So when the girl in the painting sees the dispensary, which is supposed to be a symbol of progress towards legalization, she instead sees her dad—still in prison, trapped from behind the glass in one of those restricted visitation rooms where you can only talk to one another over inline telephones.
Sure, but with the context of drugs and the window and the phone… I dunno. I thought it was obvious. Especially with there being a counter all along the window.
