Honored to direct and shoot this photo of @thealicemoon for an article written by @javierhasse featured in @forbes 📰💻 The article highlights Alice’s mysterious medical condition, CHS (Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome), and talks about the need for legalization along with expanded medical research of c@nnabis. The subject of CHS has proved to be a volatile one in the c@nnabis space. Many industry operators have expressed confusion or retaliation in response to discussion of this newly defined medical condition. The article zones in on the widespread bullying that accompanies speaking on this newly emerging topic. This photograph was inspired by an iconic “cigarette scene” in the movie, Malèna, in which the main character is offered countless options to light her cigarette despite already having her own. Much like Malèna, Alice is often misunderstood, sexualized and vilified because of the pro-c@nnabis education and community she builds for people learning about CHS in the c@nnabis space. She is constantly being offered countless pieces of irrelevant and sometimes even dangerous advice surrounding her condition. The multiple options of c@nnabis being offered in this picture represents all the different ways people have tried to convince Alice to ignore her medical diagnosis and consume again against her doctor’s orders.
