Here in Athens, Ohio, naturally, you’ll find the Cannabis Museum. Please take a good, long look at the Museum’s website in case you’re unfamiliar with or interested in learning more about the artistic, historic, medical, and industrial uses of cannabis…especially prior to 1937, when sadly, fear, ignorance, and greed vilified and marginalized this lucrative and self-sustaining venture. Here’s yet another similar museum in Barcelona, Spain (Catalonia), where you’ll find the photo reference I used  to paint (freehand) the vintage-looking medicine bottle using my iPad Pro, an Apple Pencil, the Sketch Club app, and a tweak or two in iColorama.

I’m intrigued by the amber-colored, old-fashioned medicine bottles; and by the way, the Cannabis Museum in Athens, Ohio has a ton of these artifacts! Here’s just a glimpse of the ever-evolving exhibits. Check it out. When you do, you’ll see first hand that this story didn’t end in 1937; far from it! There is a promising future thanks to the vision, competence, and creativity of folks of all ages and from all walks of life.
