Maturation of A Stoner - Ashley Wilson

Ashley Wilson is a mental health & cannabis advocate and the brand manager for Plantivia.

How does a stoner look?

Like anything we do for the first time, we begin with a level of immaturity. When you start to drive you are first inexperienced until you spend time on the road. Anyone new to anything at whatever age is bound to making mistakes and hopefully learning from them. So again, what does a stoner look like? Are they young, lazy, sloppy, do they smell like weed or are they a clean cut, neat freak with a high profile job?

I don’t believe the image of a stoner is monolithic.

To explore this, I shot with self proclaimed stoners in this series asking each guest how and why they started smoking and how it has changed if at all today.

All shots taken on Mamiya 645 80mm lens / Portra 400 Sony A7 - 24-70 Sigma Art Lens
