“MOOD: Legalize It” – Original Political Collage on Watercolor Postcard

“MOOD: Legalize It” – Original Political Collage on Watercolor Postcard

One-of-a-kind, handmade from upcycled materials by Vanessa Hoo (aka Nezz Carter / OAKE)

Make a statement without saying a word.

This piece confronts one of the strangest contradictions in modern law: how something that kills (tobacco) is legal, while something that heals (cannabis) can only ruin your life by the laws written against it.

“MOOD: Legalize It” is an original political collage exploring the collective cognitive dissonance of U.S. drug policy. It's not the plant that’s dangerous- it’s the punishment. Through layered textures, stark contrasts, and playful yet potent symbolism, this collage asks: Who gets to define what’s criminal? And why do we still let them?

Created on a watercolor postcard using hand-cut, upcycled materials, this artwork is both a critique and a celebration- a bold call to consciousness from the hands of Vanessa Hoo (aka Nezz Carter / OAKE), founder of Groovy Paradox.
