Albert’s notebook<\/p>\n

What we once took for smoking.<\/h1>\n

Personal scenes about habits, context and the stories that cannabis use learns to tell. Looking at them from a distance does not erase what we lived; it puts the decision back in our hands.<\/p>\n

\n

Thirteen scenes, no sermon<\/p>\n

A city, a recipe, a white coat, a nickname, a house and several versions of us arriving late to the same conversation. Some things helped us, some have been charging interest and some deserve a little air. Nostalgia is welcome. It does not get to decide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
