:-)   I know what most are thinking - too late..  LOL
But it will not stop me for reading and researching and planning on a few more drawings!
I plan on re-drawing the above toon - my favorite for the next EXPO. It will be my new banner. To us Living Proof has become the most important proof of all. 
Oh, I also cannot do laundry , dishes or stuff! BLISS in disguise!! Yeah!!   Timed perfectly I am in between jobs, literally just finished one this a.m. and one starts next week! I am going to blog tomorrow about the job I have been working on as it has been such a pawsitive experience!!  For now... time to pick up on some serious research.

The above cartoon says it all for me. I have listened to so many people who are very sick and tell me their Dr. won't even consider cannabis.  If you go prepared - I suggest you print out information and provide links, research and studies regarding  Cannabis and how it can help your condition. ALSO print out a few side effects of pre-scribed medications - and why you DON'T want to take them.
 I have been blessed - I have great Dr.s  that clearly put the care of the patient and understanding concerns above their own.  I can imagine (no,  I know) how frustrating this is.  Being forced to feel like a criminal and continue to break the law. If you are like us you will break the law because you KNOW what Cannabis is doing for you and you will probably continue to use it illegally - rather than to keep looking for another Dr.  If that is the case I too understand. Especially when sick and tired of being sick and tired..  BUT  if your Dr. says no then at least question it, you deserve a proper explanation from your "professional care giver" They also need to have something to think about. I am convinced change is in the air, the way only it will happen is to get everyone talking and thinking!  Especially OUR Dr.s.  I do ask that you do not disrespect them.. most have worked hard to get where they are and deserve to be there, and just like the  MILLIONS of us have been mislead & misinformed. They cannot continue to deny the OBVIOUS facts. 

* side note.. yesterday someone made a comment that honestly - hurt. 
"Georgia Toons advertisements are cute and contain jokes, it goes over people's heads that they are truly ads for her website, and artwork that she sells. Just forget that she is allowed to advertise here."  My cartoons advertisements?? To get people to come to my site to buy stuff? Goes over peoples heads?? It had me think -is that what people really feel I am doing??  Am I not permitted to try to earn an income like everyone else? What many do not realize is no one pays me for my Cannabis cartoons.  I just started to get paid from one magazine I am in because he feels I deserve to get paid, but most do not. I am o.k. with that, it is more important to me that the message gets out. *I am very appreciative to those who do purchase my comic and the occasional item it shows me support and  it is very rewarding for me to help my hubby with the bills from time to time.  As MUCH as I LOVE what I do and WHO I do it for -  it is work. It takes research, time & thought - to try to get a message out with one drawing  - one that hopefully will appeal to others so that they might share.  GET people thinking! Make them aware that there are many children as well that are benefiting from Cannabis use as well as the millions of adults. I am PASSIONATE about what I am doing.  I was angry at the person who made that comment - he has since apologized.  Anyhow, already this a.m. I woke up thought - he has made me a better person, I was more determined to draw.Then  I logged onto FB and was overwhelmed with the support. I am ashamed that I doubted for even a split second. Rest assured I will not again.  Faith restored - pencils sharpened Brush dipped!   I have more cartoons to finish!XOX <><

5 years ago - had you asked me these questions I might have said yes to a couple.  Now I know better. I learn more every day. It has become my job. I had a mom e mail me who's child suffers from childhood arthritis and I told her what I know, I also told her that she should talk to her Dr.s.  When it comes to our children I think  most parents do not want to pump their children with toxic chemicals! I hope most would not. Sadly I am realizing many do not even give it a second thought ;-(  Especially children that will have to take these medications for life. Compared to most options Cannabis is a safe medicine! If it can be used to control pain on top of other medications needed it should be explored! I tell all my Dr.s.  THEY need to hear it from people. 


Storm and I had a great day today - as always when we go out and some good conversations. One was about Dr.s and what we read on FB : A woman was saying while at a "Dr.s" office she was going to try to get her license for sleeping problems - and does not want to use harmful chemicals. The office was full of people many admitting they just want to have a license to smoke pot!  She also heard that for $2000, she would get it guaranteed with a plant limit of 43.  Heres the thing.. these Dr.s. ..ARRRRRRGGGHHH!!!   There are many many people who seriously need cannabis to help theme ease their pain. My son is one of them. This Dr. - gives it to who ever pays - of course you are going to go to him.  If you need it medically -ASK YOUR normal Dr.                      OR HOW will it ever change!?
In the past I have posted how - be prepared, provide facts regarding your condition. If at first they say no - ask why and have an intelligent conversation. Perhaps they need to be educated. We have been lied to for decades - they are just like us. This is my passion I make time to research, educate.  My Dr.s are busy every day trying to figure out hundreds of aliments - they do not have the time to research. BUT ASK.  One person said they would be too embarrassed to ask their "real doctor"  in my opinion then -you don't BELIEVE. 
I am NOT ashamed of our medicine.  
I have said it before - I have no issues with those who want to use it recreationally -been there done that.  IF YOU DO just want to get "HIGH" - ADMIT IT !  STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS AS A HUMAN!  VOTE! VOICE!  Don't be going to a Dr. paying $200 and saying you need it medically - don't make up some bullshit excuse. IF you do you are part of the problem! You are helping prohibition! 
Once you understand the pain that some of these people are going through to use a medicine - the negative stigma attached because of those that do just use it as an excuse to get high..  It is not right, It is bad karma and quite frankly your fucking with my kids medicine! 
Mine and many others.  One day you might NEED it.  I pray you don't.
Perhaps  - you think your getting 'high' but  perhaps it is helping you more that you realize. 
Cannabis is medicine. As for the person that said they would get it for them for $2000. guaranteed,  they are a vulture. Preying on the sick. Making it all about $$$ And that is why we are all here in the first place.   These jokers that just want to get high and then joke/brag about it, you wonder why seriously sick people are getting pissed off?  I do know of a couple of people that went to the 'Dr.' - and paid and I was happy for them,  as I agree knowing the situations -they would benefit from Cannabis.  I can only hope that they were not embarrassed to ask their own Dr. first.  I am not a Dr.  BUT I am a BELIEVER.  If more and more people go to their Dr. and ask they are going to have to start to listen , AND if they  are narrow minded, FIND A NEW DR.!  This is your life you are talking about. Do you want someone like that?
I am blessed I have great Dr.s - I can say that I have talked about it with all of them, each if anything has listened. That is a step in the right direction.  IT is between YOU and your Dr., No one else can feel your pain.  IF you like your Dr. and your Dr. does not agree - don't give up - educate them each time you go in...  never give up.  I think it is almost as important to like the person. Like your Dr. you have to be honest with them too.  If they think you just want to get high - then I agree with them. Declined. Dr.s are not stupid ( LOL - at least I hope my brain Dr. knows what he's doing, hee hee hee) DON'T insult them with a bullshit excuse. They deal with some very seriously ill, very sick people. 
  STAND up for your rights.   IT is much less harmful than alcohol. 
BEFORE anything
