Hey bill I gave you three ounces and 195 $ to enter three strains. None of my strains were tested as previosly promised. The only way I know you even received my bud was the fact that one strain placed in the contest. How do I know that my flowers were judged at all? I realize there were challenges to the event I am just curious as to what happened to my bud? Btw thanks for organising this and pulli g it off. If half of these loser trolls did 1/3 what you do then the azmmj scene would be bigger and mlre successful.

Where to even start?


First, the "police" I saw people discussing on here. There was one police officer assigned to the event by the PHX PD. The rest of what people saw was in fact the security team that was hired for the event. High Stakes Security, good guys, look em' up if you ever need affordable quality security for an event.

lol good security my ass first he looks like a wigger wannabe and he pulled out his gun to pose for a picture probabvly pointing threw someones hotel window. i can see why they were cheap there retarded you dont pull out your gun unless your gonna use it especially in a crowded area i wouldnt wanna be any where around that fuck face waiving his gun around, trying to be gangster what an idiot.

dont get me wrong I LOVE LOVE LOVE guns and shooting and i go almost everyweekend and some days in the week as well.

but there is no sense posing with your gun out like a wannabe crip nigga when your supposed to be professional security ensuring peoples safety at a crowded event, and to top it off he looks fucked up, i bet you he would get fired if his boss saw this, PLAYING WITH HIS GUN not the time or the place for that

Looked like a County Sheriff (brown pants with sheriff badge) not PHX PD officer.. Plain Cloth folks walking around were cops my friend - spotted a few!

Over looking the presence of the police it was a great event!

Did anyone else notice all the bathrooms were locked down with the handles to the doors missing!! Weird! (1st floor rooms)

Just my 2 cents!

Hey Bill, can you please kindly address a few things.

Firstly the discrepancies in results.

AZ Kush was entered as an Indica. > https://www.facebook.com/ArizonaVaporLounge/posts/545796292107126
AZ Kush was announced 1st place winner at the event, but the posted results show AZ Kush won 2nd place as a Hybrid. > https://www.facebook.com/ArizonaVaporLounge/posts/358080354312801

Secondly, the judging was not "blind," the names were known to the judges making it easy to stack and taint the results.

Also the way the judging took place was more like a race than judging. Everyone had to keep pace as each strain was made available to test. Sampling 8 strains in 20 minutes was not at all an effective way to distinguish between them while trying critique individual characteristics.

Also are you able and willing to release the test results of the last round of entries on 4/19?

Thanks for all you do!

No one saw any of this coming at all? lol
