“Because cannabis is becoming legal in many places, it’s losing this countercultural history. I want to recognize people’s activity in this realm. The most visually stunning representation of this movement comes from artist Steve Marcus, who starting in the 1990s designed colorful posters for High Times magazine and the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.”
