Students showcase pot-influenced art
Marijuana was a gateway drug to Polynesian dance for Alex Couture.
Now a 19-year-old UF physics freshman, he started attending music festivals when he started smoking pot about a year ago. He said seeing people there spin poi, an art form from New Zealand in which dancers spin sometimes-flaming balls on ropes, inspired him to try it for himself.
Tuesday night in a Little Hall classroom, Couture showed off his skills at a meeting of NORML Gators dedicated to the influence of cannabis on art. He and five other students showed performances and artwork they said weed helped them create to an audience of about 15.
