S3 Ep36: Tim & Taylor Blake: The Emerald Cup - Part 1

Conversations In Cannabis

The world-renowned Emerald Cup Awards (www.theemeraldcup.com) announced earlier this month that they would pivot their highly anticipated 2022 Awards Ceremony will be moving to the historic Ricardo Montalbán Theatre (www.themontalban.com) from The Green Street Festival in Hollywood, California on Saturday, May 14, 2022. Now in its 18th year, the iconic cannabis awards show will be an invite-only, private event that will welcome all competitors, winners, judges, and the Cup’s closest community to celebrate the best of the best in cannabis.

We sat down with the father and daughter team behind the legendary Northern Californian cannabis event, The Emerald Cup, about their pivot to Southern California and what people can expect from the exclusive invite-only event in Hollywood.

All this and more in this week's Conversations in Cannabis!
