Highlighting some of the newest and best strains of organically grown marijuana in North America, The Emerald Cup (a.k.a.The E-Cup), Northern California’s celebration of all things cannabis, fired up this past weekend in Santa Rosa, California. With its largest attendance ever showing up on Sunday, the E-Cup packed its two-day celebration of organically grown marijuanaat the Sonoma County Fairgrounds. Despite this year’s $250 entrance fee, meant to cover the cost of testing the many samples for pesticides, fungicides and other harmful chemicals, the sweet two-day event drew more than 21,000 visitors to the Sonoma County Fairgrounds, according to online reports. Growing leaps and bounds from last year’s crowd of 13,000, and blasting past 2013’s attendance of 7,000, the seedling for the E Cup was initially planted in Mendocino County over 12 years ago. Originally held outside, this once mud covered and saturated event was relocated to the Sonoma County Fairgrounds after 2012 – helping the event to triple its overall attendance. Well-liked among the many growers that call the “Emerald Triangle” home, the Emerald cup originally started as a local competition between cultivators in Northern California’s Mendocino, Humboldt and Trinity counties. “Cherry Limeaid” Smokes Competition at The Emerald Cup The event’s initial intention was straightforward and critical; to enlighten the cannabis community about the virtues of Sun grown, organically fed, marijuana. As such, the E-Cup is not only a contest that selects merely the best strains in their respective category, but rather a gathering of the Tribes for Northern California’s many cultivators and 420 aficionados. This year, Jackson Zenter’s “Cherry Limeaid” left the competition in a cloud of smoke. Beating out the competition from NorCal, who threw 477 strains at the E Cup judges, the wining strain earned Jackson a round-trip ticket for two to the birthplace of Bob Marley – Jamaica. According to the E-Cup organizer, he’s already confirmed next year’s date for the event the Sonoma County Fairgrounds.

Everyone’s quite aware that the cannabis market in California is larger than Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and several other states combined. No doubt it will only get much more so in the coming years after legalization. California will also be the recognized world leader in the production of high-grade medicinal cannabis. It already is to many folks, but the rest of the world will soon know it too! Sure, they’re still beating us up all over the state, but it’s their final parting shots that are being inflicted upon us. The writing’s on the wall and the time is over for the old school ways of failed law enforcement tactics.” - Tim Blake founder of The Emerald cup Man let me tell you The Last Band of the show they were right on the money, they were very trippy Just the right vibe for the emerald cannabis cup…the entire line up was great with the likes of Protoje, Rebelution, Collie Buddz,John Brows body and few more, as bad as I wanted to hear and interview Protoje, who has received millions from the Jamaican government to promote his art, I was blessed to be able to witness the craft of Beats Antique… (BEATS ANTIQUE) Growing like wildfire under the canopy of live electronica and world roots music, Beats Antique have shown zero sign of slowing their creative momentum since forming as a trio in 2007.
