The Flower
Posted on

The Flower contrasts a utopian society that freely farms and consumes a pleasure giving flower with a society where the same flower is illegal and its consumption is prohibited. The animation is a meditation on the social and economic costs of marijuana prohibition.

@angeloglasen sunshine can cause skin cancer, thc can help prevent or even fight most common forms of cancer…

@whattissthiss Just the same as alcohol. Red wine, for example, can prevent heart attacks and it’s healthy to relax us from stress if it is used in a proper way, this means, not in excess. The same with marijuana. It can prevent cancer methastasis, help people to sleep and many other benefits, but if it’s used in a wise way, like everything in life. Even natural and simple water in excess could kill someone…

@Harm1Harm1Harm: It’s actually not even legal in Holland. It is decriminalized and tolerated, and even that makes such a huge difference over it being illegal! Lets just hope change comes soon

@fernq11587 You are naive by thinking everyone would do the same. After all, nothing stops you from growing your own tomatoes, baking your own bread or even brewing your own beer, yet I bet you do none of these things and instead buy them from some legitimate business, generating in the process – surprise – tax revenue.

@MrJbroster yeah weed is harmless if your responsible with it and think about all the benefits it has, it’s better at helping you sleep than any sleeping pills, it relieves pain like the best painkillers you’ll find and it’s great at helping depression (again, if used responsibly.) not only these but obiouvsly being high is amazing xD

@facu2394 are you comprehending a single thing that’s going on right now? i attacked you because you are just spewing bullshit that is not true. give me a break dude, you have no idea who i am or what i am like. i am a very non-confrontational person, but when someone like you attacks something i enjoy, without reason and without truth, i am going to stand up. i have plenty of real arguments, and i get the feeling that i am a lot more knowledgeable on the subject than you, so try me.

I believe in pot. I love weed, I love the culture, I love the music, I love all of it and I smoke it all the time. And I would die just to see a society like in the first half of the video, I really would. But smoking pot is still smoking pot. It’s not without dangers, like any substance, and would have to be controlled. Unfortunately it wouldn’t be a pure Utopia but it’s a nice concept.
