    New York City has a new marijuana museum. It's located in Soho in a five-story building dating back to 1870 that formerly housed American Apparel. Now it's the House of Cannabis.

    After being greeted by attentive staff members, our group was ushered upstairs. Beware, there are a lot of steep steps to climb. For handicapped people, there is an elevator.

    Starting on the fourth floor ("The Culture"), the Disorientation room begins with a bright green screen. Then a two-minute montage video encapsulating "6,000 years of cannabis" is shown.

    The next room is the Euphorium. Strap on headphones and sit on a console that slowly spins as you listen to a terrific mix of High Tunes from "Beacause I Got High" to "Smoke 2 Joints."

    On a more serious note, the Forum, focuses on the ravages of the Drug War. This room was curated by the Drug Policy Alliance. We stopped by the sneaker exhibit in the Joint room before heading to the third floor, which is devoted to "The Agriculture."

    The many live plants on this floor are all CBD. However, none of them have begun to flower yet. (snipped)

  4. I’m just wondering how many heads will travel to NY just for that like there’s nothing else in town. I used to be that way about Tootsies in Nashville.
     
  5. It's fantastic to hear about the opening of the House of Cannabis Museum in New York City! Exploring the culture and history of cannabis through interactive exhibits like the Disorientation room and the Euphorium sounds like a unique and immersive experience. The blend of visuals and music must make it a memorable visit.

  6. hopefully that place is not just based on the prohibition as people are wanting to forget that and not celebrate nor acknowledge in any way really
