"Mad respect to all of you for even making it out here amid all this madness," Slightly Stoopid complimented their highly appreciative crowd last night during a headline appearance at the Melkveg in Amsterdam, as part of the HIGH TIMES 22nd Annual Cannabis Cup. "Now let's turn this entire place into one giant smokestack!"
The pothead pilgrims gathered for the Cup gladly obliged, as the best stoner party band on Earth brought their irie sounds to the world's premier marijuana and hashish competition. A night earlier, Gomez brought a decidedly more indie rock vibe to the same venue, including an ironic encore on "Get Myself Arrested," their musical critique of the UK's nonsensical pot laws. Naturally, nobody was getting arrested in Amsterdam, at least not for cannabis. Otherwise, I'd be more than a little nervous writing this "cannabis cupdate" while all around me rigorous testing takes place on the more than two dozen indica strains entered in this year's seed breeder competition.
Tonight, reggae legend Barrington Levy will rock another huge Cup party, and voting gets into full swing at the Powerzone. I've met a ton of judges this year, from all over the world, of every race, age, and belief, and each year it renews my faith that marijuana is not just a plant and a medicine, but also a culture. Not to mention a serious competition. So judges, start assessing all that weed, and get ready to help crown the top pot in the world!
