each and then after Judging the pieces the Glass Games Master of Ceremonies Matty White starts to draw them out of a hat and the hoards of ticket holders anxiously await to pick their winner. Every one is a winner in this game cause everyone goes home with someone else's original art! The First Place winners were: Goblet - Shuhbuh Pimp Cup - Byron Keirnan D&L Art Glass Supply booth

There was one more special game that might have been more for the glass blowers entertainment than the buyers, The Game of Marbles. Yeah, that game that has been played for centuries and cannot be specifically narrowed down to a time or place in history. Romans, Egyptians, and Mesopotamians all mention or reference marbles in their history. The Game of Marbles has been found at archeological digs all over the world. This event was played with little fanfare in a small booth on the side during the show, although it did not bring huge crowds, it did bring fond childhood memories back for many of the folks that took a minute to watch. The Glassblowers love this event, the bragging rights are what it is all about in the game of marbles, that and bringing home all the marbles! In a stunning upset, Blake from Liquid Glass Art, beat returning Champion Jes Durfee in an epic final round for all the marbles! Colorado is such a fantastic show so much fun for everyone, the buyers, vendors, and artists all get to enjoy some of the best experiences all year. I look forward to seeing what they pull off for next year. 280

20 Years of CHAMPS By Malcolm MacKinnon

When you get to the show or if you’re there already... Look around, folks, take it in!

A Retrospective

This is the fifty-fifth trade show mounted by CHAMPS and the fortieth staged here in Las Vegas. Hundreds of businesses are represented in a space that encompasses 245,000 square feet, the area of four and a half football fields! The marketplace is booming and CHAMPS is proud to have backed the cannabis business community for two solid decades. No trade show is older and, certainly, no event associated with the use of cannabis can equal its rate of growth. In truth, CHAMPS is the unsung success story of our industry. Of course, being “unsung” was a conscious business decision. Twenty years ago, sherlock pipes, one-hitters, bongs, hand pipes and the like were as demonized as cannabis, courtesy of a 1994 Supreme Court decision (Posters 'N' Things, Ltd. v. United States), a ruling that still stands today. The Court rendered ceramic, metal and glass pipes—even rolling papers—all “drug paraphernalia” these items, commonly found in head shops, were deemed designed for use with illegal drugs. In other words, the pipe itself has “intent,” not the user. It didn’t matter that this illegal paraphernalia could also 52

show was undeniably small, but they were heartened by the enthusiastic response of pipe sellers, especially the community of glass artists. Back then, CHAMPS was known as the C.T.A. Show. The initials stood for “Contemporary Tobacco Accessories.” It may have been a bit disingenuous, but running a trade show that provided a business-to-business setting for paraphernalia manufacturers and head shop owners necessitated discretion. In other words, they hid in plain sight.

It was standard procedure for Jeff and Peter to decline coverage of the show by marijuana-themed publications. “You have to understand the level of paranoia at that time,” Jeff says. "We didn’t want to be a target. It’s the way the manufacturers wanted it. It’s the way head shops wanted it and the way we wanted it. Otherwise, vendors and buyers wouldn’t have come.” Peter says they can laugh now. “Back then, everyone’s booth featured signs that read ‘For Tobacco Use’ only. But we had no choice. The head shop owners posted the same signs in their shops. Everyone had to distance themselves from pot in order to do business.” Still, the trade show thrived, moving on to convention centers from hotel conference halls. Significantly, its meteoric growth coincided with the rising popularity of glass smokeware. Although Bob Snodgrass, known as the “Godfather of Glass,” had developed his techniques for glass pipe-making in the 1980s, it wasn’t until the 854

mid-‘90s that these new instruments of pleasure emerged widely on the cannabis scene. Glass smokeware was an instant sensation. They were unique and colorful, providing a singular smoking experience. Moreover, a colorful, one-of-a-kind, handcrafted pipe became a personal keepsake. Glass transformed the paraphernalia marketplace.

