The GLOBAL GAG RULE... people are actually dying because of this, the POOR, struggling, women, sick,  & FACT: MORE UNWANTED CHILDREN WILL BE BORN TO STARVE.
​Donald Trump & his groupies are a bunch of compassionate less, women degrading, racist. (sorry Chuck) Every time I read about this man - I shake my head and feel sorry for my American friends...  women especially.
​  
-With this GlobalGAGRULE he has tied the hands of women all around the world from being in control of their own bodies, no longer able to access information and help.
-With this GlobalGAGRULE TRUMP gags women all around the world from asking of help- GAGS Dr.s and aid from speaking about abortion- forcing women once again  to choose unsafe alternatives.

Do you understand what the Global Gag Rule is?
Please Educate yourself on - Google:  Global GAG RULE.
If you think it does not effect us ALL, you are mistaken.  IT HURTS ALL WOMEN.
​We all live on the planet together.

​EVEN IF you are against abortion (not your body - none of your business)

Ha ha ha ha! I cracked up at 5 a.m. drawing this.  

Thank you God for another day & idea.. hee hee hee  
I know you've got my back.

Cannabis is medicine.
This is me HIGH at 5a.m.   Thanking God.

Wait until you see tomorrows painting...

 LOL!  

ANOTHER VALENTINE coloring card too! 
Stay Tooned...

I might send this to my pal Jerry.  Check out his work and his DAUGHTER!
Tiny little glass genius.
I have one I'm giving  to Martin  that will give him a giggle. He's a fan of cartoons.
It was after all inspired by my little 'desk ROOR'.

Thank you!
For every single person who has shared, reposted, talked about (good & bad), glanced at, printed, mailed & e mailed any of my drawings. Thank you.  Each time - bringing ALL of US one step closer to ending the negative stigma attached to cannabis as a medicine.

I started drawing to educate 10 years ago- when at 14 Storm had his first bong hit and his pain was no longer controlling him- he became master & controller of it. No more tylenol, codine or morphine to constantly consider. I thank God & the universe for the cannabis plant daily!

Inspired by love & we did not want parents who were already dealing with a sick child  have to deal with some of the 'BULLSHIT' we had to.  As well as be informed it was in FACT helping with chronic bone pain, that NOTHING was able to do as well & keep our son happy & healhty & active.  We decided to share, because of the loss of judgemental family & friends to the constant questions and concerns raised by othes - including myself at times, AND the politics of it all.  Health Canada Horror stories & fear mongering rampant in our own country, never mind any place else in the past 10 years -Good riddance, to a hateful, harmful government here in Canada.  Welcome Justin, who will legalize. be patient people.

Cananbis has introduced us to a new world, literally, one filled with compassonate & understanding people,  ready to be laughed at and shunned for thier love of a plant.  People who refuse to sit back and watch all day- instead, they draw, talk, protest, bake, blog, bulldoze & blunder thier way through to make a differnence, and they do.  
I am very thankful for them.

We have also met a few 'heavy hitters' in this industry and I am thankful for them, they fight the legal battles and go to bat for the millions who cannot due to lack of  health or finance. Many have been fighting for years and yes- it too can take a toll on thier health. 
We've made many friends ;) thank you...  all around the world!  Thank You!
Friends who showed us the ropes, taught us a few tricks, took us under their wings and more. Thank You.  
A enemy or two had been made a long the way I've no doubts. YOU will never please everyone & I am grateful for them as well - they teach the the most dificult lessons - each time helping make me stronger in the process.  More determined.

Every person who has taken the time to read  this blog and ignored my continued spelling & grammar errors!  I know how difficult it is for many, there too should be a lesson, if you are judge'n me bi my spellin, with out understanding - you have too much time on your hands.
& just like judging someone for wanting to choose cannabis over  pills - we are no better.
I try to only judge 'myself' at the end of  each day. That alone is enough. 

Thank you.

