now attended many gatherings in the community and have noticed that artists play a very large role in the tone and mood of the events.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, we were fortunate enough to meet Marie from <a

creates much richer work that focuses on much more than a simple leaf.<\/p>\n<p>After meeting at the Cannabis Cup, we decided to try and speak to Marie more about her Kushed Out Fashions.\u00a0 Kushed Out Fashions has been around since 2005.\u00a0 As we know, much has changed over the course of 7 years.\u00a0 With new states and new access for patients, marijuana has been able to shed much of its unfairly negative perception due to decades of false propaganda.\u00a0 When Marie first started her business many of her closest friends and relatives were not entirely supportive. \u00a0She was often told she should pursue a more traditional career path.\u00a0 Marie did try this at first and was very close to becoming an air traffic controller but soon realized that this would never satisfy her artistic desires.\u00a0 Now, 7 years later, many in her close circle have applauded the unconventional choices she has made.<\/p>\n<p>Kushed Out Fashions offers a variety of products including Shirts, Booty Shorts, Bags, Dresses, Cardigans, Blazers and more.\u00a0 Marie has demonstrated her varied skill set with her sister site, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prettystoney.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">prettystoney.com<\/a>, which features products such as Bracelets, earrings, hair extensions, chains, necklaces, rings, hemp jewelry, and scarves.\u00a0 Her products are personally handmade and are uniquely one of a kind.\u00a0 However besides products, as readers will see at the bottom of this article, Marie also showcases her talent with beautiful drawings.\u00a0 She has plans to launch a magazine named kushinformer.com.\u00a0 Marie would also like to see more creativity and flow return to hip-hop and plans on pursuing this in the future.<\/p>\n<p>We at marijuana.net are not the only ones impressed with her work.\u00a0 Marie says that she has people approach her and tell her that they wear her t-shirts several times per week.\u00a0 Recently, at a cultural event a fan
