The intersection of adult coloring books, cannabis culture, and a beloved cartoon character has resulted in a niche product category. These items typically feature illustrations of the porous, yellow denizen of Bikini Bottom in scenarios that allude to, or directly depict, cannabis consumption. For example, one may find renditions of the character and his friends engaging in activities popular within cannabis subcultures, often with exaggerated expressions and psychedelic backgrounds.
This particular blend of elements caters to adults who enjoy both the relaxing activity of coloring and the aesthetic associated with cannabis use, finding a connection to the familiar nostalgia of a childhood cartoon. The perceived benefits can include stress reduction, enhanced creativity, and a sense of amusement derived from the humorous juxtaposition of innocence and adult themes. Historically, adult coloring books gained popularity as a mindfulness tool, and the addition of cannabis-related imagery expands the appeal to a specific demographic.
