Global political and business leaders are talking seriously about ending marijuana prohibition everywhere from D.C. to Davos. Recent polls say a majority of Americans are in favor of legalizing marijuana, and not just in the states you'd expect but even in Missouri, Indiana, Texas, Florida and Louisiana. In Washington State, Colorado and the country of Uruguay, marijuana is now legally regulated, not to mention the twenty states and D.C. that have implemented medical marijuana laws since 1996. Comments about the overuse of tired old stoner images have popped up recently onBloomberg TV, Huffington Post and Forbes. Most recently, Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times reporter Matt Richtel took to Twitter to call out his own paper for using a stereotypical image (literally of Cheech amp;amp; Chong) for an otherwise serious story about scientific studies on marijuana's impact on driving skills. I can't even count the number of times I've cringed while watching a serious news segment about the national debate over marijuana policy become overshadowed by relentless footage of guys wearing head to toe marijuana leaf accessories and tie dye while ripping bong hits at a 420 fest. Similarly, Sheryl Sandberg and Getty Images recently partnered on a similar project to provide non-sexist stock images of women at work, ones that don't look like outtakes from Mad Men. - The Huffington Post
