If only there were some kind of venue that celebrated marijuana through unique immersive experiences, private events, and even an on-site dispensary. With the historic (and haunted) Marijuana Mansion, that dream became a reality. 

Also open for tours, photoshoots, and one-of-a-kind experiences, the Marijuana Mansion isn’t just your regular old mansion rotting away. Instead, it’s been preserved for generations and now features a museum, interactive art exhibit, and event space for cannabis lovers and advocates alike. 

On Grant Street, just off 13th Street in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Denver, Colorado, lies the beautiful and bold Marijuana Mansion. The eclectic space has three flours and a whopping total of 4,200 square feet. When hosting private events, the mansion has a capacity of up to 150. Also a spitting distance away from The Black Box music venue, the cannabis-friendly Marijuana Mansion has an on-site dispensary, Green Dragon Colorado, selling recreational weed and other canna goodies.

There are a variety of packages listed here inside the Marijuana Mansion. The most popular are the 30-minute and one-hour self-guided ticketed tours that give you free rein to explore the mansion‘s ten immersive rooms without a tour guide or group. Here, you‘ll learn all about the mansion‘s history, why it was a staple for Colorado’s legalization bill, its haunted past, and tons more.

Long before the space was the Marijuana Mansion, it was an eclectic sandstone house built in 1889 for the Joseph Creswell family, reads its website. In 1977, the mansion was anointed the National Register of Historic Properties. It wasn’t until Colorado began drafting bills for cannabis legalization that the mansion received its current name. Home of the Marijuana Policy Project, the Marijuana Mansion is the exact location where lawmakers wrote Amendment 64, the world’s first victorious recreational cannabis bill.

Unfortunately, the mansion does not permit guests to use cannabis on the premises during guided tours. However, it does not clarify if photoshoots or private events can consume marijuana inside the venue, nor does its website define if the mansion has a license for on-site consumption. Out of respect for the building and its historical significance, we encourage you to step outside for a toke in weed-friendly Denver.
