To compliment the “Green Rush” issue this March, we have curated a digital gallery of cannabis culture inspired art from visual mediums to music. The submissions were based on a Massachusetts-based call for art. Enjoy!

Brett Mason is a Montserrat College of Art (Beverly, MA) Graduate with a repertoire of visual arts skills ranging from small collages to large murals. Brett submitted this piece depicting another beautifully whispy marijuana bud. The colors through the piece are definitely those which remind us most of the cannabis plant- green, purple, and orange!

Highpine Farms

Keith Coombd

Perhaps the greatest art of all in Cannabis Culture is the art of growing the plants themselves. With recent legalization in three New England states (VT, MA, ME) – growing your own plants for consumption has skyrocketed. Of course, it takes a bit of skill to get it right. Keith of Highpine Farms in Maine has gained the skills to grow cannabis well after recognizing the high costs in medical marijuana for his disabled sister.

“My mother and I quit our well paying jobs, went to California to learn to grow cannabis, and then we opened a grow to supply my sister the necessary medicine for her needs”

Putting some passion and love behind the science and calculations of growing a potent plant yields a beautiful work of art. Here are some of the shots Keith sent to us from Maine.
