Weeeeee!   Who's excited about all the Gnome Grown Goodness coming to Canada this summer??  Me! Know why??      ...Because more people will get high!  
No, actually that is not the first reason for my excitement - it is because more people will Grow this Plant!  Some will grow one in a planted for the patio- just for fun & why not?
Geez - Calling all gardeners!!!  I know.. I've seen it grow and it is awesome- you know that feeling when you walk out in the morning sunshine and look at those tomatoes on the vine- - this is the same  and just and LOVELY- Oh and guess what - Birders!!!
HUMMING birds love it! Yeeeeee! Back to nature I'll be with this 'plant' and then - THEN 
The sigma will end.  The truth will be come common and cannabis will be added to salads and juiced too! Just like every God given herb on this planet- only this one will cost you.
So be it- if you wan the Variety- yes - I have been blessed - I have tried Cannabis from all around the world even  a few cannabis cup winners', above all else I am surrounded in this life by talented, passionate, hard working - GARDENERS.    

Me 53, cartooning Canadian - just like you in many ways.. not some swinging of the chandelier- running naked thought the snowy fields HIGH  ?  ALL this silliness will be put to an end.  

About the bat wielding lawyer... (still grindingly gears)  It's not that I don't have compassion for mental illness- ha- you know I do. I struggle with it myself  - who does not?  Really - maybe not now but usually everyone struggles for some reason or another at some point  during their lifetime.  Even after considered the bat kneecap thought- too many godfather movies growing up..  only days (hee hee - not hours) later, did I start to feel worse - worse because 'I' let 'some others' bad behaviour get to ME.. we all do. How many  take a bat & walk up to strangers and start to beat?  Cannabis or NOT - this person absolutely has a problem - more serious than cannabis - and now it's all anyone focuses on - THAT is the problem.    This judge has set the stage for a can of worms  - it's obvious.

So yes, I am truly excited for the 'normalization' of cannabis & I do not feel it will 'harm' the 'industry' in any way at all - if anything people will try home grown and then wish to explore with more. We can't grow in' the winter as easily here..  I doubt very many people will have elaborate home grows - not when they realize the amount of work and other costs.

Are you going to try to grow?  
Storm snapped the photo below of me the other day- this is a real plant.
It smells fruity, is lush - as big as my arm..  was so sticky , when he remove did my eyelashes and lips were stuck together.  Storm is passionate & has worked very hard to grow quality medicine (a decade already) especially now, he sees what's going on here, he understands how difficult this can be some days as well as his own  issues, tell me why I should NOT be proud -  MY son GROWS me/us the best medicine he possibly can..
​If you find any fault in the above  sentence in anyway, the problem is with you.
​Everything for a reason.. I've no doubts God has him on his path to do exactly what he does.

Michelle Rainey wanted Change... can you see her smiling?   I can.

It is a plant, it makes most of the world for a few centuries (at least)  feel good, intoxicated.. relaxed, happy, elated, enjoyable, rested... for ANYONE who has never tied- take it slow- no hurry.. it won't be going anywhere - if you think it might cause you to pick up a bat and go beat someone  -  seek professional help.     Here we grow....  

Have a good weekend! Some sunshine would be nice.

Once there was a Tinky Winky
Who had a little too much to Drinky 
& this effected how he Thinky.

Tinky Winky + thinky + Drinky =
Sinky.   (Into depression)

I doubt very much Tinky Winky would be dead
.. had he switched to JUST cannabis instead.

