It was the 18th annual Emerald Cup, a competition that has always sought to award the best cannabis in the state of California. The event brought together Northern California growers and Southern California culture. For being a weed-plus-Hollywood event, the fashion was tame–there was a noticeable lack of flamboyance. The mixture among the crowd of causal and formal, high and low, fashion and function was more fun than the usual LA ostentatiousness.

Since 2004, the Emerald Cup has celebrated the cannabis harvest with a friendly gathering and competition rooted in the mysterious mountains and cannabis culture of the Emerald Triangle in Northern California. This year, however, the 18th Annual Emerald Cup Awards ceremony was held live for the first time in Southern California on Saturday, May 14th at the Ricardo Montalbán Theatre, bringing cannabis aficionados from across the state to the heart of Hollywood for the celebration.
