Take a walk through marijuana history.
A rendering shows an exhibit at Weedmaps' Museum of Weed, which will open Aug. 3 at 720 N. Cahuenga Blvd. in Hollywood.
The pop-up Museum of Weed will open Aug. 3 at 720 N. Cahuenga Blvd. in Hollywood and run through Sept. 29. The 30,000-square-foot space will feature seven exhibits that trace humankind’s view of cannabis, from its pre-prohibition use to “reefer madness” and criminalization, to its counterculture embrace in the 1960s and subsequent crackdowns by presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan.
“Something like this,” he said of the Weedmaps museum, “can play some role, we think, in educating constituents.” “Telling the story of how cannabis regulation came to be,” he said, “all of themes in it — federalism, how national and state governments form their laws and regulations, the very distinct social and racial motivations that went into these laws — are concepts that tie into the country’s historical fabric.”
