THE LIT CLUB
where weed & words are sacred
The Lit Club began in 2021 as my alternative to the traditional book club.
I chose books I loved. All written by women. Luster. I’m Glad My Mom Died. Seven Days in June. The Secret Lives of Church Ladies. Excavation.
We gathered around these books. We wrote together, paired literature with weed (Nightbitch + Chemdawg was a particular favorite), welcomed guest authors, and had some really amazing, healing, fun, and funny conversations.
After years of gathering, I started noticing some trends with books clubs and reading culture in general: people experiencing “reading shame” about not reading “enough” or “good” books, busy people who wanted to read but couldn't find the time, phone addiction intensified by COVID isolation, and more.
So: The Lit Club is changing.
Instead of focusing solely on the Book of the Month, I'm creating a space where you have more time to read and write and weed.
Welcome to Lit Club 2.0.
The Lit Club Mission:
Make literature fun and cannabis education accessible.
Combat reading shame and the erosion of reading culture.
Reduce cannabis stigma, miseducation, and misinformation.
Create welcoming spaces where adults read what they want, write without judgment, learn about cannabis, and talk about how books inspire their real lives.
The Lit Club Dream:
Lit Club chapters in every legal weed city in the world, building a global community of readers, artists, creatives, and cannabis lovers!
The Lit Club expands into the world of wine, opening up new collaborations and possibilities.

Hannah Eko, founder:
I'm a writer, self-published author, lifelong bibliophile, and cannabis educator who started The Lit Club because I wanted a kinder, stranger, more pleasurable way to gather around literature.
I hold a Ganjier Product Specialist certification, WSET (Wine and Spirit Education Trust) Level One certification, and 44-hour Ganja Yoga certification.
But my most important qualification is that I really, really love books.
I believe literature belongs to everybody.
I believe cannabis deserves curiosity rather than stigma or evangelism.
And I believe adults deserve spaces where we're allowed to make things, learn things, talk deeply, get a little weird, and enjoy ourselves.
The Lit Club supports indie bookstores, artists, and social justice minded organizations like Yoga Roots on Location, Pop-Hop Books and Print, The Salt Eaters Books, and The Prison Book Program.
We’ve been sponsored by conscious cannabis brands like Garden Society, Pure Beauty, Her Highness NYC, POET, Nasha, and Gelato.
THE LIT CLUB SALON:
what happens at The Lit Club?
Every month, The Lit Club gathers online or in person for a guided literary experience.
The Lit Club meets for two and a half hours of reading, writing, weed, learning, and conversation.
Weed School is the short, practical exploration of cannabis, from cannabinoids and terpenes to history, harm reduction, cannabis news.
Then comes Read, Write, & Ouid, an hour+ of protected time to read your own book, write, journal, listen to an audiobook, and share if you feel called. Cannabis is welcome, never required.
We finish with What We’re Reading, where I share my Book-of-the-Month selection.
Occasionally, a guest author joins us. In the past we’ve had writers like Nettie Jones, Wendy C. Ortiz, Maria Pinto, Susan Rukeyser, Jade Song, Michelle Tea, Camille U. Adams, and Deesha Philyaw share space.
The Lit Club Salon is held every last Sunday in Los Angeles or virtually via Zoom from 4-6:30 pm PST.
