Recreational cannabis use has been legal in Michigan since 2018 — but consumers know the activity is still stigmatized. They know people are still in prison on charges from before Prop 18-1. They know you can still lose your job if you fail a drug test. They know people still assume that anyone who gets stoned is a burnout. In this vibrant visual mix tape anthology, cannabis users tell us the other side of the story. They tell us that the perspective and clarity offered by cannabis far outweigh the vague, supposed risks. Whether they’re a poet seeking inspiration, a boxer recovering after a fight, or a young Muslim seeking a closer relationship to God. They tell us how herb has helped them process grief, be more creative, and engage more completely with their loved ones.
