This was a personal exercise where I created a series of high contrast graphics unified by a common theme. The theme here is, obviously, the federal legalization of marijuana. This is something that has seemed nonsensical to me for a long time, so creating this series was like scratching an itch. To be clear, I don’t like marijuana myself. Rather than sooth a tendency toward anxiety it amplifies it. But that’s me, everyone’s different, and I don’t get why any grown adult thinks they can tell another grown adult that they can’t experience this harmless plant. It boggles the mind.
