Remember when you thought wearing a mask was just for Halloween? Thanks, Covid. Well, even though the situation remains complicated, the GreenLit crew decided that now more than ever we need spaces to be entertained, uplifted and connected—even if that means doing it virtually, so we’re bringing it… We’re kicking things off with our inaugural event, GreenLit: The Gathering, for what promises to be a memorable mash-up of grooves, laughs and the straight dope on cannabis-related issues thanks to a lineup that includes a celestial DJ; a solo artist making waves on top platforms like LA’s KCRW; divas from a beloved drag troupe and some very smart canna-experts. Add trivia contests and the chance to win some sweet swag and you get the makings of a truly lifted Saturday (and safe way to celebrate!) over the long Thanksgiving Day weekend!

And guess what—it’s all FREE! For all this at-home goodness, we only ask that you consider making a donation to one (or both!) of two very worthy organizations: the social justice warriors at Last Prisoner Project and FairFight.com an organization working to turn the tide in the Georgia Senate races which have major national implications for Federal cannabis laws and other issues. Any amount helps. Blessings to y’all from the GreenLit Crew!

We’re here to shake things up—in a good way! And as much as we want to have fun, we stand for a few things too. So we want you to know what we’re all about, including important issues like Social Equity, Earth-friendly growing practices (Regenerative Farming) and supporting small and mid-sized businesses so everyone has a chance to thrive in this exciting space.

Culture

The Cannabis culture we know today was first shaped by communities of color in the early 20th century, especially Mexican-Americans in the Southwest and urban African-Americans. Fast forward to today and it’s been a wild ride through everything from the politically-motivated “war on drugs” to rock-n-roll renegades and now social justice warriors and innovative entrepreneurs. We’ll keep you current through music, essays, podcasts and imagery, all designed so you can explore the latest and greatest as cannabis transforms from outlaw to essential business and social staple.

Community

Especially now in the wake of locked-down life, community couldn’t be more important. We’re social beings by nature and only truly thrive when we can connect through our common interests, values and concerns. At GreenLit, we strive to play a role as part of the connective tissue that unites this amazing global community of doers, dreamers and thinkers who know how to create, heal and celebrate with Mother Nature’s medicine. As we grow and evolve, we promise a platform that is accessible and welcoming to all. There’s no velvet rope here—only a green welcome mat!

Celebration

We can never have too much celebration, right?! Especially considering the 2020 clown-car ride. But hey, we’re almost there and to nudge us all to the finish line, we created GreenLit: The Gathering, a welcoming, wondrous event infused with music, laughs and conversation with influencers doing amazing things in the big, wide world of weed. It’s all about curating uplifting experiences that include diverse voices, good vibes and cool discoveries. And this is just the beginning! There’s much more planned ahead—both virtually and all together when the time is right. So stay tuned!
