It really seems that the handwriting is out on the wall this year . Perrenial winners of the cup Barney's Farm didn't even bother to show up !! I heard from a good source that the owners of the seedbank were complaining about the outrageous entrance fees being charged by High Times. The tied has changed and now the winners are coming from the US via Cali Connection who are dumping a ton on advertising in the rag mag and in showing up at all there medical cups. Which proves where the real power at high times mag comes from. So much for all the mystical bull-crap that Mr. Hager preaches with his so called hippy chic that spews from him and his philosophy.
