The Commercialization of Weed Culture

It is apparent in the world today that weed culture is not as subdued as it may have once been. It seems as though young people in particular are more noticeably infatuated with the trend at this point in time, especially through their decisions to wear clothing emblazoned with the recognizable marijuana leaf.
