Send us a textWhat happens when comics meet cannabis culture?In this episode of CashColorCannabis, Mehka King sits down with Box Brown — an award-winning illustrator and author known for using his art to unpack the history, stigma, and politics of weed. From his groundbreaking book Cannabis: The Illegalization of Weed in America and his take on 80s cartoons with The He-Man Effect, Box has mastered the art of storytelling that educates while entertaining. In this interview, we discuss how getting arrested as a teen shaped his creative path, why comics are the perfect medium for activism, how America villainized the plant, and why we always felt like hitting the toy store after watching Saturday morning cartoons. If you’re a fan of art, storytelling, or the evolution of cannabis culture, this one’s for you.Watch, learn, and laugh with us.
