Description: Inspired by the reflection on the conscious and sustainable use of cannabis vs the lobbies that move the modern world, presenting itself as an ecological and versatile raw material with high potential for pharmaceutical and cosmetic use, a strong substitute for plastic, among other endless applications according to a new culture of sustainability for the use of the countless resources of this plant’s compounds. 
Censored by the “civilized” world, used by Amazonian tribes since ancient times, the “Queen of the Forest” is evoked by the deity Juramidam who, in his simplicity as a wise caboclo, appeals in universal language to the spiritual elevation and consciousness that is imposed on Humanity in a New Age “revolution”. 
The creative idea is supported by the use of the color green and the elements moon, sun and star, symbolizing Nature and ecology, the gold in the beard valuing wisdom, with the lotus flower representing the purification of the world in a Universe of freedom of thought, inter-religious and infinite possibilities.
