Recently someone posted this and I thought whaaaaaaaa..? Yes, thats right! I had heard about this. Drink too much water and you could die. Smoke too much Cannabis and you won't die but hopefully you'll have a really good sleep. Read:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication
There is a joke - I've drawn it before (posted below) that many Cannabis users have tried. Suicided by cannabis - not happening.  Common sense. Where has it gone? How can we be throwing people in jail, taking their kids from them, ruining their lives, losing jobs for something that is less harmful than water. If cannabis were decriminalized and recognized for what it is - a plant. This planet would be a little more peaceful. How could it not??  Think about it. 

I hope this toon is shared as much if not more than my others. I have been reading how kids are having such a difficult time with cyber bullies, kids and adults. Not being able to escape now being harassed at home on their own PC. 
I have always loved the See no, Hear no, Speak no - sadly we have to add the Send no... I have these monkeys in my studio, painted over 4 years ago as my own reminder to try to only speak positive. 
Hard to do when confronted with 'challenges' that we are faced with daily - in the form of someone who pisses you off- LOL . But I am trying very hard and getting better. More than anything I am truly starting to despise gossip. I had someone start to tell me something about someone we both know -had said about me- I astonished myself when before she could continue I put up my hand and said "before you tell me what she has to gossip about me - stop and ask yourself what she is saying to someone about you."  That is the truth - look where it comes from! Chances are that person who always has something nasty to say about someone - will say it about you too when your back is turned. That sort of person  knows no other way to get attention. It is sad really - often jealousy is the reason or just anger. Angry with their own miserable lives that they see nothing wrong with constantly talking badly about others.  I have to say -  my friend looked at me and said "your right!"  The topic of conversation quickly changed to wonderful! I felt - TERRIFIC! I did not have to hear the vile spew and by not engaging in gossip I had an instant sense of relief! It does, it gets easier - just keep practicng like everything else. 

I was thinking today how much our lives have changed in the past few years. I would have to say we eat healthier, feel better generally - my mind especially. I really believe the media is responsible for the stoner thing - well them and stoners! LOL  The ones you see that show up at events stoned out of their mind walking around with a 10foot bong. (I'd much rather see a stoner walking around that a drunk.)  To each his own.  I can tell you that the more people I meet, the ones that are activists-  educated, compassionate - not all about posting "I'm so 'f*cking high" on their Fb page every 15 mins .. the other cannabis users and patients  - I find they eat healthier, they try to stay  positive and active and many - very impressively successful ;-))) . They generally seem to have a better outlook! Most of them meditate and all want a better world in general - open minds and hearts. Many not just cannabis activists but so much more - that I will save for another cartoon...  

Overdose:The term drug overdose (or simply overdose or OD) describes the ingestion or application of a drug or other substance in quantities greater than are recommended or generally practiced. An overdose may result in a toxic state or death.
I have had what you 'might' call a Cannabis overdose, Actually I had this 2 times in all my cannabis experience. The first many years ago in Jamaica when I ingested a cake that was made with Cannabis. I swear could feel the blood moving through my veins. The other about a year ago when I had a POWERFUL 'cookie". Both times I was not sick, I did not have to go to the hospital, I felt uncomfortable in the sense that I did not feel 'myself' 
Both times - I slept it off. Waking the next day to feel incredibly  rested.
I'm sure I just consumed too much. Still - Not toxic or near death! 
I asked recently if others experienced this and what they suggest we do to help 'bring us back' to feeling comfortable. Some of the suggestions I know do in fact work for me anyhow... brushing your teeth, drinking fruit juice, coffee. Going for a walk and getting some exercise- occupying your mind doing something you enjoy - and before you know it you will come out of that uncomfortable stage and feel relaxed and better. Always REMEMBER: No one has ever died from cannabis,  if anything it only lasts a couple of hours and you will be fine when it passes.  When I asked for suggestions I had a few say 'WHY? - Just ride it out and enjoy the full experience.' I like Cannabis to keep me functioning. I'm not into the couch lock-stoned feeling myself.  
Now... if you told me you took a pill overdoes. I would not be making any such suggestions! I would be on the phone with 911! 
I am not encouraging anyone to use Cannabis... No that's not right, I guess in fact I am. How can I not? I do hope I am in fact educating some to at least see if it is an option. I am not telling you to get it and use it illegally. THAT will never solve the problem. Insist, demand and be educated and provide research. If you are in pain- do your research!!! See if Cannabis is an option for your illness - Does it not make sense to try to get relief from something that won't kill you? Sadly with it being illegal you have to be careful - hard to try - to see if it helps you. Most people I know when faced with a situation where the are tired of feeling sick on pills.. find a way. The more people that inform & educate Dr.s the sooner this silly prohibition against one of natures medicines has to come to an end! 
You can not deny facts forever. Or LIVING Proof.
xox<><
If you use recreationally... then vote. Stand up for yourself. 

