While the area is widely appreciated as the world\u2019s 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.

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\u2019s 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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The cornerstone of the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/theemeraldcup.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Emerald Cup<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is of course the contest.

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\u2019s stringent standards on healthy sun-grown organics are upheld.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text\/html' width='702' height='425' src='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WEI1eBUCCkw?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen='true'><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Emerald Cup and Weedmaps have partnered again in one of the industry\u2019s most enjoyable and significant cannabis gatherings.
