25, hard to wrap my head around.  Where has the time gone?   
If you are reading this with your baby son in your arms- one day you will ask the same.

Only the other day, I was swinging him by the arms in a circle as we waiting for the bus playing airplane. Only the other day he was wrapped around my leg as I dragged him across the floor when I mopped, the dogs following closely behind.  It seems not long ago where I was reading the Monster at the end of the book for the 17th time READ in Grovers voice! Laughing at Clark the Toothless shark..  Crashing Thomas the tank into the lumber yard - to get a giggle... bulldozing the backyard with TONKAS  filled with cheesies. 
Wasn't it just a few weeks ago I watched him hear for the first time?  
As I type, instantly  my chest heaves with JOY- JOY that I felt that day- as I remember the look & the tears flow just like it was yesterday. JOY
Wasn't it just Yesterday, I carried him to bed because his feet hurt.. because I chased him around the backyard with  the hose & visa versa.  Well worth the pain he assured me at the time.

Today my son is 25.  He is the love of my life.  
The past 25 years have been the best of my life because he is in it.  
A gift from God I give thanks for every  time I remember! At least once a day.

Today at 25, he already has very good friends, several 'brothers'.  I've no doubts they will remain life long friends. He's traveling the world and experiencing this new adventure for himself.  I type NOW with a heart bursting with JOY for his happiness- explore- it's what we are here for. Living his dreams as they turn to reality - he made happen.   He refuses to give in or give up.  He is my inspiration.

I know mom's say they have good sons but I've got a wonderful son... 
I honestly could not ask for one change... well he does tease me about my hair & bathrobe most days... if you could see my morning rooster hair & smell the purple bathrobe you would get it.  Hahaha  It's NOT me- it's the material. 
He makes sure I eat and is forever reminding  'DRINK MORE water &  Medicate!
He's protective too- naturally. 

He is all I could possibly hoped he would  be  in a young man of 25. 
I love my son.   

Seems like yesterday he fell asleep in my arms for the first time...
best 25 years ever. 

With Love

Strictly a bit on imaginative fun...  as summer comes to a close it has me strolling the garden glad the leaves have yet to change color. We are having an indian summer in Ontario 
today will be another balmy 75F..  thats a HOT 23C  for us. lol  I like telling Americans it's 23 today!  hee hee hee

There are many women growers in the industry.  Officially & un officially - I say this because anyone who know- and lives with a ' male grower - realizes they too become growers- know why?  It's hard work.  Women/wives/partners/friends help and learn along the way.   Women are also rising above and growing from the start and doing a fantastic job!  Ladies showing ladies some love. Cannabis is for all and can be grown and cared for by all.   Its a fact plants react.  They react to sound, touch and vibrations - a womans touch in the garden is NEEDED on all levels. Your plants will thank you for a women's presence & gentle touch.

Do I consider myself a 'female grower - no..
I understand the work, the process and have witnessed it many times over on several scales- I've got friends in high places  :)  I could not do it, it's too difficult for me- I know I've screwed up a few times. I cant' wait for all the seed to be planted next summer in gardens across Canada! Still if you want the best - you must go to someone who knows what they are doing- know  how- EXPERIENCE. 

When I say 'Rich Assholes' don't belong- I have nothing against 'rich- lol   It's the people who think just because they have $ they will take over- they have no knowledge or experience with the plants, no growing experience themselves, they do not care about people, patients  or the PLANTs.
GREED & $$$.  &  it will show.  Like the Canadian company now run by an American, the former creator of OXY.  What does it matter you ask?

It's all energy.   What energy do you want to surround you?
Which energy do you choose to support? Which energy goes into your body?
Compassion or greed?   I will say I'm sure there are good people  working for these companies who need jobs.  I wish them well  & success. 