One Love. I have seen images like this and love them, more so the idea that they stand for.  If we could put it all aside and see each other for WHO we are. Not race, religion or class that we belong - yeah, yeah,  I know broken record... Oh well, If it has to be said a MILLION times every day - I will say it again- in HOPES that it will come true.  ONE LOVE! 

If vegetables could speak. 
This is a tricky toon.  In all honesty I have had this conversation recently. What if?  If you are having surgery anywhere I think at some point you ask- what if? I personally would want the plug pulled. I remember in college we watched "Who's Life is it Anyway?" With Richard Dryfus. Still an argument that continues today. People who do not want to continue life. People who are in agony every day and tired and CAN NOT be helped medically... a woman is fighting this now.  It is a difficult call but I feel it is her life and why not have the option to do it safely - she said she will do it regardless.  Should it not be an option?  Then  we have incredible people like Steven Hawkins  sets an example like no other-  We are blessed for him and his wonderful mind. He is only one of many that are dealt with situations that I can not even possibly imagine what their life must be like. No one can. UNLESS YOU LIVE IT.

 I know of an artist who blows my mind when I see his MOUTH painted art! 
In the movie Richard is an artist. Works with his hands and is paralyzed from the neck down.  IT is his life, he breaths art. I often think I'd go insane if I could not draw.  I guess you don't really think of these thing until you are in that situation.  If I was just going to lay there. Pull the plug.  

ANYWAY I don't now how my crazy brain thought of this cartoon, I was watching a monsanto Doc on PIGS!! Now it's pigs! That means no more bacon - or mass produced bacon.. Scary. Really! What will we be eating in the future! They said Agent orange was fine, Dr.s use to praise smoking tobacco after a long day.  I read an article watermelons were exploding from being a product of GMO. The GMO salmon are meaner and nastier!
Can you imagine the pigs!?   WE PUT this stuff in our bellies people! 
So before I published I realized this toon just might hurt some feelings. It is how I feel personally. Everyone should be able to make up their own mind, and  I was not thinking of human vegetables when drawing it really - I was thinking Tomatoes, Corn, Soy, Beans, Peas, Watermelons, Beets - EVERYTHING that grows-!  Say No to GMO.
xox <><
The Doc. if interested : patent for a pig !

Wow- who the F*&^ do they think they are they can patent one of God's creations and WHY do they THINK we will let them control our lives like that?

