at 5:30 Tom Loret artist, activist, author. “As an artist I seek to create a plateau of mind that depicts and confirms the principles of unabridged creation. To do this I paint out all the baggage of mind that develops in the painting process. When a passage of paint evokes a familiar, sentimental, or twice-seen reference I get rid of it with a loaded brush or with a sweep of the palette knife. The final canvas is the result of these encounters. I find this approach more alive than all the unending repetitions of commonplace designs, symbols, personal reflections, and insane compulsions that would otherwise keep me locked in a scrapbook of my own biography.”

The NORML Foundation launched this pro-marijuana ad campaign to create further political pressure on the federal government to recognize 1) the ever-increasing support of Americans who favor cannabis legalization, 2) the clear sea change of cannabis laws that¹s been happening at the state level since Californians voted in favor of medicinal access to cannabis in 1996, and 3) to rally cannabis consumers and anti-prohibitionists on April 20, a date on the calendar that has organically become a national day to both publicly celebrate cannabis as well as protest 70 years of prohibition.
