The greatest cannabis competition in the world makes its long-awaited move to Los Angeles in hopes of connecting The Emerald Triangles legacy farmers with the biggest cannabis market in the world. In addition to picking this year’s best pot, The Emerald Cup will be awarding Woody Harrelson its lifetime achievement award that was renamed in honor of Willie Nelson. You can expect plenty of surprise guests, too. You’ll be able to catch the Awards Show when it airs next month on Altar’d TV.
Rage with Jimi on Friday!
While my adventure in town this weekend will focus on The Emerald Cup and Green Street Festival, I’m also hosting office hours on Friday at Masonic’s on Fairfax from noon to 2 p.m. If you’ve been wanting to get your pot in L.A. Weekly, this will be a great chance to show it off. 
And then later Friday evening, I’m hosting Solventless Against The System. It’s a prison reform fundraiser. We’ll be smoking a lot of hash, and then donating all the ticket money and leftover production funds to the good folks at Families Against Mandatory Minimums, who aren’t officially involved with the party but said they could take the cash!
