It’s back! I will be your new quizmaster, and here is how the proceedings will work:
• The quiz will run on a monthly basis. This month, I will post a number of questions, with points for correct answers, and the poster with the most points at the end of the month will be declared the winner. In case of a tie, the competition will become sudden death, with the first to gain a point winning the round.

• The questions will, naturally, all be related to cannabis. They may be about the biology of the plant, the history and culture surrounding it, the chemistry or pharmacology of cannabinoids...anything really! I will try to vary the nature of the question enough that people with different specialist areas of interest will all have a fair chance. I welcome the submission of questions via PM by other users, but bear in mind that you are somewhat hamstringing yourself as you obviously cannot answer your own question.

• The winner of the quiz each month might receive the title “Cannabis King”! Or “Cannabis Queen”, should one of our many, many female posters win... but I’m not making promises here, an admin has to sort it out and they’re busy people. Basically, consider it a potential bonus for the winner, not a guaranteed right.

• I am the quizmaster, my word is final. Please don’t bitch and whine, I’m doing this voluntarily and if it becomes more hassle than it’s worth I won’t bother. If the questions are too easy, good for you, you should easily win. If the questions are too hard, then get studying.

• I cannot commit to posting questions at specific times I’m afraid. In this sense, it’s going to be a bit of pot luck as to whether or not you’re online when a new question is posted, but I wouldn’t stress about that, after all it’s only a bit of fun.

• I am going to try to write the questions in such a way that it is difficult to answer them just by Googling keywords. This might be difficult, but I’m going to try.

• Please only attempt to answer each question once, do not post several random guesses, and please do not edit posts that contain answers as that throws the chronology out of whack.

Well, that’s the formalities out of the way...let’s commence.

The producers of Cannabis Discussion Quiz would like to acknowledge Spanoonaps as the originator of the contest.

Question 1: The number 420 is universally associated with cannabis. This association is often claimed to have originated in 1971, in California. However, there is a hidden reference to this number in the title of a cannabis-related song by a hugely popular musician that was made years earlier. What is the name of this song?
 
Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35 - Bob Dylan

Correct! For those who are a little slower, 12x35=420.

Yerg is magical like that...big thanks to him for wanting to start this back up! Another thanks to acknowledging that there are females who post in CD...although everyone still thinks I'm a dude until I state otherwise 8) Have fun with this though CDers! If I think of any really good questions that may stump our posters, I'll be sure to send them over to Yerg ;)
 
Question 2: What was the wonderfully hippie-ish name of the criminal organisation responsible for the importation of much of the hashish available in North America in the late Sixties?
 
Correct!

GurnEr JoshE: +1
TearItDown: +1

Stay tuned for the next thrilling installment.
 
too easy mang! (no but seriously, I did a research paper on orange sunshine and the brotherhood during the summer semester lol, this is probably the only one I'll get)

It's only easy if you know the answer...although I must say I'm a little disappointed that both my questions were so quickly answered, I'll have to step up my game.
 
Get cracking yerg! (sure I say this every thread lol)

Maybe i'll get to answer one. :P
 
i dont see how this is really fair tbh. IMO there should be a set time etc for questions.
ie so everyone gets a chance to answer when the question is actually posted as opposed to some people seeing it HOURS later..

its only professional :\

i mean seriously, the only way to realistically win this is to spend every minute of your week on here or whatever. fuck that man i have a life.

I have a life too sega, I'm not going to commit to being at my PC at a set time every day. I'm not professional, I am a volunteer and, as I said, it's only a bit of fun. At the moment, I'm trying to post a new question once a day, and to do so some time in the (GMT) afternoon. However, I'm anticipating Aussies/Kiwis saying that this doesn't give them a chance. I'm also not sure if there's going to be sufficient time for anyone to score 5 if there are 30 questions a month, so I might have to post more often/reduce the score limit. there are going to be kinks that need to be ironed out, so please bear with me.

But I was just joking relax man
Don't worry man, I didn't actually think you were accusing me of starting two accounts, waiting a couple years and making thousands of posts, and becoming a moderator on one account in order to initiate a quiz which I could then cheat at. I think we all can all agree on the unnecessarily elaborate nature of that scheme.

There goes every theory I ever had about you...
