Museum of Weed
Entourage Effect:
Digital visualization of the endocannabinoid system (ECS), the mechanism in our bodies that interacts with the chemical compounds in weed to cause euphoric and therapeutic effects. The Entourage Effect experience offers an interactive simulation of the entourage effect in action. Guests can manipulate the selection of cannabinoids and terpenes by moving a set of blocks, then watch as particle systems are combined and projected onto a large screen in front of them.
Entrapment CRT Installation:
Networked 14 vintage CRTs to display custom edited footage delving into the Reagan years and the government-driven propaganda that led to systematic mass incarceration of minorities. Perhaps the most polarizing part of the museum, the War on Drugs rooms show the fallout from the passage of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 and the creation of the Drug Enforcement Administration in 1973 by President Richard Nixon to control and criminalize the use of cannabis. Highly stylized elements like hanging TVs play old news segments and public service announcements.
