Bongs and BOOBs

My strip has just been picked up by another magazine called 1000watt.  I like it, the look and the message they are sending.  I am very proud to be in all the magazines I am in! Last week I turned down a magazine. I liked the articles on Cannabis and the look but there were shots, lots- of  naked girls.. pretty girls. Although  I am sure most not looking at the face.  I wrestled with this - I want to make people aware so I should publish my toons where ever I can.  I am not judging  ( I too was young and wore low cut high cut clothing ;-)  and had boobs that I probably used to my advantage a few times ;-)  BUT it is not the direction I am going now.   Especially for a medicinal magazine. Why cross that line? If your about Cannabis awareness and medicinal Cannabis - why the boobs?  

I have personally gone from getting high (in highschool) giggle giggle, mellowing out in my 20's from time to time,  helping de-stress and sleep in my 30s to realizing the potential this plant has for helping those seriously suffering. Including my son. 
 I admit had this not happened and my son did not suffer from chronic pain. I'd probably be like so many others warning him against the evils of MARIJUANA.  
I have been educated. In more ways than one. I wish I could say it was from a curious desire, but it was from  a desperate attempt to help my child. As for my consumption - I have to laugh when I have a few friends now reading about what's going on and commenting to me - “I never knew you smoked!” I didn't really... from time to time but it was no big deal if I did not.  I will not say I have not or will not, I will not be a hypocrite. I have no regrets about using cannabis in the past. I do have several regrets about alcohol.  Don’t we all.

So I will stick with the decision to keep boobs and buds apart.
 **LOL- my son and husband wished I would have went with that mag, * I get copies of all the issues I am in.  
We all learn, (some sooner than later) we all make mistakes.  I chose to go in a different direction.   Time to draw.

I have nothing against boobs (duh!),
but I agree, there is no need for them to be exposed for me to learn or educate others about Cannabis as medicine!
There are enough serious reasons to pay attention to this topic - no need for additional distractions lol
Love your work - keep it up :)
