In the last ten years, the American perception of marijuana has shifted from "gateway drug" to it being alcohol's goofy cousin. This evolution, from marginalized to mainstream, is the subject of a new group exhibition, Lit!, at the Chesterfield Gallery in New York through May 15. The collection of smokeable glass blown sculptures, photographic prints, and oil paintings is a reflection on weed's place in American culture, and the road it traveled to get there.
