HIGH TIMES World Cannabis Cup in Negril, Jamaica from November 12-15, 2015.

i for one am thinking about booking a vacation to Negril for this. my guess is that there will be some haters but one has to agree that it will fill up a few hotel rooms. any ideas on where it will take place?

rob feel free to delete

Had I known about this when I booked my upcoming trip, I might have waited a bit to be there for this. I tend to split my vacation budget between Amsterdam and Negril, and the truth is I prefer Amsterdam but can't afford to go as often as I can afford to go to Negril.

Yes, one of the reasons I go to Negril is so I can partake in subs in relative peace. It would be nice if through the changes in the laws and events like this, that one day you will be able to purchase ganja just as you would a red stripe. I imagine the overall quality of the ganja will go up, and those selling garbage will be run out of business. We would even be able to talk openly here about who has the best stuff, great deals, etc!

Just got back from the Cannabis Cup in Denver to see this.....and although cool, it breaks my heart. Not because I have any sort of issue with it, but because its happening ONE WEEK after I come home from Jamaica. Extending my stay or changing dates isn't an option, as I've already scheduled the max Negril time we cold possible afford this go-round! However, if its a success, I look forward to attending it future. The two Cups I've attended (2014,2015) in Denver both were awesome experiences, and I can only imagine something similar in Jamaica!!

I wish it were a month or so later.

Any news where ya think this will be held? Usually it involves like a convention center or something right? I just can't imagine where they will hold the event.....

I was thinking the same thing. They could hold it outside like at MX3?

We were planning a trip for October. Glad we didn't book because this may change things. I always wanted to go to a HT CC.

Yeah, wondering about logistics too. Not sure how it works in Denver, but in the original Amsterdam cup, each retailer would have one or two entries; judges bought them at each shop at a discounted price and submitted their ballots at a central location. The awarding of prizes also took place at one central location, but the purchase and sampling took place at coffeeshops around the city.

In the absence of proper retail establishments in Negril, wondering how this will work. Another attraction of the Amsterdam cup is the potential to sample goods from around the world (Lebanon, Morocco, Nepal, Thailand and yes Jamaica).

High Times is billing the Negril event as a "World cup" so I'd imagine the same variety will be available - just curious as to how that will work, logistically speaking...

Im with you MOJOMATIC. How does the contestants get the product to Jamaica with out issues? Private Jet perhaps!! We should ask El PresiDante!! HAHA

Good question, and I'm guessing it'll be answered in time. On a past trip to Negril, a Russian mega-yacht was anchored offshore and sent a smaller boat in and out with people, and presumably light cargo.

Another importation idea might involve bringing in samples under diplomatic protection, perhaps from the Netherlands or an African nation on friendly terms with the Jamaican government.

I'm sure there are many channels on to the island and lots of hardworking people dedicated to putting on a good Cup, so we'll see how this plays out!

im starting to think that this cannabis cup isnt going to happen. has anyone heard anything at all?

They had the cannabis cup on the weekend of March 8th of 2015 I was in Negril when it was going on, I don't think they would have 2 in the same year so where did you hear about the dates in Nov. of the same year? It was held at Cayanne Beach Park, although I went during the day and didn't have to pay to get in there where only a few vendors there not worth the $20 admission.

Correct! There are now multiple "Official" High Times Cannabis Cups each year, and the ganja festival held earlier was a "local" event, not really a "High Times Cannabis Cup". I've attended the one in Denver the last two years, and had amazing times both trips :) :cool:

Looks like we'll be coming back to Negril in November, originally planned for the first week but now might try to change that for this. With it being only 4 months away, there's very little information available that I can find, other than the "coming soon" page at High Times. Does anyone have any actual info about this? Any details anywhere?
