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.

As you might be aware, I've been taking a break fro Cannabis cartoons - it is never far from my mind.  That is the problem, when it does enter my mind - be it the news or comment I've read elsewhere - it usually pisses me off to be blunt.
There is hint in the air -to be fair- the government or those in it, wish to treat Cannabis *which will eventually become legal in Canada much like the L.C.B.O.  
​* L.C.B.O.  For those that are not aware - In Canada- that is where we go but our booze.
Alcohol, You name it - it is there!  every kind of GIN, Whiskey, Tequila 'T-killya', Rye & wine- of every kind from every corner! Now they want to sell Cannabis too.
For one reason $$$ and to every patient who truly uses cannabis for what they NEED it for- it's a slap in the face. A slap I feel fresh every time I pick up the paper,  moms (dads) who fight still for very sick children - who Cannabis has PROVEN to help - you just kicked them in the gut.
The articles alone - I am so sick of the lack of respect - for anyone really - wording that makes me wonder what happened to 'professional journalism', which I have looked up to all my life (and wished I could be capable of- without grammar errors ;)) I do understand it tho.. its all to do just that. Piss us off. Hopefully  it gets people thinking which, I do like this particular journalist for. 

Let me tell you FIRST hand: We would have been LOST without the help of  'compassion clubs'.  That is who I am for!  Compassion Clubs.
When you find a club that is professional and cares- they take the initial time to explain,
teach- take one through the process, even shows one hoe to vaporize for example- and they do- wow! Stress can be lifted by those that KNOW best. Surrounded by it - made a profession from it.  My friend Neeve has been in the Cannabis industry in Toronto long before any of this was even a spark. Yes, I trust his opinion on what strain he thinks works best for what. Adam runs a club in Montreal that makes some od the best baked goods I've ever had. Yes, I trust his opinion before I trust the opinion of anyone at the L.C.B.O. 
YOU must find a club 'you feel good' about. You will be the ones dealing with them every time you need your medicine. 

God did put us on the right path back then!  We were blessed to have people who cared about this journey, about Storm and our family.
My Gosh! You have no idea.  I am forever grateful to them. Gabe, who I've not spoke with for years still holds a special place in my heart for the time he took and the degree that he helped us. Many are still friends today.

Doctors can't recommend a strain - they are NOT the cannabis exerts, they are 'health' experts.
For Journalists or anyone else to ASSume, compassion clubs are run by people who do not know what they are doing- that could be said for any business.
Find one that is working and frequent them. Let them prove themselves.
Below are three I know of, but I suggest you Google  'compassion club' - in your own area, home town. You might get closest city. Or ask people - it is more common then you realize. There are many cannabis friendly communities online.
I do not recommend buying from people online you do not know.
I do not recommend anyone online, I do not recommend any LP... yet.
CALM  is the club we first went to  in Toronto - what seems like a very long time ago, we have not been in years, again I stress - find one that suits you and your 'vibe' YOU must 'feel' comfortable.
Sante Cannabis Is in Montreal.  I had delt with them over the years - they had incredible baked goods, IMO.   ;) 
 The Medical Cannabis Dispensary_   is run by a woman I have come to know  and  think she is very helpful. They are in B.C.
The above are - If asked - I point in the direction, it's you own path.  

Phhhhhbt! If you think the drug stores are any different - they want the same thing the L.C.B.O. does - don't fool yourself $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

IF they do will they hand out free samples like they do at the L.C,B.O.?  
More on that soon...

I read a comment on FB Mandy McKnight made a while back and it stuck with me..  I'm not sure of Her exact words but it was something along the lines, IF Health Canada could not get it right - in HOW LONG???  -What makes them think the L.C.B.O. will be any different?
Compassion clubs started for a reason. 
Thank God.
