Merry & Medicated! That’s me! 
LOL  - Tis' the season to be crafting! Between Bumble, pallets, cookies, crafts & Christmas countdown begun I am experiencing a little more pain  than expected. LOL 

Thank God for Cannabis. 

I have been on a bit of a break from Cannabis cartoons - well not drawing them but researching and reading. It started to get to me. As the rest of the world acknowledges, admits to decades of lies and shows positive  research into Cannabis, Canada still claims it has no medicinal values and will get into the hands of kids everywhere. 
Lies and bullshit and you and I know it.  

Don’t believe me? Look at the facts now on statistics in Colorado. 
Kids who will get into drugs get into drugs. 
Most start with far more dangerous and addictive *PROVEN - I might add* Alcohol. 
I’ve said it all before.. I feel like ‘I’ve drawn it all’ before and YES, we still live it. 

How many people have died or have gotten much worse in the short time we have been introduced to the Cannabis community.. for me - I’m aware of the children in Canada and the USA, all dealing with serious issues (life and death in most cases), added debt, stress and added stress and bureaucratic bullshit.  Added unnecessary stress. 

OVER a plant!  It makes me literally sick to my stomach if I think about it long enough. 
Why I have stepped back and changed my direction of focus. 
I don’t want to be next on that list.   

It does not mean I am NOT thinking and drawing.. 
For Now.. Let’s BE Merry! 
I am - Im going to go decorate the living room! 
I am remembering the reason for the season, making a hot tea with medicated honey! 
Yes, my hands hurt. My twitch never stops but I am blessed and I know it. 

As long as we can - there is no excuse not to. 

Merry & Medicated! 
My wish for everyone this season! 
xoxo Have faith!

I just want to let you know that I understand. What you do is truly inspiring. I know that it can be frustrating in many ways to continually strive to get the message out there and feel that you are not being listened to. My wife has several problems that keep her from being able to get out in the world and help with providing for our family. It is frustrating to her that when she is trying her best to make a little income from her crafts, and no one is buying. It is even more frustrating to her when she is trying to explain to people that she is disabled and they do not believe her. She looks "normal" on the outside. It's in the inside that she is "not right"! I try to encourage her as best as I can, but it can be difficult when she has been on the phone with an individual or government organization trying to get us some help financially. There are so many forms that MUST be filled out and sent in or returned. It seems as if those that are in a position to help don't really want to because it is not convenient for them. Our governments, yours and ours, are having a hard time believing us, the people of our countries, that we do need help and that we do know what we are talking about. Hopefully, one day REAL soon, we will be able to get what we need and do what is best for us, rather than what is "thought" is what we need.
Keep up the good work and the inspiration. Do take time for yourself so that you will always be a POSITIVE VOICE and FORCE in getting that which truly is a blessing as it was meant to be by HIM.
