Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
Thinking about the EXPO and what a great weekend it was. We had Todd and his family treat us to the hard rock one night for diner and it was wonderful to hear more about what Todd is doing *( http://www.brmcrc.org ) as well as meet a man and his family - wife and daughters - who have been educated. My opinion of their understanding of Cannabis is - It is NO big deal. Hardly batted an eye. THAT is how is should be! If we educate our children from a young age - as we should on all things, Alcohol and tobacco (especially those that cause serious harm) and even on diet. Lets face it, I grew up in an age where you ate what was on your plate and welcome to the world of McD's and The Red Barn, A & W ! I lived across from a McD's in high school and that is what we ate - every day! In fairness to our parents - WE are NOW ALL -educated on health and obesity so - now hopefully people will actually think about introducing children to these places - As parents it is US who creates alcohol, poor diet and other nasty habits to our kids. I am guilty of it myself!
On the topic of kids- On the last day I saw quite a few kids, a few vendors had their children and I saw several parents bring the children - to which some were criticized! ?
FOR what? Disease, pain knows no age- so why not educated your kids in all things. IF there had been people walking around puffing joints all day - I'd say - perhaps not- A child does not choose to be in that situation. BUT that was not the case! There is a vapor lounge and you need your license to be in there, No children permitted. Other than that - I saw no reason - not to have children present - It's not a sex show THIS mentality is part of the problem. THERE are children who use Cannabis as medicine and why not educate them on that fact. When I heard that it was others in the industry that "criticized" these parents I was truly disappointed. This is the attitude that is keeping the ignorance alive.
Not quite sure I'd say 'add a kids corner' either - if you are bringing your children somewhere then they should be a part of it - not dropped off for a few hours in a corner.
At 14 - I WISH I would have had some place like the EXPO to take our son to be further educated on his medicine. Thank God - the times they are a chang'n!
Tomorrow I will tell you about a young man I met - Kid (16) Named 'Oscar'.
I have not stopped thinking about him since meeting him.
Everything for a reason ... xox <><
