Aspen, CO, April 14, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Aspen's Cannabis Crown Almost Sold Out
Twice as Big as Planned!
What was planned as small competition, hoping to draw up to fifteen
hundred people has sold almost three thousand tickets. Reservations
continue to pour in for the two day event that begins here on April
17th. Originally planned as a medical marijuana seminar and area
growers competition, The Cannabis Crown has taken on a life of its
own. Visitors from all over the country will gather here to see the
judging, attend the seminars on medical marijuana, learn the history,
and be entertained. Even the city is getting into the spirit with a
BarBeQue and music in the town square followed by a Treasure Hunt.
With full legalization of marijuana on the next ballot in California,
there is tremendous interest in what many are calling the next great
economic opportunity. Seminars for medical, legal, patient care and
business opportunities, given by the top experts will dominate the
two day event. Visitors will see all the latest products and services
on display by our vendors. Not enough you say...there's more. There
will be bands, comedians, celebrity speakers and a sneak preview of a
major new movie. Oh..and a hundred and forty growers competing for the Crown.
Visitors will get to meet High Times Editor Rick Cusak, speakers from
NORML, cannabis oriented health care providers, educators and
lawyers.They can mix with the celebrities. Bruce Perlowin, featured
on CNBC's Marijuana Inc, will be here to talk about the commercial
opportunities offered by his company, Medical Marijuana Inc. Former
pot smuggler and famous TV Pitchman, Robert Platshorn, dubbed by the
government the Black Tuna, will tell tales of the wild days of the
South Florida smuggling trade and his thirty years in prison as what
High Times magazine calls "America's longest serving prisoner for a
non-violent marijuana offense".
In addition to his story telling, the Tuna will sign copies of his
highly acclaimed memoir, "Black Tuna Diaries". As a special treat,
Bobby is bringing a sneak preview of the new feature film "Square
Grouper". An opus to the heyday of the pot smugglers, produced by
rakontur, the folks who made "Cocaine Cowboys", one of the most
popular documentaries of all time, . Much of the new film is based on
Platshorn's book. Visitors to The Crown will be the first to get a
peak at Square Grouper, which will not be released until the fall.
So much to see and do, that the event had to be spread across two of
Aspens finest hotels, the Gant, and the Sky. Some tickets are still
available at www.canabiscrown.com. Come early and stay late to find
out who is the winner of this year's Cannabis Crown.