“We have always backed the glass community and tried to promote high-end glass, as well as the artists themselves,” Peter says. “After twenty years, we really have become a family.” In the cannabis industry, the cultivators and the consumers are the two target markets of all business. Unfortunately, since the beginning of the War on Drugs, the federal government has focused on arresting and prosecuting the two same groups. In February 2003, the Feds decided to take down the paraphernalia industry, launching Operation Pipe Dreams and Operation Headhunter. Fifty-ﬁve people were busted for engaging in interstate commerce to transport drug paraphernalia. The raids shook up everyone. Were more on the way? Attorney General John Ashcroft labeled those who manufacture paraphernalia “no better than drug dealers.” Websites advertising glass pipes were taken down instantly, and head shops cleared their shelves.

CHAMPS SHOW MAGAZINE

The raids also happened to be launched on the eve of the C.T.A Show. Nervous vendors canceled. The number of businesses scheduled to attend dropped from Continues On Page 56

180 to a mere 34. On the bright side, Jeff and Peter did open the doors and got through the show without government harassment. “We were nervous and on edge the whole time,” says Jeff. “I was worried about our clients and our show. But we stood by our people. We offered full refunds or full credits toward future shows. I remained confident that we’d continue and survive.” In order to escape further scrutiny, C.T.A. vanished. Jeff and Peter pivoted away from tobacco and smoking and renamed the show. The C.T.A. trade show became C.H.A.M.P.S, an acronym for “Contemporary Handcrafted American Made Products Show. The name highlights “America’s diversity of products and the creditable glass art industry,” Jeff says.

Women Artists

What remains funny—albeit sixteen years later—is Ashcroft’s boast about the success of the raids. He crowed: “We’ve taken decisive steps to dismantle the illegal drug paraphernalia industry.” That would be news to—well—just about everyone. Since 2003, ten states, plus Washington D.C, have legalized recreational marijuana. Thirteen states have decriminalized, but not legalized, and thirty-three have legalized medicinal use. Needless to say, businesses that serve both consumers and cultivators have multiplied exponentially. Not surprisingly, CHAMPS growth has been impressive—more booths and more attendees each show. Plus, new features have been added to the event. In 2010, CHAMPS hosted the ﬁrst Las Vegas Flameoﬀ, 856

with scores of artists squaring off in an on-site competition to create superlative glass art pipes. The Flameoff has evolved into the Glass Games with substantial cash prizes awarded in an array of categories. At this special anniversary show here in Las Vegas, CHAMPS is introducing CHAMPS Dispensary Plus, an entire division of vendor booths dedicated to meeting the demands of the burgeoning dispensary scene in states that have legalized cannabis. You’ll find banking services, insurance groups, and credit card companies among those businesses addressing the needs of commercial cannabis sellers. Las Vegas is CHAMPS’ home base, but the trade show now stages events in Denver, Orlando, and Atlantic City, with plans for shows in Michigan and New England in the near future. “When a state goes legal, we’ll be there to support it,” Jeff says confidently.

Is there a secret to CHAMPS’ success? Not really. Jeff insists: “We listen to the community. I like to think that I treat CHAMPS in the same way I treat my life and my family—with respect. We believe in what we do, we do it well and we get better with each show.” Peter puts it more simply: “The buyers power the CHAMPS Show.” It’s an obvious truth. The buyers at CHAMPS are very similar to the traders who traveled the ancient Silk Road, the merchants who transported the precious goods of artisans in faraway lands back to the civilizations who crave them. Like them, the buyers at CHAMPS have access to the very finest products of the retail cannabis industry. And they’ll travel back to their own hometowns to delight their clients with new treasures wherever they do business. Best of all, the promise of legalization is legitimizing their commerce at last. CHAMPS proudly continues to grow and flourish. As CHAMPS kicks off its third decade, Jeff, Peter and the entire CHAMPS team want to thank all of you for being a part of the family!

The Colorado Glass Games By Matty White | Photos by Dankman and Skunk

Break Down

Whaddup, Whaddup, Whaddup! Matty White here to ﬁll you in on the action from our most recent installation of CHAMPS Glass Games. It was a super fun time in Denver once again. I can’t say enough about our family in the midwest. The glassblowers came out in full force, as always, to help make the games fun for all. There were blowers from all across this great nation, all trying to get in on one of the last chances at a golden ticket to CHAMPS Masters Competition in Las Vegas at CHAMPS Trade Shows 20th Anniversary Show, and 40th CHAMPS Las Vegas Celebration in February, and a chance at winning over $30,000 in cash and prizes. The Glass Games we arranged for this show were all made at the artist home studio and brought to the show for the event. We had three games there, Goblet Grab, Pimp Cup, and the Game of Marbles, and we also judged the marbles for the Best Marble Set category.

