One body.. one shot.

Alcohol.. is abused more than any other drug.. well sugar.  Don't get me started.
It will be, soon in Canada a & I am thrilled.  Provided people educate themselves.
There will always be some shady character  to buy drugs off- we can
t stop human trafficking- we will never stop drugs, why bother!
Spend the money on education & rehabilitation. xox

Please think about that drink. How many did you have tonight?
I read about a man (my heart breaks for him) who left his babies in the car on a hot day, went in and had a drink, then a nap and his babies died.  It read very sad for him.  ;(  
How many times around the world, every day does someone die because of alcohol?
Cheers. I know I 'piss people off' with this. Good.  
You should be having 2 days a week where you do NOT drink. Do you?
Storm clarified it nicely when he commented: a Rye & Coke = ethanol & fructose-glucose.
It is that simple..   Who wants to put that into their body? Mind? Poison 
**According to The Office of the Surgeon General, alcohol is used by more young people in the United States than tobacco or illicit drugs, resulting in a serious public health concern.
Alcohol can be lethal if the amount of alcohol reaches a concentration above 460 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood (0.46 g/dL). Death from respiratory depression can occur with severe alcohol intoxication, and this can be hastened if alcohol is combined with CNS depressant medications.
Mixing alcohol with caffeine, either in premixed drinks or by adding liquor to energy drinks has become a common way for younger crowds to consumer alcohol. With this dangerous combination, drinkers may feel somewhat less intoxicated than if they had consumed alcohol alone. However, they are just as impaired and more likely to take risks. This drinking practice often takes place in and around college campuses.
Excessive use of alcohol can lead to alcoholism, or alcohol dependence. There are four cardinal symptoms in alcoholism: craving, loss of control, physical dependence, and tolerance. A clinician is able to diagnose alcoholism based upon a specific set of criteria published by the American Psychiatric Association and the World Health Organization.5

Alcohol is a poison - check  out this site for facts and what To Do and what NOT to Do - Yikes, I was doing ALL the WRONG stuff! Do not make drunks drink coffee, do not let them 'sleep it off'...

Please, think about what you put in your body and don't judge others...  been there done that,  help if you can, raise up.

Impaired driving...  don't do it.

Who is not in agreement?
What ever you do - 'IF' it impaired your ability to drive , DON'T DO IT. Simple.  
There are many  things that will and can impair your ability.  
I had a  'fender bender' - crashed into Norm - LOL!  He was in front of me and I looked down at the radio- had to find that perfect song for the long drive up North.. SMACK.
Luckily, no one was hurt- except my pride - hitting my own husband - I never will live it down.  Should all radios be removed from automobiles?
Do you know how many drivers get into accidents because they are eating?  
Should we close all drive through windows that offer take out?
The worst culprit for IMPAIRED driving is Alcohol.  It truly 'impairs your' ability IMO.
Cannabis will never surpass this IMO- most people I know who use cannabis - like to CHILL  or relax, unwind - not go for a drive.  Alcohol charges for impaired driving increase every year, as does alcohol abuse.
PUT me behind the wheel with anyone who  consumed a joint over a drink any day.
I KNOW the difference.  Shall we close all bars? BBQs and restaurants that serve alcohol? 

Lets not forget HOW many MILLIONS are currently IMPAIRED driving with pills in their system- Not just opiates, many medicines tell you: DO NOT OPERATE HEAVY MACHINERY while using this medication -  the average car weights:
Picture
So, while the press will soon have you terrified about all the POTential dangerous of cannabis patients on the road- do not fool yourself - because it could save your life., being educated on the subject.

DO not USE anything that could impair your ability to drive, stupid.  
I will call you stupid - because if you send that text while driving, YOU ARE.    
Is my own son stupid if he preforms this task?  You bet.
I know he is aware of the dangers associated with..   so many smart people behave so stupid when driving.
Unless using that phone to save someone's life - while driving- you are stupid and you are WORSE - IF you practice this behaviour with your children watching your every move.  
Maybe  parents need to look into the future for just a moment...  who will 'they blame' when their teen is in a car accident while impaired (in any way) driving?  
Sadly, probably themselves. 

Harsh, fine by me, especially IF it makes you for one second THINK about any of what I said.

I love my fellow humans.  
I love my own son more than most and he is on the road with you.

