Wow, this cartoon smacked me right in the head ;-) Awesome.
It started with a joke from my best bud Cathy.♥ 
I was stressed wondering what to draw for 4/20?! 
The universal day of 
Celebration for Cannabis!!! 
A Plant.
Grown from a seed.
Made by *GOD.
(*original patent holder)


Medical, Recreational, Hemp, Food, Fuel.. 
It's the day and I want to say THANK YOU!  
                                       I have said it so many times, I thank God daily for this Plant! 
Give us this Day our daily Bud...  <3 Wow. YES,   I read recently  how powerful that prayer is;  Give us this dayour daily bread,  -not thanks for yesterday, or make sure I have it tomorrow. Give us THIS day.  Focus on today.
.. and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us,
 and that                 ^ ^        ^  That simply put means  ^    ^  ^             :
                                               PEACE, PEOPLE!  
Religion aside... who can argue with those lines?  How else are we going to get ahead, clearly WAR is not the answer! 
Thank you Marvin, now in my head for the rest of the day.
People all around the world who suffer over a plant. A plant less toxic than many others,  proven helpful to ease pain, yet illegal and lives destroyed because of it.    
WTF?   O.M.God.  How disappointing.  
A PLANT.  While others  rape, kill, abuse, terrorize, suffer & starve needlessly... 
enough with the bullshit distraction. 
FOCUS on the REAL problems at hand. 

Rise Up people! Speak up! <3   Celebrate this Plant! Let it be a symbol of change.
It all starts with a SEED!!!  Life.

So.. Yes!
     Give us this Day our daily bud, 
       and thank you Lord  for it!
I do! Everyday! Keeping the Love of my life happy - How could I not give thanks?
Celebrate 4/20, Spread Peace and Love !!! 
- there are already enough assholes doing the opposite;-)

About the Pope....
Last night we were discussing the Pope and Storm mentioned them smoking to vote, joking about them sitting in a room and saying 'blow it out the window!'  The toon was born.  
I'm not sure I'd have been able to draw Pope John Paul in the same situation,  I liked him.  The Pope is just a man. Clearly one who is capable of making some serious mistakes.  Of which I am so disgusted it has really had me thinking twice about attending church ever again; I go for the people, community and friends as well as I enjoy the message from time to time... I don't need to go to church to spend time with God.  I also have issues with Jesus  (I❤Jesus) and everything he stood for... about giving to the poor? Perhaps the pope does not have internet and is not aware of starving HUMANS all over the world as they eat off gold plates.... the riches organization in the world. Good luck finding a needle for that camel.

I am not his judge and to be honest with you, drawing this cartoon today I felt sorry for him. A man of God... do not suffer the children. Well, his judgment day is coming and I bet he is doing some serious thinking.  
I lost respect of the 'church' with this POPE.

BUT - It does not men I don't have hope in a POPE! A new Pope.
Someone commented "oh, they are all the same,  it's just an excuse -
  every priest is a peto- "
I said  "Stop right there stoner!"
I said this to  medical patient who hates to be thought of as a stoner. 
Point made. 
One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch baby..  I have known a few good priests who I still miss to this day. Father Yves and Father Hull - I think of them often and consider my life blessed because they were both in it.
Many men do good and many are NOT all about the bling. So, Let's hope when we see the smoke it will the to announce a new, caring, compassionate man - who truly wants to do Gods work and make this world  a better place.  
Just a man. 
Who works for God...  
so do I, just in a different department. ;-) 

I sent this toon  to a friend and his reply:  
"I wish they would smoke...it would probably make them more compassionate."

I was thinking exactly the same thing when I drew it.  

I think I will write to the new POPE to get his opinion on Cannabis ;-) 
You can do that I hear... I wonder if I can e mail him. 
I think it will be interesting if he is Black! I do not care what color he is as long as he is a good man with a good heart. From what I understand they are all very intelligent, well... appear to be.

This Pope resigning... may he rest in peace in hiding.

I hope I have not offended anyone, especially my women friends but this is a cartoon with a pope smoking cannabis. Not a real life situation where the pope did much worse.