R.I.P Tinky Winky.  2018

Have I lied?  
I read this this morning and shook my head... not hit by a bus, not a heart attack.. he froze to death from being passed out DRUNK in a ditch. Is this the middle ages? How does this happen?   Alcohol IS a PROBLEM.  Alcohol kills and YET  our own canadian government is TREATING us & cannabis as IF we are still criminals-  Cannabis the the safer option.  Not allowing advertising- what about ALCOHOL Justin??? Alcohol, proven to have caused deaths many times over in many ways..  can advertise - is thought to be NORMAL - a way to make every celebration complete-  well here are the facts in YOUR face. 
It is an opportunity to teach all children the TRUTH:
​Tinky Winky had too much to drink and died.  
How f*cking sad.  Check out this list we can add Tinky to:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deaths_through_alcohol

I thought to myself this might make some people angry.. good. Are you angry with me?
How about you get angry with a government who continues to mislead it's people by promoting, and allowing the abuses of alcohol to continue at a profit - DO you know how much he LCBO in canada makes- IT is the biggest Monolopy in the world OUR booze sales earn our government billions FACT.  $22.1 billion last year alone.  Is there any wonder we see hyprocy when it comes o alcohol & cannabis- DO NOT stand for it.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/statscan-alcohol-sales-1.4095446

​I REFUSE to let anyone label me a criminal or "stoner" for my choosing cannabis - educate yourself on the facts & then lets continue the conversation - as legalization gets here- regarding advertising- theres going to be challenges  and cannabis will win. 
The Sun. The moon & the Truth - can not be hidden long.

Cananbis is much safer than Alcohol.
World wide Deaths from Cannabis alone:   0
World wide Deaths from Alcohol alone :  Too many to ever keep track of  & counting.

I do feel truly sad for the gentleman who played Tinky Winky , Simon Shelton.
What a sad, lonely way to go.  
Free at last.

Just playing with paint.     :)   & scissors.
Day dreaming about Elephants... wondering if I'll ever see one in the wild, probably not.
Especially not, not feeling confident for Elephants in the future  or any BIG beautiful Beasts with humans like this in charge:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-wildlife-protection-board-trophy-hunters-1.4578852?cmp=news-digests-canada-and-world-morning

I do not understand why the large majority of humans who do NOT agree with 'thrill killing'
cannot stop the few who do.  I understand less how the majority of humans can't seem to change the rules - which are harming innocent others.  Gun violence, drug wars, violence against each other & child abuse... animal abuse.

Back to day dreaming & painting.

Have you seen the new logo the Ontario Government has chosen for the
Ontario Cannabis Store?   Could you get any more  BORING,  Eh?  
It is unbelievable the mentality surrounding these decisions - not only is it boring but here we go again Canadians (Ontario) are missing a serious opportunity to do this RIGHT.
Educate, embrace and provide a interesting, relatable & classy logo for merchandise  - since when is this not a business opportunity??  
What tourist will spend any money on that boring logo??
It reminds me of a electrical company- a boring one at that.
​
I did my own logo  (my first try) & it's much better than the other if I do say so myself -
& Guess what!!?
It WOULD NOT have cost >>>> $650,000.00  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Heck, I would gladly sell it to the Government at 1/2 the price!!  $300,ooo.oo just to save the tax payers some money- so they might have some money to spend on cannabis.

Who's going to buy it there when you can go to a creative option either in person or online? With atmosphere, personality and is not STILL attaching a NEGATIVE stigma on cannabis.  This bull around no logo - is exactly that.  When I think of how amazing some of the places I've seen have been...   sigh. 

It must be nice...  I should have known they would NOT have opened it up to the public to enter to design the logo.  Did this company know  anything at all about  cannabis- it does not reflect in their work- lol - as a matter of fact- I don't think it was such a wise move on their part- yeah I guess so for the $$$ but if this is a sampling of their 'marketing' it leaves - much to the imagination, I would hire someone else in the future.  
 
       $650,000.oo of OUR tax paying dollars went into designing' that logo.

How does it reflect the plant, the medicine or Ontario for that matter?
Will you go to the OCS for your cannabis?
If this is any indication of what's to follow...    more boring.
I'll pass.

One more reason to support individually owned dispensaries - places who actually care for us and our cannabis.

