The "tea pad" is part of a very rich history of cannabis (marijuana) in the African-American community in New York City and the jazz scene of the 1920's and 30's . It was a dynamic time in American history. Women of all color got the right to vote in 1920.

And, during this time the United States government launched an aggressive campaign of 

marijuana prohibition, which had catastrophic impact on black and brown communities for decades to come. Tea pads were convivial speakeasy style  spaces where people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds could 

come together free from the violence of prohibition.

Tea Pad

6 pm  - 9 pm

Hotel Revival, Baltimore City

Speaker: Delegate Cheryl Glenn (District 45, Baltimore City)

Celebrate Maryland's new medical growers & processors with Delegate Glenn. She has been a tireless advocate and leading legislator for the establishment of Maryland’s medical cannabis industry and for its recent expansion with a very sharp and clear focus on ensuring minority ownership within the industry. Maryland’s medical cannabis regulatory body, The Natalie M. LaPrade Medical Cannabis Commission, was named after the mother of Delegate Glenn. Delegate Glenn believed that if available, medical cannabis would have made her mother more comfortable 

and eased her pain in the last months of her life.  

Live jazz , libations, good eats & a convivial atmosphere are always enjoyed by all!
