The first issue of the Captain Cannabis comic was published during a unique time in the history of cannabis in Canada. The beauty of comics was reaching a new high of acceptance in 1975 and the push for legalization reaching a tough point as well. The creator then thought to place the setting for Captain Cannabis in a post-prohibition world. This ultimately removed the antagonistic elements such as law enforcement and created a possible projection of the future. A future where cannabis wasn’t seen as a menace but readily acceptable by all.
