We're tired of seeing lame stoners and slackers as the posterchildren for the marijuana movement.

Which is why it's refreshing to see advocacy group the Drug Policy Alliance continue its efforts to normalize marijuana use through photography.

The group released a new collection of 64 photos depicting responsible Coloradoan adults smoking recreational pot.

View ho-hum imagery of grown folks smoking joints and pipes while engaging in frighteningly average activities like preparing dinner, enjoying board games, and taking baths.

"We all know that many marijuana smokers look more like your Aunt Bettie or your accountant than The Dude from The Big Lebowski," said the DPA's managing director of communications, Sharda Sekaran, in a press release, "but most images in the public sphere still do not reflect this."

The new photos are the latest in a collection of stock photography dedicated towards presenting a modern view of pot users. Last year, the DPA shot photos of average California residents using marijuana for medical purposes.
