Can I be Devil's Advocate...and ask...what on earth would make a cannabis company Set up..organise..and Sponsor a Cannabis Cup competition if their own crosses weren't included....?......what would they have to gain..

It's a bit like getting Coca-Cola to set up a soft drinks competition that they can't enter and Pepsi will win.... ..just doesn't make sense.

Why would a breeder set up the cup, then compete in their own game with their own rules? That is the better question.

That would be like AFN hosting a competition of having the best forum, then we go and win half the categories.

Transparency goes a long ways when it comes to credibility!

The way around this is to have your own cup… that is to say, AFN (for example) hosts a cup….you set the rules etc. Then the breeders aren’t involved at the planning level.

No company is going to spend money on a competition that involves their very product, and not allow their products to enter…. And suggesting they should doesn’t really make any sense.

That seems like the really LONG way around that still doesn't address the pink elephant in the room, as we would be in the same boat of looking for investors. If we host a cup event for breeders, would we let Dutch Passion or Mephisto fund the event (as an example,) then compete in it?

You seem to be missing the point. Is it ethical for companies to financially support an event that they are allowed to compete in, and does that create unfair bias if that information is not publicly disclosed?

9 out of 10 dentists agree that's there's nothing ethical about advertising

You really expect them to fund an event they can’t compete in?
