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

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.

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

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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