Are you ready to embark on a mind-bending adventure into the world of cannabis?

Look no further than The House of Cannabis, or THC NYC, a cutting-edge weed museum set to open its doors in Soho on April 7th, 2023. This four-story, 25,000-square-foot space at 427 Broadway promises an immersive experience that delves into the art, science, and social justice issues surrounding cannabis. Whether you're a seasoned toker or just curious about this fascinating plant, THC NYC offers something for everyone.

**A Museum Like No Other**

The House of Cannabis is not your typical museum. It doesn't start with an orientation but instead immerses visitors in a "Disorientation Room." This trippy space sets the tone for the entire experience, featuring funhouse mirrors and green lighting.

**A Journey Through Cannabis Culture**

As you wander through the museum's various rooms and exhibits, you'll encounter a wide range of experiences:

1. **The Disorientation Room:** Begin your adventure in this room, where a video showcases cannabis culture, from legendary skaters to icons like Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart. While celebrating this culture, the film also sheds light on the social justice issues tied to cannabis prosecution.

2. **The Euphorium:** Step into a massive spinning record where you can sit or lie down while listening to music from iconic artists like The Doors and Santana. This room offers a mesmerizing light show and a hazy atmosphere, creating a merry-go-round for adults.

3. **The Forum:** Explore the social justice issues surrounding cannabis in this section, which features real stories of New Yorkers affected by disproportionate cannabis punishment, particularly within communities of color. Partnering with the Drug Policy Alliance, the museum shares five personal stories and encourages visitors to take action.

4. **The Joint:** Designed as a pop-up art gallery, The Joint showcases artists and creators at the intersection of cannabis and art. The current exhibit, "The Art of Sneakers," presents painted sneakers, oversized shoe renderings, and shoe photography.

5. **The Grow:** Witness the cultivation of cannabis in the first urban grow site in New York City. From mother plants and clones to propagation and the flowering phase, you'll gain insight into every aspect of cannabis cultivation.

6. **The Microverse:** Marvel at macro photographs of cannabis by Chris Romaine, revealing the plant's beauty through stunning and almost otherworldly images. These artworks adorn glittering silver walls, showcasing vibrant green, pink, and orange hues.

7. **The Olfactory:** Engage your sense of smell in this aromatic experience focused on terpene aromatics. Explore scents associated with emotions like lust, laughter, energy, sleep, creativity, and calm, enhanced by ambient music and colorful designs.

8. **Seed to Soul:** Rapper Curren$y contributes an original poem projected onto the floor in a cavernous space. As you step into the room, your body's image reflects on the wall, with words filling your shape.

9. **The Hypnodrome:** Finally, relax in a plush seat and watch a 10-minute video exploring the question, "Is it possible to feel high without being high?" Created by visual artist Benjamin Gordon, this immersive experience uses brainwave patterns to provide a unique perspective on the cannabis experience.
