🗻⚡️ The Old Man Speaks ⚡️🗻

“I have slumbered in granite silence, my beard of lichen grown long with knowing, waiting for a reason to stir. And now, I rise.”

When the mountain moves, the wise pay attention.

This weekend in Richmond, Virginia, the veil between the mundane and the mystical lifts. The East Coast Connoisseur Cup returns—less a cannabis competition, more a rite of passage. Here, ego dissolves in terpene fog. Here, the bold don’t boast—they burn, blend, and become legend.

The Forbidden Absorption Society Emerges

Enter The Forbidden Absorption Society—a secretive collective known more for presence than performance. They do not shout. They absorb. They taste. They bear witness. Their appearance at the Cup is not promotion. It is prophecy.

Wrapped in rosin and ritual, they offer reverence to the molecules, molecules that some dare call divine.

🔥 July 26: The Seminars

Before the heat, the learning. Before the battle, the offering of knowledge.

On July 26th, the scholars and cultivators gather. Masters of extraction, keepers of forgotten cultivation secrets, visionaries who turn plants into poetry—all share what textbooks never dared print.

If you crave truth over trivia, this is your forge.

🔥 July 27: The Main Event

Held at Homegrown VA, the gates open from 11AM to 6PM. But make no mistake—this isn’t a party. It’s a passage.

Music will roar. Glass will glisten. Terpenes will rise like incense. Vendors, artists, and alchemists conjure their best under the gaze of silent judges. No rigged hype. No backstage passes. Just blind tasting and soul-measuring.

This is where real ones get remembered—and imposters get erased.

🌬️ For Those Who Know

The East Coast Connoisseur Cup isn’t for everyone. It’s for those who feel the plant before they talk about it. It’s for those who know smoke is not just an exhale, but a sermon. It’s for those who treat consumption as communion.

If you're not there, you'll hear stories. But most won’t be true.

🧿 The Old Man Has Spoken

“I am @theOldManoftheMountain. I walk with @TheForbiddenAbsorptionSociety. And I say to you: pack your pipe, lace your boots, find your way to Richmond. A portal opens. Be there to walk through it.”