I was out the other day and I saw this woman staring at Storms hearing aids. I had to giggle to myself, my God - he will be 20 and I still feel like saying something to strangers!!  Once a mom always a mom- will it ever stop? How can it!? Does our love ever stop as our kids grow up? Mine has only grown. 
 I was recently removed from a group of FB that is dealing with parents who have children who ill and the parents using or considering cannabis. I thought I could assist from experience but seems like my child no longer a child in others eyes- I was removed. 
Actually I believe I was removed because I asked a few questions- that seems like I could get no reply... this bothered me.  IF you are a site claiming to help parent - parents who are using an illegal substance for their children - YOU better have answers!!! I don't claim to have the answers, but I would advise them to be very careful!  I saw a mom post she believes her TODDLER is autistic and wants to try cannabis? WTF? Does she not know for sure? Is she a Dr? Cannabis is medicine.  In our case our son suffer terrible daily chonic pain, Cashy - brain cancer, Haley - life threatening seisures - a decision not taken lightly by any parent I know. But to read-'I think' and 'I might try' Cannabis on my toddler! ?  COME ON!  Your child is never a prop to be used in a guessing game. Just like pills what affects us wtill affect them differently. Unless your child is seriously ill - you should not give them anything if you can help it. Who knows the long term affect of anything.
The toon speaks for itself. Happened way to many times than I care to remember but like most other things in life it taught me to be a better person and  now when I see a child - with obvious 'issues" I look directly at them in the eye and smile and usually say Hello Beautiful or Hello Handsome!  That's all.  A little silent prayer for mom or dad for strength.  
If you do stare be prepared for a glare! 
You deserve it. 
Don't see the illness see the beautiful little being before you. 
 This applies to adults too. 
A smile and Hello can go a long way to brighten someone's day!

Snoop Dog <NOW> Snoop Lion!  How cool! As we grow we change. My own cartoon strip changes all the time and I have decided always will. LIFE changes. I remember reading about Lynn Johnston (cartoonist, personal hero'ess' of mine, woman,  AMAZING GIFTED CARTOONIST and a Canadian)  let the dog Farley die in the strip  much to many disappointed fans. But as a cartoonist  -you draw what you love  I love my family, pets, friends, Cannabis, God, good, Buddha..  When my dog Hunny died I had a hard time drawing her after - still do and then just thought o.k. time to move on - move over, Move UP!  Be better. Why should artists be any different we have to do what we feel makes us better.  Every day we should all work at being better. Making this a better place.
Snoop has some people not so happy about his decision but any true fan knows Snoop is still Snoop!  I must say myself I know him lately more for him being the man he is than the artist.  I like how he was in the kitchen with Martha - Hee Hee Hee, I  bet they had fun. 
Snoop speaks his mind/stands up for his friends Willie & Cannabis and now is going to where he believes he needs to be. Snoop Lion!  I read  he feels he is Bob Marley re incarnated. There can never be another Bob BUT the thought of the TWO combined - Excites my ears!     
Today if you can hear. Be thankful!

I saw this cute stick figure drawing on line and was inspired to re-draw. I like the message.
My mind is full these days. Looking forward to meeting with the surgeon (although -no lies- a little nervous), and of course there is always other stuff.  LIFE. Up and DOWN
Last week Storms hearing aid broke - but when he told me, for once it did not stress us out as he had purchased  an extra years warranty at his last visit for  almost $400.oo!  So we thought- I was called this week (so much for client patient privledge also- Storm being the client who paid for everything himself - yet I was called) was informed - "oh, that was just for one hearing aid" ... clearly WE miss understood.
And when I called to question I was verbally yelled at, was told  (meaning Storm) "perhaps he should learn to read".  Adding insult to injury.  
Storm finally called him as he still had not bothered to call Storm - only to be just as offended by this "professional".  He also denied (lied) to Storm and said he did not yell at me or say anything. I was literally shaking after our phone conversation - which was in fact BULLYING on an adult level.  
I had to let it go I don't need the stress. BUT I can't not let it go . This man is in my community and most of his clients are older disabled clients.  IS this how he will treat them - when something is not explained clearly? Will he yell at them when they ask for an explanation?  I have many elderly friends in this community - many who I met through church and care for very much- the thought of one of them experiencing this - is concerning.   If one other person is spared this treatment - GOOD!  YES, I realize it is his word against mine. We have no reason to lie. It is the last thing we need to worry about. 
I was so upset I was going to post it on FB - but I have too many people - disabled that would be disgusted. 
That's it - we wrote it off. 
At least the seed has been planted - people made aware- they might not believe me - I don't care, HE will NOW have to PROVE otherwise - and EXPLAIN properly to patients,  provide CLEAR, professional paperwork and  God wiling - be a better person. 
Unfortunately Storm is out almost $400. and still has no hearing in the one ear. ;-(

