High Times has responded by sending a message to vendors and attendees telling them not to bring any cannabis to the cup.

"But now federal authorities have intervened directly with our host venue, the land of the Moapa Band of Paiutes. Subsequently, we've been informed that our upcoming Cannabis Cup event in Nevada ‪on March 4-5 can proceed as planned, but vendors, guests, performers and attendees are advised to comply with applicable law concerning the distribution of cannabis in any amount at the event. In order for the cannabis industry to continue to earn legitimacy and social acceptance, we understand that rules and laws need to be abided."

Lol.

Have you been? I thought it was pretty crass to have the first thing one encounters at the HTCC is a stand selling the latest issue of High Times at full cover price. They brought in a half a truck load, and left with about 80% of them when it was over. They charge you out the ass, but they won't even give you a free copy. Smh.

The Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam was a cluster fuck but it was a lot of fun. The ones here in the US just blow. Stand in line, get frisked, pay through the ass for t-shirts.

I would be there usually for under an hour. I dont like crowds. But i do like to increase my bean collection. I can usually hit all the bean vendors and get out quick.

That's the thing about the ones they did in Amsterdam. The crowd was always avoidable due to the decentralized nature of it. Here, it is crowded into a pen. A hot, sweaty, smelly pen. I never knew so many guys were still cultivating the Spin Doctors' lead singer's look. Sad.

I doubt many in Amsterdam miss it.

Beanz are federally illegal as well. They are just as likely to get busyed, and you know the undercover a will be there.

It will suck to have paid $9k-$20k for a booth and not have anything to sell or even show.

Watch out for sobriety checkpoints as well. Even a slight smell is enough probable cause for a full dea vehicle search.

Yup, so there was a DREAMER who was followed from an immigration event by ICE and arrested yesterday.

Get used to checkpoints, again..DUI, you name it..I predict tragedy as a result of new found authoritative. Unless of course you're not old enough to remember that shit from the 1980s.

Sock, she missed a deadline and filed late. The 22 year old has been living here since she was 7 years old. Hardly the kind of criminal that Trump refers to when he promised that only dangerous criminals will be deported. ICE says "criminals with ties to criminal enterprises will be deported".

Nobody is arguing that we should keep violent criminals who are here illegally in this country.

The girl was brought here by her parents and is now working and paying taxes just like we should want. What good can come of deporting a girl who knows nothing of Argentina. From a cost-benefits viewpoint, deporting a publicly educated tax paying peaceful member of the community is a loss. What good can come of this country losing her when she is about to enter the most productive years of her life?

And then, as @schuylaar points out, she was arrested after (for) speaking out. This has all the hallmarks of an act to silence legal protest. Your false representation of the facts only reinforces this.

It's kind of ironic that right wingers are content educating them and sending them "home" before they "pay it back" and contribute.

The whole idea is deranged from many directions. Most of the people here illegally have been in this country for more than ten years. As a whole, they are more law abiding than those born in the US, so from a safety point of view the basis of the policy if false. Ten years in the community, paying taxes, working jobs most US citizens won't do and the Republicans act as though this country is dragged down by their presence. Deportation as promised by Trump would cost billions -- how much will those 15,000 ICE agents cost? Not to mention that fucking wall. And for all that effort, the country would see a 5% contraction in the work force. This is the kind of action that leads to recession, not growth.

OK, so, I get it. The main driver for this is scapegoating a minority for political advantage. And an appeal to racists. It makes no sense from a practical point of view.