I know others  very wealthy - are also opening LPs in Canada..  You have to be for an LP but  they ALSO have EXPERIENCE, they have been doing this all their lives, they care about the PLANT first and then people, they have true passion- this is who should be supported.   Male & female.  I heard Jodie Emery mention this in the cannabis commitee talks - and it's the truth. We need and want experience'. Americans now are trying to come up and open shop - all GREED?
Not only do they not care about the plant - they could care less about Canadians.
RESEARCH.. who ARE you getting your medicine from.
I watched an interview of some "Medical' dispensary in the states, when the owner of the co.  reaches for cannabis -  "Smell that? That smells like MONEY!"  he remarks.  Wow.  
That said it all.  There's  just one example...    
Smells like medicine, smells like nature healing, smells like life support, smells like life.
Smells like money?  Yuk.  

BUY Canadian, Support Canadians.  Encourage Canadian.
Keep our own economy GROWING. 
 
I've met a dog or two.. I wouldn't smoke thier medicine if you paid me- they are nasty and it makes me feel their medicine is probably nothing by pumped up junk- all about profit.
NO thanks.  This is my temple I smoke only the best grown with TLC & THC.
I know my cannabis  is grown with passion & love and it shows & feels fantastic.

Do you want to use something created in LOVE or GREED?
It matters.
You matter.

No go out to the garden & enjoy some healing herb... that's what I'm about to do... NOW.

Please continue to SOPPORT the smaller dispensaries if you are visiting one!
There is MORE than enough room in Canada for all businesses to try to succeed.
Those that are Professional,  provide quality medicine are cost efficient  & treat Canadians right, will do well.

WAKE & BAKE! Rise & Grind!

It's not medicated but I was baked' when I baked it. 

                                   BE on HIGH Alert!

BEWARE REEFER Madness-  will still run rampant next year  & our kids will still suffer the most.  I watched some of the talks with the board of cannabis " It was televised- I had wished I watched it all but  I've had a terrible headache for about 3 days & the computer gets to me - any monitor, I should have just used headphones..  (thanks Captain hindsight) - it was interesting,  frustrating and hopeful. * I believe it can be watched still... google.

What I did watch was informative- I will start by warning - be on HIGH ALERT! 
I understand Canada for example will try to prevent Cannabis establishments from advertising/marketing... which is just ridiculous. We all now who's going to be the first to flick that switch when it turns legal' - look at the merchandising to go with already  & I agree with them.  WHY NOT? It is business and someone will do it sooner or later.

Alcohol - HELLO!??  The legal HIGH  - PROVEN time and time again to KILL, never mind drunk driving, domestic abuse, alcohol poisoning, date rape..  yet - I get that HIGH glossy L.C.B.O.  magazine delivered right to my my DOOR. Have a look at out L.C.B.O. website- it's impressive.  Do you know ours is the the biggest monopoly in the world - the  L.C.B.O.?  
Will we see a comparable magazine about the many strains and 'stuff' from a dispensary?  
I HOPE SO.      OR we are Canada the hypocritical!  
The two should NOT be sold together.

Is our government trying again to make canabis their NEXT big monopoly?
I think so.  I hope not.  
As Canadians- everyone deserves the opportunity to try to succeed.

If the big Legal providers are good... people will use them and little businesses will still be appreciated in smaller rural area. It's partly 'the experience' and there is nothing wrong with that.  I also like privately owed businesses because of the  enjoyment- individuality they bring to our lives. Creative little cannabis shops.   

Alcohol advertising is available on almost everything from babies clothing, sheets, frisbees, balls..   toys.  We have been brainwashed by it, on television, magazines, billboards, and on most every corner -  the united states and the booze you can get EVERY WHERE -is terrible, if only you could get good food as readily.
Are you kidding - no cannabis advertising? It's unfair. 
& It will be taken to court & Cannabis will WIN.
SO - why waste any time? Why waste tax payers money?
​We always pay some how.
Why add any bullshit to anyones lives?
Right?  

​HIGH ALERT!! DO NOT FALL for this REEFER MADNESS.
By the way, they also just tried to prevent  cananbis paranafalia like T shirts and hats from being worn, advertised in California - it failed - FREEDOM of Speech.

Advertising a product will EDUCATE us.
Why should Cannabis be an exception to the rule.
​
More to come.

Wait until you see my Mushroom stuff! 

Creatively with TLC & THC
Georgia...
on your mind.