Time to Draw

                                                     We can Do it! We CANnabis!  
Cannabis is gaining momentum in Canada & the United States of America!
Legalization in the spring in Canada- that's months away- you will see a change!
Less alcohol consumption (I hope), less smoking tobacco, happier & healthier people!
Less pain, more relaxing more focus too!  Safer - educated options!!
No more vulnerable young women having to visit shady drug dealers when they can get it at a local dispensary! AMEN
Ideally I would want decriminialization- it was not happening  - it still might! & SHOULD This is GOOD! This is fewer people being punished over a plant!!!
​*SHE should be celebrated

For those that want it - they will take it!
Others will sit and watch TV., No one to blame but yourself. (<mom talk)  
I use cannabis all day to keep moving! To keep painting, gardening, cooking, dog walking...  
To keep from sitting and getting depressed.    Nope.  
Are you judging me?
Would you judge me if i told you I took my prescription all day that kept me moving, gardening, painting...  it's NO different at all.
* other than - I bet I have fewer harmful side effects. lol 

Medicate & paint * I am at peace.. a few nice breaks in between, chat with friends, play with the dogs.. dream of walking in caves.. today I imagined I could feel everything around me. My hands gently brushed across the sandy walls, images of lions- I wonder what they were thinking.  The awe in their minds as they transferred memory to walls- without the use of T.V., Photos or their iPad.  With a 'burnt stick' no less.  Remarkable. 
Talk about positive thinking,   I doubt you are allowed to touch the caves.
I might have to start with ' less popular cave art closer to home.  hee hee.

* It is the female plant CANNABIS < It's 'REAL' name which produces the bud!
God once again showing us the miracle in daily life - Look at it!
Every dispensary should have a plant for clients to see, feel, smell & appreciate.
It is time to CELEBRATE!!!   
WE CANnabis! 

YOU have done this. Every time you talked about canabis you helped bring about awareness.  Thank you. Everyone who worked to bring awareness as cannabis medicine for children thank you... and for those who STILL are & will continue to do so for a few years yet,  because of corrupt laws - that you.

Have faith

Tell me the world is NOT watching this.  I can't believe what I am seeing with the North Dakota pipeline Violence.  History repeating itself... the ones with the bigger guns wins.
Or bullies moving in and taking whatever the fuck they want.
Bullies with BUCKS!!  $$$$$$$$$$$$
I don't understand why all AMERICANS, not just Indians are not ALL Standing with Standing Rock!?  Look at the devastation already with PIPELINE leaks all over the world already destroying  our water, wildlife and US!  Wake the fuck up. 

They are fighting for ALL of our clean drinking water.  Pipeline accidents happen and the results devastating,  the damage in most to all cases can never be properly cleaned/contained.  But this is not just the blockade.. it's the violence on peaceful protestors.  Rubber bullets -  God forgive them.  I had no idea the damage they did, so they don't kill- big deal! IT IS inhumane  treatment of others!  This pepper spray shit, Jeeze I can't help but want to see those spraying - sprayed...  and this is what happens.. anger is fuelled by both sides. In my case Anger against the American government who would let this happen. 
If you research treatment of American Indians in History- we don't need to - is anyone still oblivious to this past disgrace? Here it is repeating itself LIVE for the world to watch this time, and it does not look good America on you. It happens all the time, Native Americans in America are incarcerated/shot   on average more than most.. after the well known statistics of African American Abuse, that is.
This time the world IS watching.  
Yesterday ironically, as I painted I watched a documentary : Before the Flood
It was not pleasant.. it was the truth and very crucial RIGHT NOW!  Please watch and then lets see how you feel about this profit only pipeline!  I understand people are upset regarding work- it only brings them a couple of months work at best- (which I understand many people survive on ) but it will destroy the land they live on for the future generations to come - we have other resources that need to be focused on- EVEN I understand this!

I don't know what is going to happen, sadly I see this pipeline happening...
History repeating itself regardless how ugly it was the first time.

Canada has it's own Indigenous people shame we have to deal with & we are, I hope.
WE need to focus on our Tar sands ;(  How sad to see Canada ripped apart like you do in the documentary. ;(

Norm had no clue about the Dakota Pipeline protest, has not heard one thing these past days at work (he listens to the radio all the time), yet we hear about what some bullshit with Brad and Angelina on a plane.. bullshit.