If you haven’t been to the Colorado show and participated in the Goblet Grab and Pimp Cup Events than you are truly missing out on fantastic events! These games are the most fun we have with the buyers at any event we do. The Goblet Grab and Pimp Cup are the only events where everyone can participate in the game, Buyers, Vendors, and Artists all are welcomed to buy raﬄe tickets. Each Glassblower is given $100 for their entry, and each Raﬄe ticket costs $100 so all the proceeds go to the artists themselves. Hundreds of goblets and Pimp Cups have been sent to their forever homes since this event started. Continues On Page 82 78

Some of these $100 goblets and cups could retail for $500 to $1000 to the right collectors. I am not sure who was more excited the glass blowers that won or the people that got to take home their pieces!

As always, the Judging came down to very slim margins, and when I say slim, I mean the slimmest of slim. Both categories had more winners than we had awards! But that said, we had to narrow the ďŹ eld down to just the three winners in each category. This year we had some great Judges, including Judge Supreme Bob Snodgrass alongside his wife Marie, Hugh Salkind, and James Schick, with the ever diligent Lonnie supervising the Marble Game.

Travel Tips Dankman's

Las Vegas

By Kevin Dankman

1 3

Cannabis is legal for adult consumption in Las Vegas, but that does not mean light up at the craps table! The Nevada Gaming Commission amended their gaming laws which prohibit casinos from allowing the super stoned to place bets… So try to keep it to yourself if you plan on winning big on the tables.

Where to stay? That is the question I hear most from new attendees to CHAMPS, Stay with the rest of us at Tuscany Suites and Casino. They are very used to being invaded by our group of people: excellent service and decent food. The PUB 365 is the best spot for the money. I hope they still have the Cali Cream Ale on draft!

With the amount of free booze, they pump into you while you gamble, be careful of the ever dreaded HANGOVER! Yeah, not as exciting as the movie… they can be downright miserable. If by chance you end up out too late and wake up in one of those states of discomfort… Try www.hangoverheaven.com they have an excellent reputation and reliable services. They also have a group bus for those after-party days!

Do not under, any circumstance, drink and drive. Cab it, lyft it, or Uber it! There is no sense in risking it. Drunk driving casualties aﬀect us all, better safe than sorry

The entertainment is fantastic in Vegas, this year you can ﬁnd acts like Gwen Stafani, Smokey Robinson, The Marshall Tucker Band, and Brittney Spears all available during the week around the show.

February in Vegas is interesting it can be beautiful during the day and freezing at night. I always suggest packing a light jacket, long pants, hoodie, and of course pack fun socks… if the 41st President of the U.S. George H.W. Bush had sock game… why don't you? When it comes time to eat, of all the city’s we visit, Vegas has more fantastic food than any other city. A few of my most recent favorites are Pho Kim Long, Ping Pang Pong and White Castle. Pho Kim Long has a great atmosphere and some extremely rich broth. Ping Pang Pong serves family style for large groups, their Turtle Soup is the best I have ever had… and the only. Now I know you are thinking, how does this ﬁt in? You are right… it doesn’t. White Castle is one of the most famous burger chains in America. Often referred to as the ﬁrst fast-food hamburger joint, it’s nostalgia gets me every time, and I love sliders!

I have mentioned Cannabition once before, This new museum is pretty kick ass. Not only is it ﬁlled with fun facts and instagrammable exhibits, but It also has Bongzilla! A 24 ft Bong Custom made by Jerome Baker and Charles Lowrie.

If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the sin city, there's a ton of good trails and hiking places close. Red Rocks Canyon is beautiful as well as Ice Box Canyon Falls. If you have a little more time to go further, if just for the name of it… hit Mary Jane Falls!

The place I am looking most forward to seeing while I am in Vegas this year is the Neon Grave Yard. It is where the fabulous signs of Vegas go to rest. It is a fantastic collection of years and years of neons. The history alone is worth the trip, and trip, I mean it’s a bunch of fun lights and colors! What a trip.
