Mixed media including hash oil, kief and rolling papers on wood

Silk Road was created from drugs.  Thus, should the sale of the artwork have been made illegal?  Shouldn't intent play a factor?  Much like Ross Ulbricht's situation, the answer is nuanced.  After all, I wasn't selling drugs for the sake of ingestion. 

This work was meant to foster conversation around Ross' intentions in creating the Silk Road as I believe his sentence for building a free market experiment was unjust.
