What is The Green Glossary

The Green Glossary is a community-built, peer-reviewed dictionary with a goal to make the language of cannabis accessible to all. We hope for everyone to be able to participate in the conversations that matter.

We aim to close the knowledge gap in the cannabis space, because we believe an informed community is one of the best tools to effectuate positive change. Every definition is a small act of advocacy helping to stand up the community and push the movement forwards.
