HISTORY DOESN’T HAVE TO REPEAT ITSELF

 

The marihuana tax act of 1937 launched the prohibition of cannabis in the United States. The motivation behind the 1937 act was an outrageous combination of racist ideology, fraudulent science and self-serving economic interests perpetuated by Harry J. Anslinger, America’s first “drug czar.”

 

Today, 1937 cannabis products aim to deliver an experience created by a diverse group of scientific and community minded individuals who are committed to working together to heal the wounds of prohibition.

Design Process

We went through a few approaches for 1937. Some that were graffiti inspired and some that were inspired more by designs from the era. The latter was deemed more appropriate in the end.
