As the festivities of 4/20 commence, Chinatown Market drops a Spring 2018 capsule of stoner t-shirts. Informed by a cannabis-inspired lifestyle, the capsule boasts tees and hoodies with intricate, trippy and multicolored graphics. While some are a colorful commentary on suburban life, featuring an illustration of a squinty eye couple at a tennis court, others are more verbally forward like the "CALL MY LAWYER" back slogan.
The stoner t-shirts boast more direct references to the psychoactive drug. The purple full-back illustration with two theatrical masks -- one with a maniacal expression and a joint, the other perhaps in some sort of existential despair, that have a plea to 'Smoke Now, Laugh Later,' is a worthy example.
Limited in number, Chinatown Market's Spring 2018 stoner t-shirts are available at stores starting today.