I stand with Standing rock .

Wake the Fuck Up People.
Please.

I've recently learned about Ultra Health in the USA, through radio interviews, news clippings and the special on Weediquette * POT Powwow, which I highly recommend you watch so you understand what I'm blogging about. Ultra Healths CEO, Duke Rodriguez is one of the busiest gentlemen, literally a 'trail blazer' if you ask me (every pun intended) in the cannabis industry who appears from radio interviews to be having  difficulties with such ironies & issues as  limiting plant counts.  Who is this helping at this point - patients? Keeping prices at a premium?  I don't pretend to understand our own policies so I won't try to even grasp American 'pot politics'. One state it's legal with conditions, another medical, one illegal- YIKES!  Where do I plan my next vacation??  Albuquerque?

Duke was questioned for a recent music video that was filmed in the Ultra Health Grow facility, I read the article before viewing  the 'song and was horrified - thinking to myself... is there naked women rolling & bouncing in bud?  Scantily clad teens twerking while trimming?  I couldn't  imagine the Duke I know going that direction... there was nothing like that at all and to be completely level I enjoyed the video- it allowed me to see exactly where  this medicine is grown!  What a view.  Being a Canadian already preparing for winter - I think I might have even enjoyed it more than a local,  the tune truly 'catchy.  I didn't understand all the fuss - are there not more prevalent issues. Something about card delays for patients.. it reminded me of our own Health Canada and kitty littler distractions.  The only thing I knew about Albuquerque before witnessing that secnic video was; it is where Bugs Bunny should have taken that left turn.

What I have learned about Utra Health: They are trying to finally help the North American tribes in the process, Wow.   Helping, Lifting Up Higher...  so to speak.
Duke was interviewed: 
What drew you to working with Native American tribes?
We recognized from day one that if anybody's going to positively utilize cannabis in this country, it's native people. They have many competitive advantages—they own land, they have water and access to power, and they have a historical and cultural tie to cannabis and natural healing. They also have a distribution network—smoke shops, reservations, and casinos across the country. It's clear that cannabis will bring what casinos originally did for tribes to the next level. We started communicating with and educating tribes across the country. It's a long process.

We are all aware of the problems around the world with indigenous people; used and abused. Fact. To turn around a situation - where let's face it everyone is going to benefit- Native Indians in particular, as Duke states in the Pot powwow special  "We're not providing them with jobs, were providing them with a future".
I agree!  It's about time!!!  
I hope someone is paying attention and we can possibly plant the same seeds/ideas up here with our own indigenous people - Lord knows they deserve a break.
Watch the video, its an education.. the policy regarding 'pure blood'?  WTF?
Just one more way for  government to pass JUDGEMENT on people who have already been stripped of pretty much everything. Except their heritage.  
I do believe Ultra Health is providing more than cannabis - they are providing hope.

Ending on a positive note,  I communicated with Duke before I was aware of any  of this.. he contacted me requesting work - and like I do with many people, we exchanged several e mail,  joked around  & became friends.   ;)
I'm sure other days he thinks I'm  a never ending stream of questions and comments.    
How could I not be?? How exciting is this? 
I think it is some of the best news I've heard to date regarding growing cannabis!
The more I've learned more delighted  I am to call him my friend..  he has inspired a few drawings.  He also makes me smile.
​
I foresee some drawing work down the line...  
You never know what tomorrow will bring.  
​Look at the direction cannabis is going now!

I went to Scotland for a couple of hours and now I'm back at my desk! WHEW!!
Rob and I Skyped from Scotland & Canada (I got to squeeze in a quick hello to Ivan too!) - -this time in the Zen Kitty Cafe!!  We toured from the entrance to Robs office, checked out the pool table, jellies/sweets, rolling papers and more! Rob showed me the Spa - I let out a sigh just thinking of a good massage and then we sat in the cafe and chatted - I have to say it was a nice time &  a neat experience.

