We shouldn’t be normalizing cannabis use the same way we’ve normalized alcohol and nicotine use. Likewise, when we end the war on drugs and prohibition at large, we should not be normalizing drug use, at all. I understand the cannabis counter culture of the past has to some extent already branded certain genetics, but we should not be doing that any more than we brand heirloom tomato strains (imagine the insanity of paying $20 for f’ing tomato). We should not be trying to Nike’ize, Marlboro’ize, or Budwizer’ize cannabis. Commercializing and consumerizing any drug use, and elevating the "product" into the hyperreal, is not a thing we should be celebrating, much to the chagrin of people trying to get filthy rich off a plant that everyone should have the right to grow.
