This article was written by a guest author for The Plug’s Pages Magazine. Tok from Tokalotapot Seeds has previously been featured in our magazine, and we’re excited to welcome him back—this time as an official contributing writer. Known for his dedication to the cannabis community, cultivation knowledge, and culture-forward mindset, Tok brings an authentic voice rooted in experience, unity, and love for the plant.

What’s good, Plug’s Pages fam! It’s your boy Tokalotapot, hoping you’re all rolled up and enjoying those frosty “Christmas trees” this season. I’m honored and hyped to be writing my first official article here, kicking off what’s going to be a powerful journey with the cannabis community, culture, and movement we all love.

Before anything else—big gratitude to The Plug’s Pages for opening this lane. Shoutout to OG Strain for always helping spark magic behind the scenes—every time we collaborate, the energy elevates the room. And love always to CannaFae’ed—my rider, my partner, my Bonnie-and-Clyde heartbeat in this movement. Together, we’ve been putting in the work to uplift, support, and educate the community.

Old School Roots, New School Tools

In this series, we’re blending old school knowledge with new age innovation. Expect:

Community Q&A
Real grow guidance
Experience + technology
Knowledge that strengthens the culture

There’s decades of experience wrapped in this plant—and now we pair that with modern tools that make the journey smoother and more powerful. This isn’t just information—this is connection, spreading through the community like mycelium, building strength through unity.

Empire Cup: Where Cannabis Becomes Culture

Let’s talk Empire Cup—because this event deserves flowers.

Last year, I was fully immersed in the magic. The iconic Clocktower at 37 Prospect St., Amsterdam, NY 12010 was filled wall-to-wall with cannabis enthusiasts—terp-heavy air, vendors everywhere, lines out the door, and nothing but smiles, vibes, and celebration. It truly felt like an adult playground for cannabis lovers—a living ecosystem of passion, craft, and culture.

The event itself is powered by people who genuinely care about the plant and the community. Alongside the organizers and judges, I want to give a special nod to Judge John Gilboy—an awesome community grower who consistently uplifts other growers by sharing knowledge, experience, and encouragement. That kind of energy is exactly what keeps this culture healthy and growing.

And now… Empire Cup 2026

The roots are deeper.
The energy is stronger.
The community is louder.

I’m beyond grateful that OG Strain, CannaFae’ed, our cannafam, and I were blessed with judge kits this year. Much love to the man of the hour, Robert Tambasco—a true community builder. One seed, one clone, one event at a time, he’s helping grow something meaningful and lasting. That takes heart. That takes dedication. That deserves respect—and a fat celebratory joint.
