Between the staff and contributors, we\u2019ve assembled another solid survival guide to get you through 2019\u2019s outdoor marijuana world championship! <\/p>\n<h4>Hydrate <\/h4>\n<p>First and foremost, regardless of the<br \/>\nforecast, you need to drink lots of water. Smoking a marathon amount of joints<br \/>\nis never easy on the throat, do yourself a favor and keep some water with you<br \/>\nready to go. There will be places to fill up water bottles also, so consider<br \/>\nbringing an empty one into the event. <\/p>\n<h4>Be Ready for Rain<\/h4>\n<p>Make no mistake about it, it can really pour in wine country during December. We recommend being fully prepared when it comes to footwear, raincoats and umbrellas. In the event you need them having them ready could very well save the weekend. Sure a little water never stopped anyone from smoking a mountain of pot but it could certainly make it less enjoyable. <\/p>\n<h4>Health Supplements\u00a0 <\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"\/?s=emerald+cup\">Emerald Cup<\/a> is in the heart of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/flu\/season\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">flu season<\/a> and people are passing joints, blunts, and glass everywhere in 4D rotations that take some time to wrap your head around. This is a great reason to chug some airborne on Friday to get warmed up and then through the weekend. Some people even recommend ginger, cayenne, lemon and turmeric before the cup to block all the extra nasty wook bugs from getting attached to you. <\/p>\n<h4>Prevent Wook Flu<\/h4>\n<p>One of the dopest things to prevent wook flu is the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/mooselabs.us\/\" target=\"_blank\">mouthpiece<\/a>. While they may look questionable, they are certainly the bees\u2019 knees when it comes to not sharing other people\u2019s various medical conditions. They\u2019re cheap too, so definitely worth the investment. <\/p>\n<h4>Get Tickets Before <\/h4>\n<p>Lines are going to be a bit of a theme when you\u2019re trying to look at the dopest stuff at the cup. One favor you can do for yourself is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/the-emerald-cup-2019-tickets-68490455797\">to get your tickets<\/a> ahead of time to avoid one more at the box office. Head over to EmeraldCup.com and don\u2019t buy third party. <\/p>\n<h4>The Best Seeds Go Early<\/h4>\n<p>The musical acts are cool and all, but the cannabis genetics of the Emerald Cup are the absolute star of the show. If you\u2019re looking to get your hands on the rarest and most sought after seeds on the planet you\u2019ll need to get their early. Do you think <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/capulator\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Capulator\u2019s<\/a> special drop of Miracle Alien Cookies seeds is just going to wait for you while you stop at Burger King in Rohnert Park? You\u2019re tripping!<\/p>\n<h4>Extra Rolling Supplies<strong> <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Extra papers are obviously a must, and how<br \/>\nmany times in life have you lost a lighter. What a horrible place the Emerald<br \/>\nCup is to relive one of those dark moments in your life as an unprepared<br \/>\ncannabis smoker. Personally I\u2019m packing five packs of backwoods, then figuring<br \/>\nout how many I need for Sunday. <\/p>\n<h4>Keep the Good Vibes Going<\/h4>\n<p>Sure it might rain a bit, and there might be moments that you feel like weed cattle, but don\u2019t stress! Like you, everyone is there to have a good time. Let\u2019s all enjoy the offerings of what these amazing California farmers have done this harvest, and have a great time while we celebrate another year of accomplishments in the hills of the Emerald Triangle. <\/p>\n<h4><strong>Come to the Meet &amp; Greet<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>I\u2019m trying to give all the farmers who don\u2019t<br \/>\nhave a booth at the cup the opportunity to show me their pot so it can be in<br \/>\ncontention for my weekend highlights list where I cover all the dopest genetics<br \/>\nthat I\u2019ll see in Santa Rosa. It\u2019s going down at 1 p.m. on Saturday at the<br \/>\nEquilibrium Genetics booth!<\/p>\n<p>Here are some booth picks I will not be<br \/>\nmissing.<\/p>\n<h4>Cookies<\/h4>\n<p>Fresh off opening their new Oakland location, Cookies<br \/>\nwill be going huge for the Emerald Cup. Be sure to go to the Cookie Dome, yes<br \/>\nthat\u2019s a thing this year, and check out the full spread\u00a0of genetics.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Alien Labs<\/h4>\n<p>If you want to see all the best pot at the Emerald<br \/>\nCup, you\u2019ll have to stop by the Alien Labs booth. It won\u2019t be a celebration of<br \/>\nfull sun outdoor, but there will be plenty of that at other booths and their<br \/>\npot is awesome.<\/p>\n<h4>The Area 101 Lounge\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>The Area 101 Lounge is a celebration of the Emerald Cup\u2019s history as the premier outdoor cannabis contest on the planet. Named for the cup\u2019s birthplace in Mendocino, you can be sure the lounge will be a revolving door of some of the best cannabis minds on the planet all weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Royal Key Organics\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>Looking to get your hands on the real wook gold boss<br \/>\nsauce? I don\u2019t blame you! You should immediately head over to the Royal Key<br \/>\nOrganics booth when you arrive. After the craziest seed packs, their sauce will<br \/>\nlikely be one of the most coveted things at the cup.<\/p>\n<p>See you at the cup!<\/p>\n<p><strong>TELL US,<\/strong>\u00a0what\u2019s your favorite strain from the 2019<br \/>\noutdoor harvest?<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/jimi-devines-emerald-cup-survival-guide\/\">Jimi Devine\u2019s Emerald Cup Survival Guide<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\">Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nRead More: <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/jimi-devines-emerald-cup-survival-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jimi Devine\u2019s Emerald Cup Survival Guide<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We here at Cannabis Now absolutely love the Emerald Cup and go as hard as possible in our attempt to tell the stories of the people, and strains, that steal the show every year at Sonoma County Fairgrounds.
