The Flower

The Flower

In this short animated parable, “The Flower,” award winning artist Haik Hoisington contrasts a legal marijuana economy with an illegal one, to show how everyone stands to benefit from ending the war on weed.

“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.

Quote:

How absurd is a law that seeks to classify a plant as a crime, as if there were something feloniously wrong with nature?

- Justice Jim Staples, Sydney 1980