Tomorrow, I'm 54 and 1/2 of me is thrilled.. the other 1/2 not so much.
Birthdays..  our yearly reminded along with New Years Day - for a 'fresh start'- a new year begins!

1/2 of me is thrilled, 54, doing what I love everyday (I am also at a point - able to sell my art when I choose), playing with my dogs, enjoying life,  lunch with friends, better off financially then we've ever been.. have people asking if I'd like to collaborate on a few projects, planning a garden, planning a trip - Money for paint!  Consuming some of the best cannabis on the planet...  Medicating with natural medicine - finally.
1/2 of me is in good physical shape.  Life at 54 is pretty darn sweet!

Then there's the other 1/2,  the past month especially, I feel as though I've suffered a stroke every day, from the top of my head down to my hips aches, my hand - peeling a banana , buttons on a shirt, pulling up  pants - all tasks I dread.  The  TN, is constant, several  attacks an hour & the Hemi facial spasm - every few moments, seconds. Walking, triggers it therefore I'm also constantly having to focus on my balance, some can't chew gum & walk at the same time so - I feel quite accomplished some days.  
I now also look like a stroke victim, all the time...  some think  it's Bells palsy as my face when not contracting droops noticeably when at 'rest'  and I don't like to smile-  it triggers the pain and I need the rest.    I'm also very tired & it has progressed down my entire right side, my right side is covered in spots & patches of psoriasis from head to toe, my entire kneecap felt like it was broken this a.m. it is covered in psoriasis, I am anticipating a new cream to try (medicated with cannabis) being sent from a friend. 
 
I look miserable - I can't help it! I'm becoming more and more of a recluse - due to   unfortunate encounters with other humans who do not understand, like my last retail experience. It wears me down... just when I think I have the courage to venture out, someone reminds me  of how many  thoughtless humans there are out there, cold & some intentionally cruel to boot.

I was shocked to hear George Clooney of all people talk about  how bad it was for him when  he had Bell's Palsey- I knew he could relate & that was just from LOOKING the way he did- he was not experiencing the rest, thank God. I was grateful he brought attention to it- I hope  some women in particular are paying attention to me.  It is increasing amongst women- over 50, I'm thrilled to hear Tweed is educating on it- clearly they recognize the growing problem.  I do not have bell's palsy-  Neurologist ruled it out, I have wished it was all I had.. look at images of people on Google- they look miserable - it's why we  stop going out- people look at us and JUDGE & IT HURTS over & OVER again. 

So no, I'm not happy about another birthday, another year of THIS, fucking thing that has me crying just from the sheer fucking exhaustion of living with it!!!
Throw in a few thoughtless people, not to mention people who intentionally fuck with others who are already struggling (says much more about you than it does me)  
I'll pass thanks. I'm not going out for lunch or dinner- why set myself up on my birthday?
I'll spend the day like any other - painting.  

Below is me...  I'm tired of 'hiding' because others can't grasp or deal with things.
Are you taking your smile for granted? Seriously, ask yourself this right now.
Are you taking your health for granted? Your smile?
Are you letting stuff/others STRESS you out?
IT's NOT worth it.

Now, I'm going to paint Michelangelo & a rabbit with very special eggs..  cause if I don't I will just go to to bed and CRY all fucking day. It's not about pity- that I don't need and if you show it- I'll show you the door - who has time for that shit- it's about EDUCATION.  
 At times I often feel as though  my art is not making a difference - that hurts even more.  I do't know what to do about it, not much I can do.  All artists deal with this to some level.
I cry because I am exhausted, worn down, getting zapped countless times a day and feel very much alone at times & I even  wonder why I keep trying.
My son & my dogs & several other humans remind me why.
​
Are you paying attention to what YOU put in YOUR body - can you understand MY FEAR of prescribed medication?  Pills known to cause such side effects?

