Abstract:
Postcard depicting a green camel smoking a water pipe. He appears to be floating above a flying carpet against a yellow background. Tilted buildings and cannabis plants are shown below the carpet. The words "Ganja lights" are at the top of the card in yellow and white, against a blue background with clouds and stars. Smoke is rising from the water pipe. There's a green border decorated with cannabis leaves. The water pipe is entangled with the border on each side. The camel appears to be a parody of the Joe Camel figure that had been used to advertise cigarettes.