Today I have spent time with the dogs, Daisy especially with a ball being forced into my ribs as I TRY to draw-  is teaching me to be mindful. The toon is with Tequila - as she is getting old she just likes to sit beside me and look. I look at her and I see Peace. I pat her and I feel peace.  I wish everyone could have a dog. 
I also better understand the phrase the more I know people (like this hearing aid guy) the more I like my dogs.

Now back to work on Snoop lion.

The way I see it is people are becoming educated with facts and real life experience. Hard to tell someone in College 'reefer madness' -Marijuana will fry your brains! - When professionals/parents & presidents admit to it. Science is showing Cannabis and how it eases chronic pain and helps with numerous other diseases. IT is much safer than Alcohol and less addictive or harmful than numerous other 'intoxicants' legal or illegal. The  NOW generation is far from stupid. 
I see Cannabis trials turning into compassion trials. 
Changes &  Challenges being made daily.
This Plant is not going away and I will tell you as a parent I would not be ashamed if my young adult told me of their use with cannabis - I'd much rather that then alcohol or chemicals.  I would be proud that they came to an educated decision.  Education is changing minds and bringing awareness.  Generations are seeing how it is helping older and younger patients alike.  If someone you love is using cannabis - put the negative stigma aside and thank God they have a safe option for helping ease their pain. That is all that should matter - ever. 

For everyone that embraces this plant - has educated themselves on this plant and all it's GOODness - medicinal, Hemp, Oil, Food, building material and MORE- That continue to fight for this plant and our rights as humans - It's time for a group hug! I know how frustrating it can be, feeling like your banging your head against a brick wall, wondering is anyone listening???
So today I thought,  let's take time for a group hug! Support each other, encourage and just celebrate the Plant! Thank each other!  I feel it in the air change is around the corner!!
But for just today- Enjoy Cannabis and all it does and for all of us, millions around the world.
NOW that is a GROUP HUG!!

If you are not aware, in Canada many patients can grow their own medicine. Not only is this  helping ease their pain mentally for many it is something they can still do physically, and also brings them peace mentally as it does with gardeners all around the world since the beginning of time.
NOW Health Canada says they will be taking away that right - and no one will be allowed to grow their own medicine - they will be once again have to rely on others - encouraging (once again) crime that comes with prohibition, growers who will not care and will only be looking out for money and themselves.  Many will no longer be able to afford their medicine. A PLANT.
Not to mention access medicine - the stain that best helps their symptoms.  THE reason Heatlh Canada and the Police say for this is SAFETY.  
To which I say .. BULLSHIT!
Put it into perspective... Are you worried you might have someone growing next to you? Chances are you have a much more serious SAFETY hazard living next door. Hoarding. We have all seen it - it was one reason I decided to get rid of cable! 
Hoarding is a disease. It is very sad, STUFF. Stuff everywhere, it robs people of their lives, consumes them- often add food and animals  to this disaster and the results are horrendous. 
"There is no question that the effects of hoarding are tragic: animals wallow in their own waste, are denied food and water for long periods of time, do not get necessary veterinary care, are sometimes crammed into cages and do not receive walks or regular exercise, all of which results in tremendous suffering and death. Hoarding is cruel, painful, and abhorrent."  <Taken from a animal shelter that deals with hoarding daily.