When I really thought about our government paying for all kids prescriptions now- it breaks my heart. Thanks Kathleen for turing our future into drug addicts.  How many will put their kids on medications simply because they can afford it 'now'? I'm curious to read the studies in 5 years from now - how many children are put on antidepressants - for free-  what do you think? How many increased prescriptions will be filled for Children- parents making decisions to put chemicals in tiny bodies - and we don't know how it will effect them in 5, 10 or when they are 54 years old.    Education.  

Our kids would have been better off if we had given them free school supplies- how about Free breakfast to start the day?  Many need that NOW- before they get sick and need free pills.   Pay our teachers more?   No- instead we give them free drugs.  The legal kind.

With TLC & THC - Thank God - I do not think I would be able to continue on without it.

For all of you who wonder why I paint all the time.. I have to.  
This is enough to drive anyone mad... I have to keep creative & hopeful.
I can't give up - it's all I can do.

Books find me.  Want to read a new book... there only a million to choose from, by the time you find one after reading through all the selections - so I let books find me.
People gift me books so theres no lack of any selection. Usually there are 3 books (at least) 'on the Go'  - Fact, Fiction and Inspirational. 

This last book I watched Oprah mention on isntagram and I had just been thinking, Im ready for a new book. Talk about a book finding me.  I knew only what Oprah said, not one thing more- I asked to have it picked up that day from Costco.  If not having to break for painting, dogs, dinner - the book would have been completed in a weekend I enjoyed it that much.  Not only is the main character an artist- she makes dolls her name is Celestial but her husband calls her Georgia. Roy starts letter to celestial- asking 'can I still call you Georgia?'.  

It was an awakening. I know about incarceration in the USA and how unfair it is to black Americans,  I've read statistics but this book  helped me understand on a completely different level.  Filled with emotion, it's about determination and the promise of love and marriage, An American Marriage - it all sound like it's 'too familiar'  - and it is for these people intros book.  Here sits a white middle class woman who will never experience what they have., yet each taught me what it is like.  It is wrong, to have to life your life with the constant 'fear  your life could change in an instant- many lives effected and for what- wrongful imprisonment because of the color of ones  skin.  Will this ever change?
I hope so.

I found myself constantly thinking what's she going to do now?
I'm grateful for the new perspective - it found me.  How it ends, how she feels are exactly how I'm feeling at this stage.   I would recommend this book and I will look into others by the author Tayari Jones, the book flowed effortlessly. I also am a snail mail fan - so  I loved the idea most of the book is in form of letters.

Reminded of another Georgia (Willie started singing Georgia as I typed this blog) who is strong & full of love and determined to do the best she can.   Amen.
Her faith in God. Perfect.

My name has been mentioned in books, movies and documentaries so much recently- and in very meaningful ways- it made me actually feel slightly 'weirded out'... 
I asked God: Are you trying to tell me something?  Am I dying?  

Nope.

Not yet.  I just renewed my www for 2 more years!    lol
READ! Explore, learn about love & marriage & being black in America.

Storm after warning. "Mom are you ready for this one?" read an article to me this morning  this is it Please read it:  * NOTE it's been changed
https://www.yorkregion.com/community-story/8139170-in-the-weed-york-region-catholic-students-talk-marijuana-with-experts/  I was shocked -after all the title
IN THE WEED: York Region Catholic students talk marijuana with experts.      
EXPERTS?  Who? Where? Because when you read the article - you don't read EXPERT opinions backed with facts- more like personal opinions from a Paid Police

