Cultivating Compassion
Me and the Love of my life. 2010
A love Story.
Be the change you want to see in the world. Time for Change.
The Happy Hippie has had a makeover. More so - he has moved into the times.
I have specifically drawn about Cannabis for a couple of years & have educated myself for a few reasons. FIRST it is my son's medicine and has given him control of his pain for the first time in his life. Second it has given us HOPE. Third... the more I learn the more I am amazed and ashamed as a EARTHLING that we have such issues with this plant. We need to LOOK at the bigger picture! I believe once educated it would be difficult for anyone to deny.
Cannabis as a life saving medicine. HEMP as a EARTH saving plant.
I have met many people. People who are suffering and just WANT to ease their pain.
Not "druggies, hippies or criminals" People who have terrible diseases, people who were in car accidents, people who have had severe trauma in their life. People who are born with terrible, painful, rare illnesses. People who want the right to choose between a natural medicine or a synthetic one. People who want a Choice regarding their own body & mind.
People like you... People like us.
I have witnessed pain release, laughter and hope since cannabis has been in my son's life.
We have also met some of the most compassionate people I have ever known.
All trying to do the same thing in their own way.
***I have also met many people who just want to get high. Who am I to tell anyone what to do.
AS long as you are not harming anyone. What you do with your own life is your business.
I am NOT here to judge. I am NOT telling you or your kids to 'get stoned.' I am hoping that you want to inform yourself so that you may have an educated conversations with your own children and family ! DO NOT lie to them.
I have seen some people on Cannabis and they turn into 'BudBlobs' They are stoners. They have little motivation other then the T.V and munchies. I know a few people who are like that, many of them do not smoke CANNABIS!
Cannabis is not for everyone, just as many people should NOT drink.
I have seen too many teenagers/adults who drink alcohol, I believe it is much more harmful then cannabis.
Especially Impaired drivers who take the lives of others .
From our own experiences we know... everyone is going to learn for themselves.
With more education, better decisions will be made.
As for a 'gateway drug'... please. Anything can be abused. Can Smarties be a gateway drug to Smores!?
Leading to a love of BIG BURGERS and junk food resulting in an epidemic of obesity in The U.S.A & Canada!
Growing up all of my friends drank first - so in fact that would make alcohol the biggest gateway drug. Think about it.
Choice and Self Control.
I do believe that Cannabis is a MEDICINE. Be it ease your physical pain or mental pain.
I am going to BE the change I want to see in this world. I want more people to know about Cannabis and how it helps.
I want unnecessary suffering to stop. I want insanity to stop. The Happy Hippie has a NEW LOOK.
More modern. An everyday person, your brother, sister, mom, friend, uncle, grandma or child.
People who use Cannabis as medicine.
I will still have some fun! That is what life is about!
Using your God given gift to make this earth a better place & having fun.
I will introduce a new Hippie character, one more 'age' appropriate with the Hippie Stigma.
TIME to LOSE this negative stigma with Cannabis! -Time to lose the negative stigma attached to people.
I hope you will continue enjoying my work. I thank everyone who has given me inspiration to keep drawing.
Mostly the loves of my life Storm and Norm. The direction I am going is guided by love.