 Ask any repair man if he has been in a hoarder home?  If  Safety was an issue then  we should be helping hoarders first. They live in death traps. Rodents, bugs and fire hazards.  
I know a few myself.  Stuff that they never use, stuff in most cases - no one wants. After all that is what the government really wants us to do - buy stuff - not get healthy.  
So OPEN your eyes.  Before you get caught up in the Safety issues of grow rooms - just think about how common hoarding has become.
If I had my choice I'd live beside a grower before a hoarder.  
I'd much rather a little bud than a little bug  come my way... bed bugs.
* I am NOT talking about those that destroy homes by turning them into grow ops.
I do NOT agree with that either. But as for patients growing their own medicine 
 Let it Be.
We watched this documentary of hoarding - like no other I've seen. Well done and very interesting. Watch it and see what hoarding does to a family, to a life.
WARNING it is called +  7 dumpsters and a corpse  - we watched it on netflix.  No cable ;-)

"There is no question in my mind that the oral route for an anti-emetic, a pill, is the absolute worst route for the patient who has a lot of anticipatory nausea and vomiting. . . . The smoke route is in some ways ideal. Certainly when we want a drug to be absolutely sure, general anesthesia, we put it on the face, they breathe it across their lungs, it's in their bloodstream immediately."
 ~Dr. Steven Sallan

Nausea and vomiting, whether due to chemotherapy, AIDS treatment, abdominal surgery, or another cause, can be effectively remedied through the use of medical marijuana. Clinical trials and patients' experiences indicate that smoking medical marijuana can both relieve nausea and stimulate the appetites of patients with nausea, reducing the risk of unhealthy weight loss in patients with conditions like cancer and AIDS.

I can tell you first hand that Cannabis is helping me with this. When I got sick 3 years ago I lost so much so quick people did not recognize me, that was o.k. and I needed to lose some weight but there are times when you keep losing and it makes you weak. Still just the thought of food some times makes me sick. I could easily go without eating. I can only eat some days after I medicate.  I'm not a Dr., I don't know why it works- all I know is IT DOES! Thank God it does!   For people who are very sick -  just the thought of a pill and a mouthful of water can be a daunting task!  
So the next time you see someone light up - or someone makes a sarcastic remark...  let it go- It is NOT thier fault they have been lied to for decades. Just focus on WHAT is making you feel better. That is all that matters. Not what a stranger thinks, or family for that reason, it is your life and you deserve to feel better. What ever it takes. There is a reason Cannabis has BEEN used as a MEDICINE  for a very long time.. It works.

When I was drawing this toon I was going to compare the USA and Canada and a few other places especially the weight issues; Obesity is such a killer and our poor kids have no hope with fast food places springing up like  - FAST food places! While researching W.H.O "Obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally, with at least 2.8 million people dying each year as a result of being overweight or obese. Once associated with high-income countries, obesity is now also prevalent in low- and middle-income countries." 
 I also believed that Canada would be second behind the USA with the obesity
 - Sorry Canada... my bad! We are actually 11th. 'Whew!' 
The issue - who is the fattest- is NOT the issue. 
These things are killing us and yes they are all legal.. and we just keep buying into it.
So WHY do we do it? It's the normal way of life. Where can you go and not be tempted by any of the 3 or have them in your face all the time. Storm and I have had several conversation about fast food lately. I've not been feeling great and cooking not my favorite past time as it is but - every time I eat fast food lately (with the exception of Burger priest or Swiss Chalet ) I'm talking McD's or KFC> I feel sick.  So why - EASE and like the millions of you I was raised with this.  IT IS LACK of Education. 
TEACH your kids - if you do this now then chances are  they might just want to be the incredible beings they are meant to be!! BE honest!! SHOW them the facts. Teach by example. I read some kids only ever get French Fries as their vegetable. 
All things in life should be sampled if you are fortunate enough - but "super-size that and add gravy!" has to stop. 
I wrote 'in the USA' because those are the facts. Mexico a close second.. If Canada was the fattest it would say it in this cartoon.  Perhaps I should have said in the world but that is not true- too many people in the world have everything BUT Obesity to die from.

