THE LIT CLUB combines the healing power of cannabis with the magic of storytelling.
We are a literary salon, creative community, and event series.
The Lit Club supports harm reduction efforts, conscious cannabis and wine brands, indie bookstores, emerging artists, and social justice organizations like Yoga Roots on Location, Pop-Hop Books and Print, The Salt Eaters Books, and The Prison Book Program. The Lit Club has been sponsored by Garden Society, Pure Beauty, Her Highness NYC, Nasha, and Gelato.

Seemingly disparate and personal experiences/loves/desires inspired me to create The Lit Club:
The time I was in this undercover art counseling program in elementary school called “The Lucky Lions Club.”
Weed as spiritual expansion and pathway to bliss
The pandemic (yikers)
How much I love good dinner and book parties, niche salons, Goddess inspired seventies style conscious raising groups, etc.
The fact that I am an ambivert and like to party girl but also like to talk deep to people who actually care
Weed is a healer, a creative tool, and a pleasure ally.
Books are empathy builders, works of art, and pleasure portals.
I brought two of my greatest loves together, books and weed, as medicine, muse, and magic.
I’d be honored if you’d be my guest.
The Lit Club kick things off with our signature event:
THE LIT CLUB SALON: A CANNABIS INSPIRED LITERARY OASIS
We’re lovers of words and weed who come together to grow and connect with conscious consumption and books by women and nonbinary authors. Our conversations are deep, fun, empathetic, and smart. And our vibes are immaculate.
Our lovely budtender sponsor for The Lit Club Salon 2024 was women-owned cannabis brand Garden Society. Our official booktender was independent LA bookstore Pop Hop Books and Print. We’re so grateful for their support of our work in the world!
The Lit Club Salon is held every last Sunday in a secret Lincoln Height living room art space from 4-6 pm.
Links to RSVP for events are only available on The Lit Club Instagram page and The Lit Club Substack.
PAST LIT CLUB EXPERIENCES:
READ & OUID: A WEED AND WORDS READING PARTY
Read & Ouid is a reading party with weed as cherry on top.
Bring your favorite book or journal (or buy one from the indie bookstore). Delight in the comfortable reading nooks provided. Enjoy the snacks and complimentary cannabis. We read for three hours and hold a loose discussion for one hour after.
The Lit Club hosted the very first Read & Ouid in an independent bookstore in Highland Park on 420 2025 which also happened to be Easter Sunday. Comfy pillows and blankets. Earplugs for the ones who wanted them. Sweet chocolate rice krispy treats by Eeesh’s Pieces. A chill, yet potent discussion. Magical connections. Let’s do it again.
FLOWER HOUR: A WRITERS’ CAFE AND COWORKING SPACE
Flower Hour is a weekly writers' café and coworking space all rolled into one. Artsy, relaxed, flexible yet regular.
Designed for cannabis-positive artists, writers, and creatives, Flower Hour offers a nurturing environment where ideas flourish, writing prompts are explored, and connections are made.
The Lit Club hosted forty sessions of Flower Hour across a 10-month, October 2023 to July 2024 run at The Artist Tree in West Hollywood. Every Wednesday from 12-4 pm. Thank you to the team at The Artist Tree and how inspiring this space was to create in on a regular basis. People from all walks of life came to Flower Hour to work, journal, write, color, daydream, network, have a self-care date, or sometimes just to get out of their usual routine—and I am thankful for every last one of you (though I must give a special “rosy” shout out to Flower Hour regulars Donita and Madison, you guys are the best.)
LEGALIZE LIT : AN ELEVATED BOOK FAIR
Legalize Lit takes the traditional book fair and gives it a delightful twist. Think the Scholastic Bookfair meeting your favorite weed party. Legalize Lit is a cannabis-infused book fair where cannabis products and weed strains are paired with banned books.
Like pairing Fight Club with a dab of a bodyhigh indica.
Or I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings with a relaxed sativa ginger tea.
The Lit Club hosted a mini Legalize Lit at WYLLOW, a WOC owned cannabis dispensary on June 22nd, 2024. We celebrated legendary Los Angeles sci-fi writer Octavia Butler. We chose three of her books and paired them with three cannabis products stocked at WYIIOW. Thank you to Lade and J.R. who came all the way from the SGV to attend (with a very excited pit bull named Kovu). Thank you to the WYIIOW customers who were receptive to learning about the connections between weed and words on a random Saturday afternoon.
PUFF PUFF : THE MAGAZINE AND INNER TEEN GIRL HEALING PORTAL
Puff Puff Magazine is a the irreverent yet tender magazine and event series dedicated to the rebellious spirit of your inner teen girl. It’s a space where literary women and non-binary writers and readers revisit the pop culture that shaped us, laugh at our awkward phases, heal our relationship to weed and words, and find space to follow our dreams.
The launch of Puff Puff Magazine was a gorgeous day, hosted at WYIIOW on August 19th, 2023. Our magazine contains the work of 2 visual and 2 literary artists. There was a beautiful reading by LA writer (and my dear friend) Tanya Shirazi-Galvez. A curated “puff puff” bar (pre-rolls plus African donuts). LA independent bookstores The Ripped Bodice and Octavia’s Bookshelf sold amazing books—all written by women or nonbinary authors. Cannabis brands Queen Mary, Cannakits, and Diahni brought their deliciousness. Our gift bags were generously sponsored by Gelato, Garden Society, and OMI Bodycare. Puff Puff magazine even won a Design Award :)
