In this long read, the Cannabis Embassy revisits MONDIACULT 2025 — UNESCO’s World Conference on Cultural Policies — held in Barcelona during the Centenary of Cannabis Prohibition. We unpack the key outcomes, explore how Cannabis cultures fit within the framework of Intangible Cultural Heritage, and look at how communities worldwide are starting to document, safeguard, and reassert their living traditions.
At UNESCO’s MONDIACULT 2025 in Barcelona, grassroots cannabis communities presented the “Living Cannabis Cultures” campaign, calling for recognition of cannabis-related traditions as part of the world’s Intangible Cultural Heritage. A century after prohibition began, civil society urged UNESCO to safeguard living cannabis cultures as expressions of human diversity and cultural rights.
