A free, self-guided GPS audio walk through the story of Czech cannabis legalization. On January 1, 2026, the Czech Republic became the first country in Central Europe to legalize adult-use cannabis — capping a 28-year movement that ran from a 1998 march through courtrooms, prosecutions and annual demonstrations. This walk has 8 stops, from the Senate and Parliament through Wenceslas Square to the National Museum, narrated by Marta. Walk it on location with GPS, or follow along from anywhere.