If you see anyone who is clearly IMPAIRED/distracted, texting and driving...
FOCUS and try to get safely away from them as soon as possible.
IF something impairs your ability to drive - Don't Do it.

It is that simple.
FOCUS

PLEASE make educated drivers - do not believe the lies & fear mongering regarding cannabis.

Don't Sweat the small stuff...

I’m exhausted. Feeling drained. Mental meltdown...  

I think about cannabis and my head hurts. LOL - *Only with regards to the absolute insanity that surrounds it all on the GRAND SCALE.  
Don’t sweat the small stuff. 
Plant a seed and go to jail.     LOL   How small can you get?

You cannot help but discover all sorts of things when you start to research Cannabis. 
A very interesting history based on lies. Of course, it involves money and corporations keeping it under control. Now that it has been exposed, what is the problem?
We are witnessing daily how it is helping save the lives of children around the world, 
trust me - I am paying very close attention, as should you.  It is helping ease suffering of millions around the world. Still we are faced with lies and excuses. 

To get material, I find I am faced daily with facts about death from drugs. 
NEVER cannabis!  Prescribed medications, use of them recreationally & PROPERLY, chemical cocktails are killing our elderly- and not gracefully!!!  Illegal pills, METH, Alcohol <we all know that. Tobacco, sugar, junk food.. it is just insane the things that are worse for you than cannabis.  How have we been so ‘duped’ for so long?

I think to myself lately, I want to pull a Bill Watterson so bad you have no idea. ;)
I’m done.. but I can’t.  
I see my son, I see him having a life because of a plant. I see him and I know when he is in pain, I know that for most of the time he can control it with a plant. That and rest, appear to be the simple recipe for Storm. He is tired of pain. 

I know so many that need it as their medicine, need it to help them move ON! 
MOVE PAST and KEEP going. I am one of them. 
It appears I have a movement disorder that just won’t quit. I have constant twitching, electrical zapping in my brain 24/7 with very short breaks in between & trigeminal neuralgia  thrown in about 7 times  day. 

Before I sat to ink this drawing I smoked a joint to calm it down,  it does not calm the movement as much as it calms my mind and allows me to think clearly. Ironically.  Amen.  

I have a meeting regarding some work with someone, and I think ‘I must have a bonk hit right before’. This is not to get high.  This is my life and I thank God for it - for every second that I remain here with my son and husband and dogs and you.

I do get great e mail from strangers all around the world from time to time, just when I feel I need it ;) We all need to be appreciated. Thank you.

But, I have to draw about more,  it is about so much more. 
Cannabis is just a distraction. One big PRANK, by big brother.

The Lies they tell, the money & time wasted on a failing DRUG war that will never be under control, the lives we don’t save.  Trafficking drugs or trafficking people... where the f*ck have our priorities gone and why are we letting this happen?  

SPEAK UP! Educate someone. Share something! Or don’t. 
Move out of my way. My head hurts and I’m losing my patience... until tomorrow.

A new day to get it right!
Draw! Have some fun! Play in the garden... grow.  
Don’t sweat the small stuff!

Before I am anything I am a mom. AND very proud of it. 
Storm was my gift the second my Dr. told me on my birthday I was pregnant.
I never forget He is the best gift I have ever been blessed with. 
The seed of Love  - For most of us it is a seed planted in love. 
No matter HOW you feel 5, 15, and 20 years later (and more!)  ;)

So A MOM first is what I am and I say to Storm all the time:  
PLEASE DONT DRINK and drive!!! We all say this to our young adults.
       We should be. We all need the reminder and Tis the season.
So many parents lose their children to alcohol and driving and let’s face it 

Tis The SEASON! CHEERS!!!  HO HO HOpe I don’t run into R.I.D.E.
                      ^ How many of us have said it and still do. ^

Don’t drive if you are taking OXY and you feel high.
Don’t drive if you are taking cold medicine! That stuff use to knock me on my ASS!
Don’t drive if you are sick and can’t focus and feel like shit!
Don’t drive IF you feel impaired in any way! 

I DONT Drive. - Which really sucks because Norm promised me a smart car for my 50th. But the last time I had the truck out I had an attack in a drive-through and felt really uncomfortable!! It is NOT worth it. Not just for me but for others. 

PLEASE do not drive if ‘impaired’.  *IMPAIRED = ON CELLPHONE!! 

