In the world of cannabis, one thing both brands and consumers can look forward to each year is the Emerald Cup. Since its inception in 2004, the annual Emerald Cup has been the go-to competition to celebrate the cannabis harvest, bringing together the cannabis community that’s deeply rooted in the mountains of the Emerald Triangle in Northern California.

And for the first time, the competition finds itself in Southern California, sunny Los Angeles to be exact. 2022 proved to be the 18th Annual Emerald Cup Awards ceremony, which took place live from the legendary Ricardo Montalbán Theatre located in the heart of Hollywood. On the evening of May 14th, cannabis connoisseurs from all over the country came to celebrate the flower and all its glory — with some even deeming it the “Academy Awards of Cannabis.”

Presented by Boveda and PurePressure by Agrify, the evening was met with a star-studded red carpet, providing an elevated experience for all those in attendance. Guests in attendance enjoyed the ambiance as Emerald Cup Founder, Tim, took the stage with his daughter, Taylor Blake, with notable guest speakers awarding the winners from each category a unique trophy hand-blown by glass artist Ryan Fitt (in collaboration with Puffco).

Emerald Cup Judges, Nominees, and Hosts

So how were the nominees picked? Over the course of a month, official Emerald Cup judges sampled over 700 entries spanning over 50 different categories, in the end narrowing the picks to just 182 winners. What were they looking for? Top-tier, top-shelf cannabis. The award ceremony was live streamed worldwide by official Emerald Cup media partner ALTRD.tv.

As discussed in our last article previewing the Emerald Cup Awards, being included in the Emerald Cup almost immediately boosts your brand into the limelight. The Emerald Cup is best known for shaping the taste of the cannabis industry as a whole, with the “best in class” in each category being the highly coveted prize.

Cannabis activist and actor Woody Harrelson was also honored on stage, receiving the 2022 “Willie Nelson” (Lifetime Achievement) Award recipient. Thanks to decades of relentless advocacy on behalf of cannabis culture, veganism, and a healthy questioning of the status quo, Harrelson joins a much-respected association of past winners such as Winona LaDuke, Tommy Chong, and Valerie Corral.

A wide array of guests were in attendance, from experts to journalists to scientists and of course, cannabis lovers. Musical performances were enjoyed thanks to Andreas One, Jasmine Solana, and Lafa.

Legacy cannabis brand Fig Farms, founded in 2016 by Keith & Chloe Healy, prides themselves as breeders and cultivators growing the highest grade cannabis. Taking home the Indoor and Breeder’s Cup. Keith states:

“Thank you to the Emerald Cup judges for recognizing and validating our obsessive perfectionism in the garden – we are extremely honored to be receiving these awards. California is the epicenter of the cannabis culture universe, making a win in the Emerald Cup a worldwide achievement. Winning these awards in Hollywood amongst all of our respected friends and peers is a proud moment we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives.”
