I had the pleasure on the weekend to draw for this lovely little lady ;-). I have been paying close attention ever since I read; Mykayla's mom decided to get her daughter a prescription for Cannabis to help her daughter who is suffering from Leukemia. I remember, I was pissed because someone said - "that didn't take her long" soon after learning her daughter had Leukemia .
Knowing what I know now, I would be in line the next hour.
I wrote about her before - when It started in the news people whould make - RUDE, un-educated comments regarding moms decision. But that is exactly what they are - and we must remember this, with decades of reefer madness pummeled into our brains.
No one, especially another parent - who understands the circumstance would dare to differ. Either way I would RESPECT their choice.
WHO is anyone to say what these parents should or should not do when it comes to the decision of their child? Most parents I know would die for their children (I know I would) and we want to do what we believe is best for them. Cannabis for seriously ill children in my opinion should be the first CHOICE! Especially, when we read kids are being prescribed OXY as young as 6.
Mykayla was on the television show Ricki Lake - you can watch it here:

It is about time that this is reaching main stream! The more people that know the more can help. What this little girl must endure - Cannabis I pray, will help her and make this experience as pleasant as it can possibly can be. There are too many children who are already going through treatment that makes them terribly ill.
Cannabis can make them feel normal. I know - and am amazed myself how it works for nausea! AND it makes them feel better!!!! There is nothing wrong with feeling good!
Pain - I see everyday living proof (thank God) on how amazing cannabis is for pain.
I see it to the point I sit here now defending a plant. ;-)
I am so proud of these parents and the many more that are starting to speak up and speak out! No one has the right to tell us how to care for our children or pump them with pills.
Dr.s, DO NOT know everything - they are learning also - I remember being a kid at the Dr.s looking at his huge crystal ashtray on his desk full of butts! That was then....
WE are all here to learn. No ONE is an exception.
Here is how they make Mykayla her medicine:

- perhaps you know someone who is dealing with the same thing.
SHARE! You could help save a life, ease pain and correct a HUGE injustice done to too many over this plant. Cannabis.
Please go show them some love and support if only in your mind! It is a start!
As you might guess I went through several emotions doing this drawing, I did allot of thinking about what they're actually dealing with daily, mentally, physically, financially.. it starts to feel like a HUGE weight on your back you have no idea.... then - click -
you look over into the eyes of your child and none of it matters. NONE.
You will give it all away to keep the love of your child.

Am I wrong?
The last thing these parents should be thinking about, is what anyone thinks about their daughter using Cannabis to treat her CANCER.
Walk in our shoes.
Watch how fast you will become educated on Cannabis.
Today my son is going to go have some fun in the snow! THAT IS AWESOME!!!
For the past 15 years from time to time (especially watching him when he was in so much pain) I thought he might never be here at 20 never mind enjoying his life!
Because that is what I was led to believe, that is what Dr.s expected.
Doctors don't always KNOW.

Sadly, we are haring about this more and every day - at the cost sometimes of a life.
Cannabis could be an entirely new start of communication between Dr.s and patients!
I feel it will.

Positive change! ;-)
Now if only we could get Health Canada to FOCUS on the patients real NEEDS.
Much love - I will spend the day reading and drawing.
