“I would write a song a day for three weeks and see if I got anything out of it. Well they were all horrible songs except for one and that song I wrote high on weed. And it’s a very good song and I don’t know if I could have written it otherwise.”
Local musician Rick Berlin @rickberlin shares his experience of songwriting after consuming cannabis.

Here’s a sneak peek at the illicit grow exhibit which will pay homage to the underground cannabis industry.
The structure will be complete with false Mary Jane plants and an array of vintage cultivation equipment that prohibition growers will be sure to recognize.

According to the Uniform Crime Report from the FBI, more people were arrested for cannabis in 2019 than for all violent crimes put together.
Are you surprised by this statistic?