ALL of these reasons kill more daily than a driver strictly on cannabis.
I have yet to read of a case. 
Cannabis for many - especially those in chronic pain helps them to Function & Focus- as does many medication for many people. I also know of a few that use it for anxiety of city driving! 

I believe a driver should be judged by his actions rather than his medicine. 
IT IS OUR OWN CHOICE to get behind a wheel. 
With our Canadian winters we have enough difficulty driving *like the 20 car pile up just this past week on the QEW. So please.. not even Cannabis. IF. 

xox LOVE a MOM.

Confused... not really, disgusted is more like it.

I drew this toon a few weeks ago but decided it was too sensitive to post. Thinking yesterday - it is too sensitive NOT to post. Like it or NOT it is the truth. I use to be confused. I am no longer confused only disgusted.  Not confused because I have been educating myself on the topic of Cannabis and its legal/illegal battle.
I see Cannabis for what it is (rather how the media presents it) - they show only the negative - stoners, rednecks and ignorant - like the young mom who is seen placing her infants head on a BONG.  That will be spread like wild fire- VERY WRONG - clearly she is a product of her raising and knows no better - Pay attention parents!  Cannabis is a HUGE distraction I believe. All this over a plant that has never killed anyone - Something smells skunky around here...

People need to know and realize the simple insanity of it all.
Yes we do have guns in Canada - but not legal like our friends in the U.S. 
I had company this past year who informed me - it is not uncommon for people in the theatre, mall, grocery store  all to have guns in the U.S.A.  I understand the right to protect yourself and your home. It is legal to purchase a gun and all the fixins that go with it - but does no one question ever??  There are far too many gun related deaths in the U.S.A - the worst - Children that come across a parents gun.  Who is to blame?  The television? Society?  As for drinking , how many people go to a bar after work for a few and then get behind the wheel and drive- You don't need me to tell you - TOO F*&^%$# MANY!  Sadly many walk away with a slap on the hand.  Both legal. 
YET - Here I am and a few other parents and seriously ill people who can't GROW a PLANT to ease their own child's pain. 
IT MAKES NO SENSE what so ever! It is a crime and a slap in the face compared to the other serious, deadly issues that face us all daily. 
We are Victims in the war/distraction on drugs.  Call it what it is.

Everyday you can read about drunk drivers, and that is usually just the stories where they have killed someone.  Many do not realize that even if no one is killed  the results from a impaired driving charge can be devastating - not to mention $$$$ - court, your record, insurance (that will not pay if you are impaired) shame and the tole it takes on a family. They happen every day, at all times of the day - I use to think; I don't like to be out on the roads late  for fear of impaired drivers - then I saw a lady on T.V who killed a little girl because she was impaired at 9:30 a.m.   I will admit when I was younger I did drive impaired and I have thanked God that I did not kill anyone or hurt myself. We hear about it all the time, we read about it all the time and we continue to do it all the time...  
 It is hard NOT to get caught up in the cannabis/alcohol comparison when you start to research all of this. If anything should be illegal it is alcohol.
Been there done that..  that is NOT going to happen.  
*NOW more proof: 
http://www.businessinsider.com/it-turns-out-that-smoking-marijuana-may-actually-make-you-a-better-driver-2011-12    
 proof that  *1 given the option people would rather get 'high" than drink alcohol. Why? Because they know Cannabis is safer. *2 Cannabis does make people more cautious drivers. Well with a couple of exceptions, I've noticed AGAIN its the person not the pot.  Aggressive, bad drivers - are still bad drivers. But I have been with many drivers that are 'high' medicated and noticed a sense of calm.  I can tell you about a year ago I was having a bad day and took a pain pill for my arthritis, 20 mins. later I was feeling so doped out I had to cancel plans because I knew I could not drive.   
I AM NOT saying to drive HIGH either. Different peole are effected  by Cannabis in different ways. IF you are not in control of your mind/body you should not get behind the wheel! Guess what makes people the second most dangerous drivers? - Prescribed medications, and then sleep  - being tired. 
Hmmm.. Cannabis once again seems to be less harmful that several other things. 
Also this was only once recent article on the driving thing.. want more proof  - start to research it - you will be amazed, confused and angry.
Drive Safe! Please do not drink and drive. xox <><
