Cannabis + Creativity

Screening of Elana Frankel’s short documentary on six people who use cannabis to enhance their creativity, followed by a discussion with the director and some of the people in the film. Presented in conjunction with The Travel Agency, a cannabis store.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that film, television, and music wouldn't be the same without cannabis. But is that actually true? This short documentary follows six people—a working/everyday writer, a designer, a chef, a composer, a singer, and a musician and scientist who use cannabis to enhance their creativity... and one grandmother who isn't so sure.

• Admission is free, but please book tickets. Attendees must be 21 years or older.
