What We Do
California has a rich and unmatched history of cannabis activism, culture and cultivation. We aim to preserve this history and educate current future generations about the role of cannabis in the evolution of the state of California.
We collect, share and honor the extraordinary diverse stories throughout our state so that Californians may utilize history to create a brighter tomorrow for everyone.
