Our mission is to collect, research, preserve, and share knowledge about the widespread historic, medical, and industrial values and uses of cannabis.

The Cannabis Museum’s collections include more than 12,000 objects drawn from a broad range of cultures, disciplines, and media related to cannabis culture throughout various historic eras and geographic locations.

Our museum collections include industrial hemp processing tools, ropes, twines, textiles, building materials, medicinal cannabis bottles and ephemera showing the many historic uses for medicinal cannabis, prescriptions, medical journals, pharmacy equipment, photographs, postcards, magazines, books, posters, pipes and documentation related of the history of smoking, and including some history of other psychoactive substances such as opium, cocaine, LSD, mushrooms, absinthe, and chloroform.
