On this episode of Let’s Be Blunt with Montel, Montel talks with Tim Blake, a true pioneer in the cannabis world. Tim is the founder of The Emerald Cup, the most respected outdoor cannabis competition and cultural festival in the world, often referred to as “The Academy Awards of Cannabis.”
With over 40 years of experience in the cannabis space, Tim shares his early beginnings in the industry, his passion for sustainable farming and small-scale growers, and how he turned a small Mendocino County gathering into a global cultural movement.
The Emerald Cup is more than a competition; it’s a platform that champions sun-grown cannabis, regenerative agriculture, and the artistry of cannabis cultivators.
Tim and Montel also discuss key industry challenges, the importance of terpene profiles in cannabis evaluation, and the future of cannabis policy and culture. Whether you’re a connoisseur, advocate, or just curious about the cannabis world, you won’t want to miss this in-depth conversation with one of the industry’s most influential figures.
Tune in now to hear Tim’s inspiring story and his vision for the future of cannabis!
