The Cannabis Literary Showcase is a library dedicated to elevating cannabis literature and amplifying the voices of remarkable writers shaping the industry in 2024!

 

The Cannabis Literary Showcase was inspired by the profound legacy of print media in the cannabis legalization movement!

 

Print has always been an ally to the cannabis community. In the '60s and '70s, while mainstream television largely misrepresented and stigmatized cannabis, independent publications emerged. Printed on cheap paper and distributed through unconventional channels, they bypassed censorship to reach their countercultural audience.

 

The underground press fueled the legalization movement as hubs for creativity and dissent, championing social change, cannabis acceptance, and decriminalization through articles, poetry, and art while widely disseminating information about cultivation, medicinal properties, and cannabis culture.

 

Sixty years later, social media platforms continue the same prohibition-era censorship by digitally suppressing cannabis content from reaching its audience. Algorithms designed to flag any mention of the plant or its imagery restrict writers and creators, limiting our ability to share knowledge, stories, and experiences.
