Date: 21-Nov-15 to 21-Nov-15
Location: Meet at Hoxton Overground Station London / London / United Kingdom

The Cannabis Experience, written by Joseph Berke and Calvin Hernton and published in 1974 was the first study in the 20th century to ask over 500 cannabis users about their first -hand experiences of cannabis.

Over forty years later, the use of cannabis as a medicine is still being debated. If you are curious about recent conversations about why cannabis is not available for medicinal use, then join me at Hoxton station for a walk and talk event to discuss, debate and ruminate. The tour will end at 49 Rivington Street. You, decide which route we take.

This event is an experiment in writing a collective literature review which engages with the notion of how knowledge is acquired and privileged. You are encouraged to bring information and illustrations from different sources and we will collate an annotated bibliography about the event.

The Anti-University was a movement in the late 1960s based in Rivington Street, Shoreditch. It included iconic figures such as C.L.R James, Stokely Carmichael, R.D. Laing and Stuart Hall who wanted to break the structures forced by institutions such as schools, universities and hospitals.

The Anti University wanted to allow people to meet each other without having to act out socially prescribed roles, believing that this would expose the terrible reality of modern life, in which nobody really knew anyone, and spark a revolution.