I then read it again (incredibly disappointed) I don't even know where to begin...  
York Region is where we live,  Aurora is not far, my mom lives there. I was trying to think after reading the article have I ever had a bad experience with an officer. No, quite the opposite. When we first moved here there was a police officer - he looked like Richard Gere ('I like white hair,  it makes men look - so .. distinguished, imo) every time I saw him - frequently - my street is great for catching stop sign runners- I'd yell 'Hi Richard!'  ;) hee hee.  We had a few conversations- he was told by several about his resemblance. I dated a york region police officer many moons ago... ;D I have some fond memories of wearing a police shirt.  I'm no saint & no sinner -  ;)  Remember when I had to pee!? & was caught speeding- only 3 minutes from home so he followed home, waited - when I returned to his car (after I relieve myself in my 'own bathroom'- not a fan of public washrooms)  he laughed and gave me a ticket- it was $2.00, I didn't realize it until I walked into he house. It was very funny..  Storm was in an accident one rainy morning after a foray and they were fantastic, beyond helpful- I was so happy he DID have a very positive experience with the police- for his first  serious altercation' one police officer gave him his business card and told him to call him and not to worry. I was very grateful- the charge was dropped. So, I have no issues with police - I like them.  

BUT... when  read about a 'professional making expert  remarks like:
'Doobies make Boobies ' I wanted to SCREAM! What a ignorant remark to make- PROVE IT.
Did they provide any material for the kids to take home to discuss with parents? Was there an actual LINK to the fact that it's proven Cannabis increases breast size- in boys or girls? How irresponsible?  Any way for parents or kids to CHECK the facts the police officers shared with hem.  Unless it is a documented, scientific fact it's no more than a  Personal opinion  by a paid professionals IN a police uniform.      
Expert' advice.. & Does he not realize how many young ladies can't wait to get their breasts? I was one of them.  Could a 'breast growth' in boys be related to the wide variety of JUNK food teens are famous for  consuming at this age? Possibly!!??  IT is FEAR MONGERING UN- healthy & is 'misleading to kids- smart kids- who KNOW the truth so what does this TEACH them??:

                       LESS TRUST IN THE LOCAL POLICE
​                                 Would you TRUST someone you suspect is lying to you?

Storm and I laughed- really- at some of what we read. Who can't count backwards from 30 high? Oh my Gosh- This is NOT Like being DRUNK - which is worse. Oh about that FUCKING LINE - DID a Professional Police officer actually remark:
A: MACRAE: If you’re at home, and your parents serve you alcohol, it’s OK, but you won’t be able to do that with marijuana. 
Wow.. I wonder if he knows any statistics on actual impaired driving and teens...
and the seriousness of alcohol related deaths, alcohol date rapes, alcohol abuse..  etc. but hey 'it's o.k. if your parents give you alcohol' - but not a joint WTF? 
Was this  EDUCATIONAL lesson on cannanbis recorded by anyone? 
Please DO.   ***STUDENTS***  take charge of your life, the last thing you need is a 'charge' for anything you do not deserve.  You have the right -HUMAN right & the school is responsible for your education and should also make sure info provided is correct- it was so incorrect they CHANGED the story in the paper... I said to Storm -  by the grace of God this a.m. I copied the entire story as soon as I read it so I could make notes and scribble on my print out I know what was removed and why...  BULLSHIT.  
This remark was changed:   Why?  Q: What’s more dangerous — driving under the influence of marijuana or alcohol?
A: COLE: Studies have shown half a joint is equivalent to seven alcoholic beverages. You will not be able to walk a straight line; you will not be able to touch your finger to your nose. It’s incredible how much marijuana — and all drugs — impact your ability to operate a motor vehicle.
 1/2 a joint = 7 alcoholic beverages??
PROVE IT!  If not- You should NOT be telling  a room full of students such information!

This is WRONG... and it's NOT how this should start off.
This is not the USA- we DO not need to LIE or  fear monger our children, Canada is one of the smartest countries & happiest in the world- please let's not start in this direction.
 
​IF they have money to EDUCATE their officers- They should be expected to do it RIGHT,  teach compassion and remind them Cannabis is LEGAL (very soon) It IS just a PLANT, kids need educating not misled, they would have been better at educating 'what to do in a a shooting' where kids actually DIE- no?  
​All good relationships are based on TRUST. It sounds like they if anyone makes this a 'FREE for all' -  it will be the police  from the direction of the 'Educational' talk.

Please demand an accurate, fact based education- or we are not doing our kids any favours.

