it into hot water to get the resin off it. Adding a screen to the actual bowl in necessary. It really prevents things from getting clogged.

The one thing I hate is that alot of your weed gets trapped between the bowl and the metal side that holds it. I try to clean it out during filling with a stoker but every few days I take out the bowl and retrieve the weed that is unsmoked but trapped. Its interesting you never know what that bowl will taste like.:rastasmoke:

$100 is a decent deal for this, you can spend that much easily on any pipe. My daughter in law got a cute glass pipe shaped like an elephant. So cute and only $20.

I think there needs to be a Colorado Growers Expo.

The Convention was sorely lacking in grow shops and grow supplies. It seemed to focus on dispensaries and paraphernalia.

Also, a big thumbs down to all the dispensaries who posted on CraigsList that Cypress Hill was "headlining" the event. Those ads seem to purposely mislead people into thinking they would actually perform.

we got there and didn't get 20 feet in the door before the Farmacy was trying to get us to sign them up as caregivers. LAME.

we went Saturday. It was my hope that perhaps some nutrient companies would be there, at least you would think Advanced Nutrients and maybe Canna, no? There was a guy with indoor growing cabinets, and an auto-trimmer company, but that was pretty much it. It seems like the convention really missed the mark in the area of growing... seems so basic. I was pretty disappointed about that.

I know I'm an old fuck, but damn, the music was so loud it was hard to talk to anyone. We left because it seemed like Cyprus Hill would be coming on soon, they were signing the new album, etc. But they never played?
