Some words of thanks - ICMag 420 Cup - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Hi folks

First, let me explain what happened to me just before this year's cup:

I was arrested at 5:10pm on Friday, 16th April and spent a few days in a police jail cell, finally being released mid afternoon on Monday, 19th April. I hotfooted it to Amsterdam and made it there early evening. A couple of quick phonecalls and I was in touch with a couple of good friends who were in town.

Big thanks to mrhaze420 for his help, he co-ordinated efforts to turn my days in a hole experience into something rather more pleasurable.

So here I am, just out of jail, hardly anything to my name, not at all high and stuck in Amsterdam. Luckily, a horde of Vikings had invaded and I was invited to their boat. Wow, the day I spent on that boat with Esbe, Paddi, Browser, Zen Seeds and a few others more than made up for the days in a hole. Within 5 minutes of arriving I had three joints in hand, 'Belgian's Strongest Beer' in my hand and was basking in the warm glow of friendship and kindness the Viking boat was awash with.

So many bags of weed were placed in front of me I couldn't smoke them all, but I very fondly remember the Teheran Devil and Early Durban by Paddi The Outdoor Man, both spicy and my type of smoke. The Diesel by Karma and the Sonic Fly by Mosca were also memorable. Browser provided some very welcome delicious hashy treats and Zen Seeds made sure I got to experience not only Belgian's Strongest beer but also some other exotic Belgian beers too.

So in the space of 12 hours I went from tiny horrid jail cell to one of the finest smokeouts I have experienced, it was a truly great time for me and my deepest thanks to the Viking horde, you guys are some of the finest men I have ever met and I hope we meet again soon!

Here, in no particular order, are the people who I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart for the immense help you rendered me in transitioning from jailbird to happy stoner about town:

Esben
Paddi
Core
Browser
Zen Seeds
Mr Haze
OJD
Cheesyblues
Karma Genetics
Harry Resin
Bear
Jamieshoes
Moppel
Mila
Londinium

If Paddi would like to post the pics he took of me on the boat, please do so, I have no concerns regarding security and would love to see some memories of a great night.

I'm sure I have forgotten some people I should be thanking, apologies to those. I am no longer able to visit Amsterdam, so I am planning to host a smokeout later this year for the UK crew.

All in all, 420 2010 was the best time I have ever had at a cup and all due to the great people I met and their kindness, so let's have a virtual group hug and be glad there are a few really good-hearted people in this world!

I forgot to mention THC4SIM, he played a huge role in getting me home safe and sound, another amazingly warm-hearted gentleman!

The stoner generosity shows thru :-) Good way to take care of a down on his luck fellow, guys. Each of you should be very proud to have helped out someone in need :-)
Sounds like he was not indifferent of his treatment by you :-))

Indifferent is a sarcastic nick, I'm a pretty passionate guy really.

There is a lot more to the story to tell, but I'm shattered after arriving back in UK, I'll fill in more details over the next few days.

Glad to hear you're back home in one piece, and very proud of the community spirit we have here.

indifferent · 04-24-2010, 12:59 AM

Cheers mate, it is in the hard times you find out who the good guys really are, and I certainly learnt who the good guys really are in the last week or two as times been very hard.

Londinium · 04-24-2010, 01:20 AM

The Volcano tried to beat a few icmaggers in Mila's but we toked it out, a few had to start passing on some of the later bags, but Paddi didn't let a single one pass him by and I was nailing every one too, and Core kept on filling up new ones!

Look at the HSBC bank, how they moved all those millions of dollars for the cartels in my country. Why your country did not prosecute them is clear to us, Great Britain does not care where the money comes from, as long as it comes to Great Britain, and no British Bank will be punished for bringing in the drug money. You people did it to China in the 19th century, and now you do it with the rest of the world. .." "What is clear to this overworked law enforcement agent from a country which is truly suffering from the corrupting effects of Cartel Heroin is that the UK has absolutely no agenda to promote or support any agenda for legalisation, because it would mean a strangling of the supply of illegally-generated drug profits, but then, the UK is not alone in having no intention of lifting the yoke of prohibition!"
