I wanted to focus more on one of the contrasts I had found interesting to explore through my work in progress video.
Most prodrug campaigns are focused on the ‘natural’ occurring plants and substances in the earth with active ingredients like cannabinoids or psychoactive qualities. The debate of herb or drug and popular phrase “it’s just a plant” is something I want to further explore. The concept of certain drugs seen as ‘natural’, an attempt to connect with nature and with healing properties seems interesting considering their illegality.
I wanted to make another video that didn’t consider the nostalgic readings of a culturural time or the process of taking/being influenced to create. I instead just wanted to see how much I felt my project could connect to the ‘natural’ and the herb vs drug debate.