My wish for today is someone sees this cartoon and RE-thinks the next time they eat out, 
pours another or buys another pack of smokes. EVEN that tiny thought can be a start.

Time to break away from the "sheeple"  and do what is right.  Look after each other.
How about spending a little less money on sending people to prison and spending on educating our children - properly - truthfully on HEALTH. KARMA and compassion.
xox <>< 

Had to add this.. 
THIS IS GROSS. 
On several levels. Pollution, death, lung cancer.
When walking my dogs the other day on the edge of the Walmart parking lot this is what you see the entire path. 
THIS should be illegal.  
This was just a tiny bit of the way. 
IT IS like that the entire distance.
Disgusting. 

I have come to the conclusion this is the only way, re-educate and get rid of the reefer madness lies. The facts are there like a puzzle and you start to see why Cannabis is REALLY illegal and it is sad, very sad.  It is all about $$ much like everything else. The difference is - people are suffering physically and mentally. Patience, farmers, Dr.s - everyone!  Hopefully you can break the ice with a cartoon - Hopefully one of mine! ;-)
Start a conversation. Share some facts and if you don't know encourage people to research.
Statistics alone should be ending this war on Cannabis - How can a government tell us they are keeping it illegal for our best interest when 100's, 1000's are affected daily - by a much more harmful - many times deadly, LEGAL substance like Alcohol  - or tobacco!? 

It is not in our best interest - it is in theirs.
 Time to look after ourselves, look after each other and stand up for what is right.  
I posted this cartoon and saw that it was over 200 shares and I was crying.  I can't explain.
At least 200 people shared it and then hopefully from their friends more will share it - It will get people thinking and that has me FEELING FANTASTIC!   The day that I don't have to worry about my son being judged, discriminated, busted for his medicine - will be a very happy day in this moms life! 
Today I am NOT drawing a Legalize cartoon - I am drawing a DECRIMINALIZE cartoon. Time to put his plant where it belongs  back in the garden! 
Let the police do their jobs - arrest real criminals - you know the kind that HURT, steal, rape, murder...   not the ones growing plants.

I AM motivated, and becoming more fearless & FREE with every day that passes.. tears are over - I will be blogging about what has happened  because IT IS WRONG.  Ignorance is a BULLY and I refuse to be bullied. 

Today I am drawing! 
 Thanks for the e mails of support xox

Really - where does it get us? The worst possible case scenario IMO -  is DEATH.  So if it's not going to kill you - It may hurt but YOU learn from each hurt. You learn not to do it again & you become stronger and stand up for what you believe in.  My feeling can be hurt over and over - It won't kill me.  As a mater of fact - I may shed some tears, ask Why?
To LEARN. We are all her to learn and MAKE this world a better place. NOT judge - Too many are so quick to judge now a days - yet we all walk a fine line - WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES.  To pass judgement on someone that is using a medicine that is physically helping them so they do NOT suffer - be it a PLANT or a PILL is a crime.  I WILL NEVER wish what Storm has on a living sole ever - but I have to say - it has crossed my mind several times -  IF it was YOUR kid you would be singing a different tune/toon!  I find it hard to believe any parent under the same circumstances to want to give their child chemicals over a natural plant that is  helping them - once you do the research.  So - I do worry for a bit but my faith being strong - whatever problem sooner or later I say Is in God's hands. He has not failed me yet. Espeically not when I am defending the love of my family. I have been blessed with my guys, husband and son.  I like to think I am kind, helpful and caring but like anyone Don't F*&^% with my family.  Don't harm my guys and don't take food out of our mouths and we'll be fine.  
As for the world ending - I'm not going to worry. LOL - I believe the Myans were just making the date that Cannabis is finally legal! AMEN!
 Matthew 6:34
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
*I know many do not believe in the bible - I admit I do not take it literally, you can't - if so everyone that has ever eaten a lobster is going to hell.  - I feel it is a wonderful book to read and learn and if you believe it or NOT - It's true - why worry - tomorrow will be here and we take it one step at a time.  The bible - brings me comfort 
It soothes my soul and leads me to greener pastures!   Punn intended.