A Unicorn! ha ha ha - I am not fond of unicorns!  This unicorn craze- I don't get it as much as I do the mermaid.  Horse craze yep.. but unicorns?  A horse with a horn. 
I have a head cold, just started.. but rather than sloth around  I still wanted to paint but with a headache - it's bit more of a chore.  A blank sheet sat before me and then this unicorn appeared so I just kept going.  I find it rather amusing and of course I ended the painting by having my Unicorn exclaim "Fuck Yes!"
If your going to Believe in Unicorns then OWN it! Right? 

It's back to bed for me- its only 9.a.m.   this will be my day.
I have a new painting on my desk - I enjoyed painting Jesus in the garden so  I am doing it again.

Some might notice, I've been quiet on what's happening with cannabis in Canada -  we are reading it might not be July 1st, so what - it will be soon enough after - STOP feeding into the hype,  there's no stopping the legalization train now! Promises have been made more importantly (sadly) money is being invested. I'm not about to contribute to any fear mongering  with saying 'it might not happen'- because IT will... as for growing - that too is a HUMAN right.  Choice.  
I am paying attention, reading of all the mergers' - some I've been disappointed, some not shocked at all, some I see  & know it is only about money... It makes me feel drained for lack of a better word... no wonder I'm painting Jesus in the garden.

I have questions - I'm sure many do, stuff that  runs around my mind about these 'mega giant grows' especially in places like Arizona & California, New Mexico,  is anyone asking 'Where will they get their water for all theses giant cannabis grows?  I've been to California- it was DRY, Hmmm   IS anyone aware of Cape Town Africa? & what is happening RIGHT NOW?!   How will they water these plants- as a Canadian- It DOES worry me.  
It should worry you... your children & your childrens children will not see cannabis as important as WATER.  It does not take a genius or scientist to figure this out- read & educate yourself. 

I have some shatter'  Storm provided - it is pretty- it looks like tiny golden diamonds- I'll think of it as Unicorn dust ;)  I need my own 'dabbing Rig' I guess I'll search online today. It's helping me get though this cold a little easier - especially with the headache.  I'm thankful for natures medicine provided by my own son- as the Unicorn would say:
Fuck Yes! 

Shatter is a type of cannabis concentrate, shatter specifically refers to a texture of concentrate that breaks and shatters like glass, rather than pulling like taffy. It is created by extracting the cannabinoids, terpenes, and other chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant usually from dried cannabis.

Back to Jesus in the garden & the last valentine DIY card - & GIFT DIY.
Check back soon!

Give thanks today for  something REALLY important- Water, with every sip- think:
​Thank You.

Nothing says loving like something homemade!  Crafts, cards - so why should cannabis be any better?  Giving someone a jar of your bed preserved home grown bud would be telling them you love them and then some!  You want them to be happy, relaxed.. inspired  - healthy.  Here is another VALENTINE card for you to make and give - the great thing is - you could give anything from bud,  candy, medicated cookie, shatter... diamonds -preyty much anything that will fit in a baggie'.

Below is the actual image you can download & print  OR make your own from scratch!
It's not as hard as it looks - the hardest part was the painting (easy for me), *thank you to my son for the cutting work.  I highly reccomend you glue your paper to thin cardboard or use a good quality 'card stock'- I buy my blank cards by the box (bulk lol) from DeSerres (Canadian craft supply store- free delivery & competitive prices)  Water color quality, complete with envelopes... so when ever I feel that need to create cards - it's there! I'm enjoying this card making session-  wait until you see the next.

Steps for the Mason Jar card:

-print out card on card stock or glue your print out to thin cardboard, empty cereal boxes work great for this.
-Carefully cut out inside of jar around edges *these steps are in the photos below.
Green slice Matt & cutter from dollarstore or staples.
-glue the cut out part of the card 'only the sweetest..'  to the inside  of the card- *make sure you place it so that you can see it  when the card is closed.
-place a small baggie and glue- tape (glue would not hold on its' own)  it as you see in the photo, both sides and the bottom, when the card is closed it should look like 'clear glass'.
-fill your card with TLC & THC!

