In the Age of Legalization & Decreased Stigma, New Open-License Images Combat Stereotypes and Capture the Responsible, Modern-Day Marijuana Consumer

Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–April 16, 2015.  Recreational marijuana is now legal in Washington, D.C. and four states, a multi-million dollar legal industry is emerging, and marijuana’s mainstreaming is the topic of dozens of daily news stories, but there are very few photos that reflect this changing environment.  To combat the outdated (yet still predominant) stereotypic images of people who use marijuana, and encourage news outlets to instead run photos that reflect real modern-day marijuana consumers, the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) is releasing new stock photos today.  These brand new images are available open license and free of charge for non-commercial editorial purposes.
