Overview

The History of Weed chronicles the planet’s most celebrated and demonized plant.

From the hashish hotboxes of antiquity to that time Willie Nelson smoked a joint on the roof of the White House, prepare to experience 10,000 years of cannabis history in this highly-entertaining live multimedia show.

Whether you're new to cannabis or a true OG, you'll get high on history while hearing incredible stories about the plant's impact on culture, politics, botany, chemistry, crime, religion, literature, medicine, sports, music, and more, including the inside dope on New York City weed legends from the jazz age to the legalization era.

“The History of Weed dives wholeheartedly into cannabis history in ways that challenge contemporary stoner archetypes while revealing fascinating new layers that are highly informative and entertaining.” — Willamette Weekly review
