Description

Green Scenes is the first-ever travel guide to cool, ethically-operated legal cannabis destinations across the US.

Spanning 15 states and 24 cities where cannabis is legalised, this guide comprises 120 of the most interesting dispensaries, hemp-friendly spaces, and cannabis consumption-welcoming experiences and lodging in the country. Almost all are locally owned, and every single one is operated by people who care about the integrity of this plant, the positive potential of this industry, and the wellbeing of their employees.

In addition to creative businesses like Nomsternailz cannabis-friendly nail salon in Oregon, consumption-friendly sound baths by New Rituals in California, and immersive infused dinners by Arizona's Cloth and Flame, Green Scenes also features Q&As with renowned cannabis entrepreneurs and advocates who have helped make these scenes possible.

This book aims to capture the current state of legal cannabis culture in the US and highlight the people going the extra mile to build a sustainable and equitable cannabis industry.
