I’m an online, behind the scenes kinda guy. I’m of no use in real life event planning or management, and I’d rather type than speak. So although leading up to each M.O.M. Cup I bust my tail, during the actual weekend I’m just one more media rep. It works out well, since I can experience what judges actually experience. And attending M.O.M. Cup 2018 was an experience.
The cup faced certain challenges this year, including a desperate search for a venue after an asshole — I mean arsonist — severely damaged our original location, forcing it to close for repairs. Twelve High Chicks M.O.M. Cup 2018 sponsors were vital in securing our eventual, beautiful venue in Surrey, BC … and thereby including delicious meals on all three days for all attendees. A huge plus for hungry stoners!
Whether their products filled judging kits, they provided time and energy, or financially sponsored the event, the M.O.M. Cup was made such a success because of their generosity. For obvious reasons, many don’t have a direct sales presence but they’re online — Google is a great tool for sources for wherever in Canada you’re from.
A huge M.O.M. Cup 2018 thanks to all of our performers. Their sets were beyond fantastic, more than we could ask for! The performances set the tone each night, and kept tongues wagging the next day. Ajia picks cannabis-friendly performers for adult entertainment, comedy, speakers, and games … the M.O.M. Cup is unlike any other because of their talents.
Thank you to all our judges and entrants, and congratulations to the M.O.M. Cup 2018 winners. What a blast, and what a selection to judge! From our online judges enjoying in the comfort of their own homes to our judges on the couches in the heated toking tent (hosting the free dab bars) a lot of cannabis was sampled and found worthy. Each year, competing M.O.M.s bring their A-game (and A-strains) and it just gets better and better.
Here’s a list (and links) to all the M.O.M. Cup 2018 winners:
A warm Twelve High Chicks’ M.O.M. Cup 2018 Welcome to all of our judges, online judges, and curious readers! We are so excited to bring you the second M.O.M. Cup and have people from across Canada join us virtually and in person.
Technical difficulties have prevented us from streaming live from the venue. We’ll add video here as it becomes available.
Remember M.O.M. Cup 2017? With M.O.M. Cup 2018 just a week away, we thought it would be a great time to remind our readers of what they can look forward to!
From February 24th to 26th, 2017, the M.O.M. Cup hosted over 200 people in one haze-filled building. Between the judges’ samples, the open Canadabs dab bar, and the schedule, the three days flew by. It was a whirlwind weed weekend!
Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd;
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don’t care if I never get back.
—Take Me Out to The Ball Game, Norworth/Von Tilzer, 1908.
Do you remember eating Cracker Jack as a kid? That box of buttery caramel popcorn with a toy at the bottom was always one of my favourites. So I recreated it in this cannabis-infused caramel pot-corn recipe one rainy afternoon when I was feeling nostalgic.
Twelve High Chicks thanks guest contributor Mike on a Bike for this Lady Green review; Lady Green is a major sponsor of the Twelve High Chicks M.O.M. Cup 2018.
Sweet, complete, and wrapped up neat, the treats came quickly through the mail. It may not be “politically correct” to say so, but Lady Green made me fall in love with her lovely, lovely lady buds.
During these last few years of writing, most of it has been opinion-based or experience-based, and most definitely from a personal place. This isn’t an article about Weed Woman or Tracy Curley but a subject that has certainly impacted my life: depression and cannabis.
Last year, Canadian Therapeutic Cannabis Partners Society received an email from Health Canada to be part of the legalization round table consultations. I thought it was spam or a joke. I nearly fell out of my chair when I opened the email and realized it wasn’t.
Cannabis has been misunderstood until very recently. The past couple of decades have unfolded revolutionary evidence of the role cannabinoids play in our bodies. And while today’s society adapts to that notable presence, it gets criticized among its objectors and becomes more researched by its admirers.
It may well be the saddest day in the history of Canadian activism: July 1st, 2015 in Vancouver, BC. Cannabis Day.
For over twenty years, activists had gathered on July 1st at the Vancouver Art Gallery, in the centre of the city, to protest Canada’s participation in the U.S. driven attempt to prohibit the use of Cannabis worldwide.
For me, 2015 was my seventeenth year in a row — first as a concerned citizen/volunteer wanting to help change a very bad law, and for the last ten years as an organizer and a vendor. Cannabis Day had become a mainstream event complete with entertainment and many potent speakers during the day. But most importantly it included a vibrant farmers’ market, with over a hundred vendors selling all things cannabis in defiance of the law forbidding it. It is the law against selling cannabis that is so destructive to our society; denying access to such a wonderful life-saving medicine. That’s why we feel it’s important to openly break that law.Read More