Almost at the end of the EXPO - this was it my weekend to spread the word! 
I was embarrassed at the beginning of the expo because I wrote on FB I am going to speak-  and people asked me - or commented - “Oh when are you speaking, near Jodie?” 
I was so embarrassed - I meant I was going to speak to anyone that would listen to me from my booth.  Get on stage with my face and twitch ? No thanks. 
Anyhow, I met so many amazing people and Sunday the best day yet! I was stewing in my booth  remembering a conversation (very short) I had had and was thinking and told myself - move on, remember why you are here- and I swear to you - these two Buddhists walked up to my booth! Sounds like the start of a bad joke... I speak to everyone - sure enough one likes cartoons and draws but is a Dr. so he does not get to draw  much anymore.   The english was a little difficult, but I believe if we want to we can communicate with anyone (I had a wonderful conversation with Lauren in the Vape lounge and don’t speak sign)  you just have to be open and patient. - I am so glad I was!!! So any how these two Buddhist - one is a Dr.,  the other a MONK! (former) We start Ommani - that is how it started! He noticed my necklace and asked me if I knew what it meant! HOW COOL! Compassion - it gave me the idea for Cultivating Compassion (former blog) I was telling them the mantras I listen to when I draw ;-))) 
 I was once again at peace!
 My mind again on track we laughed, exchanged cards, good vibes, they laughed at laughing Buddha! LOL! So glad he was with me. I remember thanking God for ‘that sign’ - how cool!!!  
This was the last day - it got really quiet and I prayed I had made a difference - this insanity and ignorance about Cannabis has to end - too many people are suffering because of it.
So, I thanked God and thought the show is almost over - anyone else I need to speak with best be soon...
 He sent me Moses! LOL - I was lying in bed when that toon popped in my head and I started to giggle - I have a head cold and have felt crappy pretty much all day
BUT I had to get up and draw! God sent me Moses ;-)))

I said I was going to talk and hoped someone would listen. I saw Moses standing over to the side and I realized who he was and I was instantly nervous! OMGOSH! That’s Moses! If you are not Canadian you might NOT know who Moses is `but I do! 
This was it! IF I had once chance to spread the word and there is MOSES! 
I’m giggling because I just started to walk over and grabbed him by the arm and pulled him into my booth! The man did not have a choice ;-) I STILL cannot believe I did it. Storm was so proud of me. Perhaps I was not meant to talk to a crowd ;-) I think I was able to do it because I saw (in my mind- not crazy) Michelle - I still miss her - she was a class act in my book. Her hair, red lips and smile always a hug and a genuine one at that. She sent Storm a goodie box when she found out he was legal!  She would want me to speak to her friend Moses!  I remembered the year they two of them walked around the expo arm and arm.  That was it! I’m not sure who exactly kicked me in the ass but I took that first step! That leap of faith-  I planted the seed about cannabis and kids in Moses mind - LOL - o.k. it’s probably already there - the man does everything, but I refreshed ;-).

We had a wonderful conversation I introduced him to Storm - OMGosh I think I forgot about  Marie-  I was shaking when he left. He was so soft spoken and I yell! LOL - Hearing impaired child,  I hope I didn’t frighten him. I was talking to a man that I admire- who makes a difference and has for a long time and I am reminded of the incredible difference one man can make! One man one woman!
Oh - Moses was just as peaceful as my Buddhist!  
HOLY COW!  LOL - I think I said that to them! ;-) We laughed a lot it was  so nice, so I guess I got a sign for sure! 
From Buddha and God!  HAVE FAITH!

It was wonderful. I am grinning from ear to ear. We are blessed.

Tommorrow I blog about "Oscar (not his real name as he is only 16) and wants Cannabis as his medicine. I was honored to meet him and his family too.
