"It is then that the hallucinations begin; external objects take on wholly and successively most strange appearances; they are deformed and transformed." Charles Baudelaire.

Throughout history, artists have created inspired works on cannabis. In High Art, the cannabis plant also becomes the subject, both my model and my muse, the prettiest of flowers. Some of which have been legally prescribed. 

I like to believe that high art, the fine art of fine weed, can play its part in destigmatizing medicinal, and recreational, cannabis.
