The above cartoon says it all for me. I have listened to so many people who are very sick and tell me their Dr. won't even consider cannabis. If you go prepared - I suggest you print out information and provide links, research and studies regarding Cannabis and how it can help your condition. ALSO print out a few side effects of pre-scribed medications - and why you DON'T want to take them.
I have been blessed - I have great Dr.s that clearly put the care of the patient and understanding concerns above their own. I can imagine (no, I know) how frustrating this is. Being forced to feel like a criminal and continue to break the law. If you are like us you will break the law because you KNOW what Cannabis is doing for you and you will probably continue to use it illegally - rather than to keep looking for another Dr. If that is the case I too understand. Especially when sick and tired of being sick and tired.. BUT if your Dr. says no then at least question it, you deserve a proper explanation from your "professional care giver" They also need to have something to think about. I am convinced change is in the air, the way only it will happen is to get everyone talking and thinking! Especially OUR Dr.s. I do ask that you do not disrespect them.. most have worked hard to get where they are and deserve to be there, and just like the MILLIONS of us have been mislead & misinformed. They cannot continue to deny the OBVIOUS facts.
* side note.. yesterday someone made a comment that honestly - hurt.
"Georgia Toons advertisements are cute and contain jokes, it goes over people's heads that they are truly ads for her website, and artwork that she sells. Just forget that she is allowed to advertise here." My cartoons advertisements?? To get people to come to my site to buy stuff? Goes over peoples heads?? It had me think -is that what people really feel I am doing?? Am I not permitted to try to earn an income like everyone else? What many do not realize is no one pays me for my Cannabis cartoons. I just started to get paid from one magazine I am in because he feels I deserve to get paid, but most do not. I am o.k. with that, it is more important to me that the message gets out. *I am very appreciative to those who do purchase my comic and the occasional item it shows me support and it is very rewarding for me to help my hubby with the bills from time to time. As MUCH as I LOVE what I do and WHO I do it for - it is work. It takes research, time & thought - to try to get a message out with one drawing - one that hopefully will appeal to others so that they might share. GET people thinking! Make them aware that there are many children as well that are benefiting from Cannabis use as well as the millions of adults. I am PASSIONATE about what I am doing. I was angry at the person who made that comment - he has since apologized. Anyhow, already this a.m. I woke up thought - he has made me a better person, I was more determined to draw.Then I logged onto FB and was overwhelmed with the support. I am ashamed that I doubted for even a split second. Rest assured I will not again. Faith restored - pencils sharpened Brush dipped! I have more cartoons to finish!XOX <><
