All creative directors, art directors and desingers in Portland hate weed and will hold it against you.

Nope, but I saw many cool cannabis related artworks at Deviantart, unfortunately dunno how to attach them. There is also a great non-commercial source dedicated to medical marijuana https://www.zenabis.com/ , you can search for inspiration there.

I did a lot of work for synthetic cannabis, entheogens and smart drugs a few years back and I'd gladly drop everything I do now to work on a cannabis brand if and when the legality issue in the UK was ever resolved.
Preferably my own brand though.
One day, perhaps.

A real "design discussion" on QBN... Man, perhaps I was wrong about this community. I think I am definitely going to do it. I study retail design and materials, here's some inspiration if anyone else wants to take a crack at this:

I created the brand and was the creative director for the largest north american producer of marijuana and then rebranded the oldest producer in the netherlands... It completely changed my career trajectory.
I will never be a designer for hire again.

- I think what we're all wondering is: HOW did your career trajectory change? Better/worse? More money? Opportunity? Less?nb
- I'd like to know as well... Portland is a small design community, it feels like this would truly happen to me if I did it. Change my trajectory...obey_pdx
- There is a huge amount of opportunity if you do it right. A lot of entrepreneurial spirit in the industry and there is a lot
of money in the space.VEEJ77 - As for me, I would never go back to being a creative director in any other industry. It's nice not being confined and setting benchmarks.VEEJ77

I lump this in with all the other vice industries. Tobacco, vape-shops, online gambling, chat-lines, exotic dancing, etc. Probably not great for your portfolio if you want to continue to appeal to more conservative mainstream businesses.

Make a digital sploof on your site that checks for Republican-esque cookies and filters out the weeeeeed, man.

If you want Republican clients, don't put it in.
If you want good clients, do a good job and of course put it in. Great work for non-evil companies is fine.

Why the fuck not? If someone's offended by weed, why would you want to work with them anyway?

you should research more restaurants, cafe design. i think you'll notice the successful ones dont focus on a concept so much as the experience. when i smoke pot like everyone else i am not necessarily looking to get super baked and look at trippy science fiction stuff from the 60s.
a lot of people smoke in the morning or at lunch, what would they enjoy as decorum? how does this change throughout the day? do you want the place to cater to mostly evening crowd? then what experience do you want for them?
- people want to take it home and chill with their friends, not hang out in some shop to smokemonospaced
- then design around that is the point. what is the display like?uuuuuu
- and if thats the purpose why have anything to do with space like he imagines? should be more like a boutique shop not a space bar.uuuuuu
- this is what i'm responding to BTW, http://www.qbn.com/r…uuuuuu
- i wouldn't think of the concept so much as the buying experience. and space cadet weed is just a cheesy weed stereotype.uuuuuu
- that wouldn't convince me to return because its just a gimmickuuuuuu

- also, people smoke/take/eat it to sleep better, also to stay awake, there's a lot more to it than tie dyesformed
