Wow, this cartoon smacked me right in the head ;-) Awesome.
It started with a joke from my best bud Cathy.♥ 
I was stressed wondering what to draw for 4/20?! 
The universal day of 
Celebration for Cannabis!!! 
A Plant.
Grown from a seed.
Made by *GOD.
(*original patent holder)


Medical, Recreational, Hemp, Food, Fuel.. 
It's the day and I want to say THANK YOU!  
                                       I have said it so many times, I thank God daily for this Plant! 
Give us this Day our daily Bud...  <3 Wow. YES,   I read recently  how powerful that prayer is;  Give us this dayour daily bread,  -not thanks for yesterday, or make sure I have it tomorrow. Give us THIS day.  Focus on today.
.. and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us,
 and that                 ^ ^        ^  That simply put means  ^    ^  ^             :
                                               PEACE, PEOPLE!  
Religion aside... who can argue with those lines?  How else are we going to get ahead, clearly WAR is not the answer! 
Thank you Marvin, now in my head for the rest of the day.
People all around the world who suffer over a plant. A plant less toxic than many others,  proven helpful to ease pain, yet illegal and lives destroyed because of it.    
WTF?   O.M.God.  How disappointing.  
A PLANT.  While others  rape, kill, abuse, terrorize, suffer & starve needlessly... 
enough with the bullshit distraction. 
FOCUS on the REAL problems at hand. 

Rise Up people! Speak up! <3   Celebrate this Plant! Let it be a symbol of change.
It all starts with a SEED!!!  Life.

So.. Yes!
     Give us this Day our daily bud, 
       and thank you Lord  for it!
I do! Everyday! Keeping the Love of my life happy - How could I not give thanks?
Celebrate 4/20, Spread Peace and Love !!! 
- there are already enough assholes doing the opposite;-)

Norm and I went out last night to pick up a few things. Walmart opened not long ago - too close for comfort. You can see it from my house, it is the quickest and easiest for Norm. 
Not being well, I have had to rely on him to go shopping and this has led to endless frustration and numerous untold arguments. 

I Am NOT a fan of their produce to begin with! I swear, buy something and almost over night it starts to shrivel in my fridge! Never buy anything in a bag, usually one or more is rotten.. it’s endless,  last night I need garlic.  

Garlic a little root plant right? That grows in the ground grown in Canada. 
Do you think I could find any? Only garlic from China - not even another option or choice - there it is!!  That is what divides Norm and I he will say “Screw it, I’m not driving all over for garlic...” and get it. I will say  “Screw it I’m not buying it!”  That is what we have to do. 

Why can't I get some F&^%$ garlic from Canada - or anything else for that matter!?
We can invent all sorts of stuff, send men to the moon but can't grow a decent tomato year round without pumping it full of S*&^?
Why are our options stuff that has come from foreign soil, foreign pests, foreign 
rules/laws/regulations for growing...  across miles in crates and trucks for days, picked too early to ripen on the way!?

YUK!
YUK!
YUK! 

I hate this time of the year for vegetable shopping and being on a limited budget  (aren’t we all) you lean towards deals instead of health! 
Less off, in the cart yesterday was MEAT.  
More spices, greens, fruit and WHOLE grain bread. No food in a box.
No Junk isle.  I am on the road to recovery and I am taking him with me like it or not. 

Don’t get me wrong - I get it! I get he’s tired, worked and then has to go get groceries and does not want to drive all over for garlic!  When does it end and when will it start to change if we don’t act every chance we get?

Please the next time you go to  the grocery store - make a point to buy Canadian.
As a matter of  fact I was so pissed that I put stuff back and that is all we bought.
Going to feasting on mushrooms and sweet potatoes for a while! LOL - Choices limited.

Thank God, Canadian have been able to produce their own HOMEGROWN Herbal medicines.  That could all change in the future. Just as it has been with Cannabis it may become illegal to grow other herbs and foods, then our limited choices even fewer and our chance to say no to GMO - out will go!  
While in Canada - for as long as it remains I prefer to support fellow Canadians and keep my greens as FRESH and HEALTHY as possible - the best way to do that:

                                                                  GROW your OWN! 


Wait till you see my garden this summer !

My tribute trees..  
One of my favorite things to draw and think about. 
So much to think about now that Health Canada wants to change the rules; toon's on the way. 
When I was drawing this I told myself, draw it as a gift for someone - draw it thinking how blessed I am to have this plant in our life.
Draw it to show love and what I think is important. 
Peace and the Planet. With each seed planted we grow Peace, Love for each other  and HOPE  for a better future where people are not treated like criminals. Celebrate a plant put on this earth by our maker to ease ones mind & body.
Decriminalize. 
Make it what it is a plant. Do not ruin lives over a plant.
It is never going away. Too many seeds in the world - just like us humans ;-) 
So do the right thing and end needless suffering. Jail & Pain.  
Educate others. Stand up for your rights! 
Plant the seed of Cannabis education where ever you go! 
To You -that can be who every you want it to be! 
From Me! That too can be from you! 
Give thanks for the healing herb and help end the insanity! 
I wish everyone has a wonderful Christmas - what ever it takes to make them happy.

When it comes to HEMP - I am proud of Canada - We grow and export Hemp all over the world.  We got that right! I saw this short vid. this a.m. on the Hemp car made way back when!!> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLKDTfQMhfg&feature=player_embedded
WOW!  IF only...  Hemp is used in so many ways all around the world, building material, FOOD, clothing, furniture - it is endless. So NOT to grow it is just - insane! 
Think about it!? 
WHY would anyone NOT grow HEMP knowing all it can do?  Because someone might sneak some cannabis in there to get a little buzz....  PLEASE! That is just an excuse! 
It's all about the $$$ people - want to be a little better educated on HEMP today ? 
Watch this:  
http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/hemp-revolution/   Watch it! It is interesting! 
Education is the key to ending the insanity! 
What have you got to lose .. I mean, besides your children's future?

HEMP HEMP HORAY!!! I live in a Country that LOVES it's HEMP!
If you don't speak up! - VOTE.

Planting seeds. If I can only plant one seed it would be the seed of peace. Peace of mind. 
I would like peace of mind. We all would. We all want to know our families are safe, healthy and happy. It sounds so simple.  I am another year older tomorrow, 48 and thrilled I have made it this far. God willing I will make it another day tomorrow, even better another year!  Tomorrow I share my birthday with my favorite artist Michelangelo!  He saw an angel in the marble and carved until he set him free. To be able to draw and see your mind pour out on paper has been the most precious gift I have ever owned, long before I realized it was a gift.
It sets my mind free. When I draw something happy it lets my mind focus on the positive from start to finish.  No wonder I draw so much Laughing Buddha.
Choice. Choose to do something or choose to do nothing. Nothing would be easier - but it would not give me Peace of mind. I chose to draw to try to make a difference.
I have all I want - that is my husband and son - and all the little extras I am truly grateful for are just the icing on my birthday cake! I will wish for good vibes! 
SMILE across my face at just the thought. 
More important than  Cannabis  - Plant the seeds of Peace today!
