Social Justice Cannabis Museum

Boston, Massachusetts

Cannabis Museum

The Core Social Justice Cannabis Museum in Boston invites guests to engage with the insanity and inequity of American drug policy through a series of changing exhibits. For over a century, cannabis has been used as a weapon to divide people and cultures. Core aims to resist division by promoting cannabis as the inherent unifier that it is. We believe that a new generation that is unified rather than divided can reasonably consider the human relationship with substances to create coherent drug policy in America. If you’re looking for things to do in Boston, MA this Boston art museum is the best free museum in the city.

Genetics

Prohibition reshaped cannabis genetics, favoring high-THC strains while reducing biodiversity. Learn how breeders adapted, why the indica vs. sativa debate is outdated, and how today’s cultivators are restoring lost landrace varieties.

Propagation

From seed germination to cloning and tissue culture, discover the methods used to preserve cannabis cultivars. See how cultivators create genetically identical plants and why tissue culture is revolutionizing the industry.

Roots

Turn the world upside down and explore the underground network of cannabis roots. Soil scientist Dr. James White reveals how mycorrhizal fungi enhance plant communication, growth, and nutrient absorption.

Soil

Beneath our feet lies a world more complex than we ever imagined. This exhibit dives into the rhizophagy cycle, where plants “farm” microbes for survival, and examines the impact of chemical farming on cannabis cultivation.

Light

Indoor vs. outdoor—what difference does it make? Learn how growers manipulate light spectrums to influence growth, potency, and cannabinoid production, and explore the environmental impact of indoor cultivation.

Vegetative Growth

What does it take to raise a healthy cannabis plant? This exhibit explores the ideal conditions for growth, from temperature and humidity to water consumption—revealing why cannabis is one of the most water-intensive crops.

Sonification

Plants make music. Using conductivity sensors, this interactive display translates plant activity into sound, letting you hear the subtle changes in a cannabis plant’s internal processes in real time.

Flowering

The final stage before harvest—this exhibit explores trichomes, the chemical factories of cannabis. See how these tiny structures produce cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids that give cannabis its potency and aroma.

Extraction

Edibles, concentrates, vapes—how does raw cannabis become these products? Explore the science behind extraction, from solvent-based methods to full-spectrum concentrates, and learn how different techniques impact the final product.

Evolution of Vapes

Vaping has come a long way. Learn about the controversies, safety improvements, and technology behind modern cannabis vaporizers, and how they differ from traditional e-cigarettes.

The Endocannabinoid System

Did you know the human body is designed to interact with cannabis? The ECS regulates mood, pain, and memory using cannabinoids—some of which are even found in breast milk. Learn how this system works and its role in health and wellness.

Trichome Room

Step inside an immersive sensory experience where glowing trichomes pulse to music and poetry. Created in collaboration with visual artists and poets, this room invites you to experience cannabis at a microscopic level.

Harvest

Pistils, trichomes, and timing—harvest is an art. See how cultivators determine peak ripeness and why proper drying, curing (and maybe musical accompaniment) are essential for flavor, potency, and overall quality.
