Green Man Cannabis Ranch & Amphitheater is the world's first weedery. Scheduled to open its doors in Fall 2015, the weedery is a world-class marijuana cultivation center.

The venue's unique features include over two acres of greenhouse open to the public for tours, a dispensary, gift shop and restaurant with a rooftop bar. The cultural epicenter of the facility is an outdoor amphitheater designed to seat 2,500 and play host to a gamut of entertainers.
The Ranch displays a masterful combination of environmental appreciation and Green Man Cannabis’ progress in the marijuana industry, creating a truly unique experience not to be experienced or offered anywhere else on earth.

We’re committed to utilizing as many natural materials as possible to build the Green Man Ranch & Amphitheater. The goal is to create a living space that is innovative yet supports the environment as well as the community. The broad mission is to invest in ecological sustainability, share the beauty of nature - which promotes a strong prosperous society - and to inspire the local and the guest community to support and adopt an eco-friendly lifestyle. This starts with the construction site, which is currently the home of an aircraft junkyard. The construction of our facility on this location will represent a significant environmental cleanup project and demonstrates our commitment to environmental stewardship.
Goals
We're raising $4,500 in order to document our construction process, from ground clearing to completion. This is such a historic project in the legalization and liberalization of marijuana, and it is important to us that we're able to share our documentation of this journey with others for years to come. Any contribution large or small is greatly appreciated, and we have rewards to offer all contributors.

Risks and challenges
At Green Man Cannabis, we want to demystify the marijuana industry and educate the general public about this plant, its role in history, the changing industry that surrounds it, and give people the tools they need to make more informed decisions and opinions about marijuana use and policy. There is a need for this type of education, as there is still a great deal of stigma and confusion among the general public when it comes to marijuana. This is a challenge we know we face. Not everyone understands marijuana or the purpose of what we're doing, and we may encounter a number of doubters and skeptics. We appreciate everyone's right to their own opinion and view on this topic, and we continue to strive to provide the public with tools to make informed decisions and opinions.
We are very excited for Green Man Cannabis Ranch & Amphitheatre to come to fruition, but know the lack of understanding and support behind this industry at this time in history may hinder the speed at which we collect donations or the number of people who will be willing to make donations. We understand that the rate at which we collect donations may influence how quickly we are able to break ground and ask for your patience if adjustments are required. We are confident, however, if people take the time to educate themselves about marijuana and its uses/benefits, they will understand the importance of this historical project and support Green Man Cannabis’ vision We ask those of you that do understand the importance of what we're doing, and how providing the public with access to this information will help to reverse these challenges, join with us and help us to make history.
