Discover more about International Church of Cannabis

Located in Denver's Washington Park neighborhood, the International Church of Cannabis provides a unique and colorful landmark for those who practice Elevationism. Founded on April 20, 2017, in a century-old building that was once a Lutheran church, this church is a space that celebrates creativity and personal discovery through cannabis. Members of the International Church of Cannabis are known as Elevationists. They view cannabis as a sacrament that helps them deepen their connection with themselves and with others. Elevationism posits that cannabis can be a sacrament, aiding in personal and spiritual growth by elevating the mind and spirit. The church does not require conversion to Elevationism to be part of its community. Its doors are open to all those who share its fundamental principles: treat others as you would like to be treated, explore and celebrate personal creativity, and consume cannabis responsibly. The church's greatest attraction is its murals. Its three front doors have been painted to look like a trippy galaxy by Kenny Scharf, and its insides have been transformed by Spanish artist Okuda San Miguel. The church also features video games, ping pong tables, and snacks. A guided meditation light show experience, BEYOND Laser Light Experience, starts at 20 minutes past the hour every hour the church is open.
