As nearly every cannabis enthusiasts will passionately agree, few things accompany marijuana better than music, especially live music. The cornerstone of The Emerald Cup is the prestigious contest, but you won’t find an overly competitive nature in the air. In fact, it could be argued that the true spirit of this Cup will be experienced to its fullest around the music stages in the company of thousands of high-minded cannabis culture enthusiasts.
This year’s lineup features an eclectic mix of reggae, electronica, rock, world, folk, psychedelia, and hip-hop. Inspiring acts like Santa Barbara’s roots reggae superstars Rebelution are set to headline the first day of the event. Formed in the laid-back beach side college community of Isla Vista, Rebelution gained a great deal of momentum consistently dazzling local audiences as they fine-tuned their unique roots sound. Their second full-length album, Bright Side of Life, dominated the iTunes charts and reached the top spot in reggae and the third spot in all genres of music.
Sunday’s music offerings will close with Beats Antique, an experimental group of exceptionally talented musicians that blend world fusion and electronic music to craft an incredibly distinct sound. Releasing at least one album a year since 2007, this group of veteran performers have become known for their diverse musical offerings and their wild theatrical performances.

The Emerald Triangle Celebrates Outdoor Cultivation: The Emerald Cup
Northern California’s “Emerald Triangle,” which includes the counties of Mendocino, Humboldt and Trinity, has long been established as the epicenter of the global cannabis movement. While the area is widely appreciated as the world’s largest producer of marijuana, it is particularly respected for its incredible outdoor cultivation. The Emerald Cup is the celebration of outdoor cultivation and everything that goes with it. What started as a quiet and friendly competition between neighbors and friends has grown into California’s largest and most storied cannabis event.
Each December, California’s most prolific cannabis growers and producers congregate in Northern California to show off their prized flowers, solventless concentrates, edibles, tinctures and CBD variants. The Emerald Cup allows cannabis enthusiasts from across the globe the chance to participate in what can best be described as a complete cultural experience. Last year’s Cup attracted 15,000 attendees who came together for a positive weekend packed full of eclectic music, definitive contests, engaging workshops, quality vendors and exquisite art.
The cornerstone of the Emerald Cup is of course the contest. In 2014, the judging panel made their way through 900 entries to declare Sweet Serenade, a hybrid bred and grown from a seed in Mendocino by Joe Peinado, number one in both the Breeder’s Cup and the Emerald Cup. This year, the most knowledgeable and respected judges from around the world expect to be presented with more entries than any cannabis competition in history. Each entry will undergo a full spectrum of tests (microbiological, pesticide, residual solvent, and cannabinoids/terpenes, as applicable) by SC Labs to ensure the Cup’s stringent standards on healthy sun-grown organics are upheld.
The Emerald Cup and Weedmaps have partnered again in one of the industry’s most enjoyable and significant cannabis gatherings. Last year’s event sold out before the end of the first day; this year is sure sell out even faster. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind opportunity at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa, California, on December 12th and 13th.

The Only Marijuana Book You Need
Author Joshua Haupt embarked on his journey to innovative cultivator at the age of 15. With nothing more than a few seeds found in a baggie of schwag, he planted his hopes in the family garden and watched them grow. Once his cannabis was large enough to be a recognizable plant Haupt’s secret was out. His dad pleasantly shrugged his shoulders and said, “well we can’t kill it now” and it’s been game on around growing ever since.
After years of perfecting his craft in the mountains near Breckenridge, CO., with a great deal of help from local growers and friends along the way, Haupt began to understand and identify the key steps to achieving bigger and better yields. As Haupt was making a serious name for himself as an excellent cultivator and growing consultant, he reached a philosophical crossroad. Many people in his community urged him to guard these secrets. Still, others told him he would be foolish not to capitalize on the opportunity to share what he knows with the global cannabis community. In the end, a battle with epilepsy led Haupt to the decision to share his secrets with the world. Haupt has been seizure-free for 4 years without the use of any traditional pharmaceutical medications; he has much more success using cannabis and exercise to treat his epilepsy. He sleeps easy knowing the secrets he is sharing will lead to larger quantities of higher quality cannabis for all.