There is a wonderful feeling at the Zen kitty cafe, not just because I could sit and stare at my giant Logo on the wall- hee hee hee, but because I felt at peace,  surrounded by warmth, murals and comfort. We also have in common Cannabis, if you are surrounded by it you talk about it, Scotland has it's issues - they are all slightly the same  - Gov. wanting to control the amount of cannabis one uses and grows. A plant. Yet issues like human trafficking thrive.

The 'cannabus' was used to go on a tour!  Rob shared few vids of his kids - he explained the 'tribe' mentality over there - I got it.  It is different.  I shared what I was currently working on & it was nice to hear he thinks 'I've only scratched  the surface with my talent. He is a fan though, so I think he's a bit partial.  

Each time we hang out a world apart- I am reminded it was because of cannabis the belief this plant saves lives & it brings people together who are meant to be together.  
Just like mushrooms are the wiring under the surface.
I've made many good friends & contacts. I'm thankful and I'm making more.  
I doubt it will be this year I visit Europe,  I have other priorities now I have to focus on, Rob understands & encourages me happiness, that's what friends are for!  It was funny when Bird started flying around and Rob tried to call him..  ?  Poppy did  not even seem to notice but Scruffy did -she looked at the screen and wagged her tail.   'ScruffyOneEye'  is her new warrior name btw.

I spent the morning-  drawing a special birthday card & cards in general out with the birds in the early morning sun- my favourite time to 'jot & sketch', I felt very inspired.  There are some really positive things happening down in New Mexico with Cannabis from what I've been reading..  about time!   More on that soon. 

Ending on a positive note!  I received a box of art supplies today! Woo Hoo!  Thank YOU! 
You know what that means  - painting!  That is what Im about to do NOW...
​No drawings to share at the moment.  Just an IG photo below of when my supplies arrived.

Listening to a Scottish artist Gerry Rafferty to get me in the drawing  mood, I din't realize he was Scottish. What do you listen to when you create?  
Go listen..

Well, it's one thing to have people send you photos of your post card or original art that they have had frames .. its another thing when you see a BUS  - Not just any bus - but the Cannabus over in Scotland - completely  decorated with GeorgiaToons art work!  WOW!
I saw the photos yesterday morning when I logged onto my 'other page'- the one that still allows me to socialize and see posts from a few of my friends.  I knew the bus was coming along- I've been watching from the start - I had no idea it would be decorated with my art work.  I keep thinking of the many people that will see this bus- If I know Robert- that will be many. lol - He's a bit of a social butterfly - that guy- and we have never met in person,  but he has a piece of my heart, and knows it.  Robert also is well aware of cannabis - in every aspect - and is as passionate about it for a medicine for Children as I am. 

A cannabus - I wish my bags were packed and ready to board the bus! I wonder if Poppy can gather overseas papers in record time- i wonder how that does work.  lol
It's a seed I've planted in my own mind &  we will see how it grows.  For now I will live vicariously through my friend Robert- if he allows :) and travel with him on that bus  with my art  - that is the most amazing start!  Yes, when I saw the photos, I blushed!  Storm shakes his head- 'Why does stuff continually surprise you like that mom? Your work means much to many."   

My work has only ever meant most to me- when it has helped our son. 
The impact it appears to have made on others was all an added blessing I never expected.
I feel incredibly emotional over a bus today ;) who knew. 
Thank you Robert. Thank you everyone who  has a postcard  framed or even help on the fridge with a magnet. THANK YOU! 
Wow, now I'm teary..  lol   time to paint my squirrels- I'm feeling so loved.
​
OH, you might remember Robert  also  purchased 'ZenKitty' a couple of years ago - for his Zen Kitty Cafe in Scotland and  just purchased a NEW logo! I'M EXCITED for him and this new venture! It's top secret at the moment- as soon as it is a reality - i'll share with you.

I am very honoured and proud to have made such wonderful friends ALL around the world.
Because of Cannabis - who knew?
The Universe, God..  the world wide cannabis tribe  knows & has a plan for us and this plant still, I smell it in the air.  

Feeling blessed 
Believe 
​xox <>< 

I will add more photos as the Bus and  the journey continue.
