This humorous tee supports the legalization of marijuana use with the message, "legalize today, get high tonight". This shirt was made in the 90s when cannabis was quite the hot topic. The war on drugs was in full swing during the 80s, and that enthusiastic opposition continued into the 90s, particularly thanks to Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No" campaign. For decades, marijuana was seen as a dangerous substance with no medical value, but this opinion was turned on its head in the 90s.

In 1996, California became the first US state to legalize the use of medical cannabis, when proposition 215 was passed. The approval of Prop 215 began to encourage other states, and before the end of the decade, medical marijuana had also been approved in Oregon, Alaska, Washington, and Maine. The pop culture of the decade also exemplified the public's shifting opinions on the drug. Movies like Friday and Half Baked, lightened weed's dangerous reputation, while popular hip hop artists like Snoop Dogg and Cypress Hill became prominent proponents for legalization.

Fits like a modern unisex adult Extra Large. This shirt is soft and distressed with discoloration and holes, see pics.
