Expo in November

I thought I remembered seeing something about a cannabis expo in November in Portland or Bangor. Is there something like this going on?

Thanks jujubee

Yes, thank you, jujubee!

Still no vendor list for the event. Based on what i saw last year, i'm hesitant to go without one.

Was it your intention for the link at the bottom to actually point to the FB link, even though it appears as mmconline?

Not everyone has a FB account. I don't, and never will.

I was disappointed when the Press Herald decided to limit comments to FB account holders last week too.

To be honest Tet, No. I guess I got carried away when I copied and pasted the above from Maine Green Cross FB account this morning.

I also agree with you that when the PPH, Morning Sentinel, and The Kennebec Journal went to the new format this past Monday concerning voicing one's opinion or statement, using one's FB account to do so.

Using the URL as it is typed does work.

I agree, I hate being discriminated for my lack of interest in (no)Facebook. If one was to show up at this event, how obvious would it be they are walking into a proMMJ event?

I am lost Shark at what you are trying to state. Can you be a little bit more clearer? Sorry if I don't follow...

I don't have a Facebook account, and yet more and more web sites, companies want you to use facebook, its getting to the point if you don't have facebook then you don't count

hope that helps,

Peace

lol I think he was referring to the question about going to the event incognito. I suppose it would be obvious to anyone interested enough to take note of who comes and goes. Groucho glasses?

I have fb account for trolling. But mostly I don't do fb.

Will know your grow be there?

I assume they will be there. I will go just for that. I have a bunch of testing to do.

Have you used them before? I have been thinking about it but wasn't sure whether to take one of their package deals. It seems the most economical anyway. Do you ever do business with them through the mail or FedEx etc?
It would be great if one of the bigger grow shops in Portland could be a rep for them and handle the test pacs. If they have a resident caregiver (I know at least one that does) it shouldn't be a problem should it?

I'm seeing dozens of Grouchos filing into the place lmao

one cannot send cannabis across state lines.....KYG has a portable lab and are expecting to open a office in Maine soon.....

I have been waiting for the KYG Maine office for a while. It was supposed to be in Hallowell in June. Then Lincolnville in September.

For now I have been hitting them up when they do expos and festivals. That kinda sucks. When they have a location in Maine, I will get a membership. Or maybe sooner. $25 is a lot to pay for a single test. I would like it to be closer to $10 per test.

They have something in place to test for folks in Maine. I have a friend who gets all his gear tested there.
