An Outlaw Weed Smuggler Started The World's Most Prestigious Pot Contest

Tim Blake has proliferated the cannabis plant since the early 1970s. 

About twenty years ago, he left the outlaw life behind to put himself on the frontlines of the fight for legalization. Along the way, he founded the Emerald Cup, the world’s most prestigious cannabis competition. This August the Emerald Cup will celebrate its 20th anniversary with a two day event in Oakland. In advance of that auspicious occasion, Tim took us on a wild ride through his life in weed.

Listener note: This is a "two joint episode," if you're trying to toke along at home.
