It was just a matter of time before NYC, home to about 150 museums, welcomes one dedicated to the joys of weed.
A visit brings you into a trippy, mind-bending world...25,000 square feet of space in Soho filled with fascinating facts and immersive experiences that smokers--and abstainers--all love. The museum also lays out the social justice issues that come along with cannabis prosecution, and delves into the science of all things weed.
A little intro to what's inside:
The Disorientation Room is chock-full of fun house mirrors and green lighting, plus a video showcasing cannabis culture, featuring everyone from Snoop Dogg (of course) to Martha Stewart (whaa?)
The Euphorium is a ginormous spinning record that you can sit on while listening to music.
The Forum highlights real stores of New Yorkers who describe how cannabis punishment disproportionately affects people of color.
The Joint is a rotating, pop-up art gallery, showcasing artists embedded in cannabis culture and art.
Learn the ins and outs of growing weed in The Grow.
The Microverse is a collection of close-up cannabis photos, hung on glittering silver walls..
Tickets start at $39. And, no, you can't buy any weed there (but you may leave wanting to).
