San Jose Hempcon 2012 Shows Diverse Marijuana Culture on Full Display
Over the weekend marijuana.net reported on site from the floor of the San Jose Convention Center. To no one’s surprise our community held another peaceful, fun, and educating event. Hempcon appeared to be a very successful event, largely due to the patients, guest speakers, businesses, and educational organizations who were in attendance.
We would like to take this time to briefly touch on some of those who made the event a memorable one. As always dispensaries were on hand to show off their quality medication. Papadon’s had an excellent showing and patients were thrilled to try their XJ-13. Aunt Zelda’s and Utopia Health Group provided excellent delivery services and were happy to talk about their businesses at Hempcon. Patients and dispensary workers were excited to look up the strains they saw at Hempcon in our comprehensive strain database. Singing Bird Family Farm brought their excellent honey products. Building on their best product winners from the most recent Denver, Los Angeles, and Detroit Cannabis Cup’s, Mama P’s brought their quality grinders with them to Hempcon. They’ll also be attending next week’s High Times Cannabis Cup in San Francisco as they look to win for best product again.
Those seeking information regarding the newest educational and legal developments were not disappointed by Hempcon. There were firms such as Hallinan & Hallinan, who were on hand to discuss the newest legal developments with attendees. We at marijuana.net found a very engaging audience eager to hear about some of the newest entries in our news and article section. There were also guest speakers which included a great speech from Melissa Balin.
Getting together with fellow members of the medical marijuana community is always a memorable experience. While we enjoyed Hempcon we are looking to carry that excitement over into this weekend’s 2012 High Times Medical Marijuana Cannabis Cup in San Francisco. As always, we encourage you to come down and say hello. Keep checking in as we will provide up to date info as next weekend unfolds. You can check with us immediately after the Cup is over for a detailed listing of next weeks winners.
