- Multicolored illustration featuring a circular image of a couple at a night club with a gold border. The man in the forefront is dressed in a black top hat and bow tie. He is wearing a monocle and has a long black and gold cigarette holder with a marijuana joint. In the background is a dark haired woman wearing a blue evening gown, white gloves and a white hat with a blue ribbon, She is also smoking a joint. She is sitting at a table with a white table cloth and a cocktail glass sitting next to her. Behind her is a red curtain. The postcard background is of black city buildings at night and a blue sky with white and pink clouds. The text "High Society" is silver with the "o" drawn as a gemstone. Other text is purple, blue, orange or black print. The illustration is bordered in turquoise and orange, The artists' names and copyright information are at the bottom of the card in black print. This is one of several images the artists collaborated on, featuring a series of iconic marijuana brand label parodies they called the California Homegrowers Association. The fake brands they created were illustrations inspired by the California produce crate-style agricultural labels of the day. Text on the postcard verso is in black print.
