The Cannabis Literacy Project is an educational nonprofit initiative dedicated to improving public understanding of cannabis through educational resources, community outreach, public awareness campaigns, events, and partnerships.
Our mission is to help consumers, patients, industry professionals, and communities make informed decisions through access to reliable cannabis education.
Cannabis legalization has expanded rapidly, but education has often lagged behind. Many consumers struggle to find reliable information, while industry workers are frequently expected to answer complex questions without standardized educational support.
The Cannabis Literacy Project was created to help close that knowledge gap and raise the overall level of cannabis literacy — for consumers, patients, industry professionals, and communities alike.
📖 Read Our Full Story →No. Our purpose is education, not promotion. We believe individuals should have access to accurate information so they can make informed decisions for themselves.
The Cannabis Literacy Project takes no position on whether cannabis use is appropriate for any given individual. That is a personal decision — we just want people to be well-informed when they make it.
Our educational materials are designed for anyone who wants to better understand cannabis — including:
Many resources will be freely available to the public as part of our mission to increase access to cannabis education. Making education accessible — regardless of cost, background, or location — is a core organizational value.
