A Woman and Her Cat in Their Cannabis Garden, Paris 1915

Our next photo has become rather famous, because I’ve seen it circulating around the Internet a number of times in the past. All we really know about the woman in the photograph is that she lived in Paris in 1915, and that she enjoyed relaxing with her cat in her cannabis garden. The photo is so engaging, that a group of writers over at Messy Nessy Chic used it as a writing prompt for fictional stories. France banned cannabis in 1953, and it is now illegal to grow in their country. But at the time this photo was taken, what this woman was doing was perfectly legal.
