evening everyone.
Here's a quick report from Hempfest.
After leaving the house for the five minute journey to get there early so i could beat the big crowds expected without having to que for ages. I drove into the arena and it was like a ghost town, now I know I was early getting there at nine but surely there should be some people there but apart from a few bleary eyed campers I was the first there.
I waited by the ticket office with a few others that arrived and by 9.15 had my ticket and was in....gates not supposed to open until 10.
So I had a wander round the outside as some were still setting up inside sat on the grass had a smoke and generally watched the world go by.
Well ten o clock comes round and there's maybe a couple of hundred people milling around the main entrance by now so off we all go inside.
Now don't get me wrong I think it's a giant leap forward for this country to even stage such an event but i was a little disappointed.
For me I think there should have been more ancillary related stalls and not just seed and bong stands which most were such as nutes lighting etc etc.
That said I met some wonderful people and had a good chat with some of the vendors, who were finding it hard at times to talk or not talk as the law states here about their product, for instance I asked one guy which of his autos would have the higher cbd content and he said I'm not allowed to tell you.....go figure a cannabis fair where their not allowed to verbally promote the product, but we got by.
Overall I was expecting a lot more people to turn up and by the time me and a friend had wandered round a few times we got a bit bored so called it a day.
Don't get me wrong I had a good day there and like I said it's a massive step for this country here's hoping for bigger things next year.
as for pics I managed to take a few but I got a bit paranoid as every time I lifted my camera it was like a i was waving a gun around...everyone turning or running for cover trying to avoid being in the pic but I got a few.
As for freebies I got the usual kind of stuff, enough papers to re-write war and peace on, a handful of grinders roaches tips stickers etc etc plus a few seeds some white widow autos from Seedsman and the same from Dinafem an afghan express and supercheese express from Positronics and I won 6 tangie fems from Attitude playing darts , so not bad all in all