Sign your card- date the back, put it in an envelope - pain on a few hearts to tie it all together, a bit of twine would take it up a notch ' Have fun!  Think Love.

 You can add cannabis/medicated for your adult friends/lover/mate  
NOT medicated for the kids. Please take care with delicious tasting goodies. 
The baggies could be filled with many creative ideas- I think it would make a nice packaging idea by the way for a dispensary,  I know many don't have the creative marketing budgets some of these big places have so get creative!   

*I purposely did not paint cannabis on this card - so a kids could make it for their friends (with some adult supervision)  and fill it with healthy treats for their friends!  It's all about
Love.

Have fun!   I have one more card idea!! It's titled 
You've got all I need! We still have time right?  I love the creative side...
I don't go for this 'Valentines DAY' stuff-  Show me love all the time not just one day of the year or not at all.  It should not require a DAY on a calendar for anyone to express love to anyone...  I will admit - it is a good time to 'take a chance for romance!' as  many have 'Amour on the brain.  

I hope you enjoyed this card - to the point of creating one yourself - if you do send me a photo- I'll send you a postcard. ;)    The next card is a print out as well, one more before  Valentines day so you have time to get your cards created!

Magic Mushrooms  - Psilocybin mushrooms is the proper name much like Cannabis is the slang name for Marijuana'.   I've been researching, it's easy enough as there is countless information available on the subject but you will also find this:

Disclaimer: Psilocybin mushrooms are potentially illegal substances, and we do not encourage or condone the use of this substance where it is against the law. However, we accept that illegal drug use occurs, and believe that offering responsible harm reduction information is imperative to keeping people safe. For that reason, this guide is designed to ensure the safety of those who decide to use the substance. We do not encourage using this drug outside of a legal or traditional context.

Yes  like cannabis Mushrooms are illegal, and for the same reasons.
A medicine - which grows in the wild in all sort of places- especially in cow poop. A medicine from cow poop? It just happens to be how this particular mushroom thrives - there are several species.. many mooooons ago a boyfriend invited me to a mushroom pizza party- I did not go - I was chicken, hindsight - I regret not learning about this medicine and introducing it into my life sooner.

I have tried mushrooms, it is illegal - I don't care... and I will have them again and often.
​First of all a shout out to Alison Myrden who I had heard was using mushrooms under Dr.s supervision to assist with her MS & TN. I could not believe it so I called her.  Alison is the only other person I know with TN.. I have shared with her recently information & photos regarding my health and Alsion talked me through some stuff. My TN is quite more severe than Allisons, physically & mentally. I am grateful for her help and kindness.

You might find this amusing but I don' like to be "HIGH", yes I smoke cannabis from morning to night but not to get high, to function. I especially don't like to be high if I can't work high- when I read of two police officers *who  while ON DUTY* stole edibles *while working in their police car*  claimed they got so high they climbed a tree? WTF?  NEVER have I known anyone to Hallucinate and climb trees because they were high- I think 'Liars' should be added to these two.  CLEARLY.  & I'm not alone: they've sparked a debate:
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/edible-pot-toronto-police-hallucinations-1.4510897  I will be paying attention to see what happens to these two- What a joke.  I did laugh btw, I know the area- I grew up there and it has a high Italian residency - I dated  a few Italians and they never liked Cannabis from what I remember- it was all 'coke and wine' for my Italian friends in the day.  I've smoked and ate edibles until I could hardly walk- so climb a tree -  I doubt it. I'm sure they did get very HIGH- I feel bad for the police officer that cracked his skull because he slipped and fell when checking on the two at the scene, I bet they laughed..  Talk about double standards & DO you think this is an isolated case?
Do you think these are the ONLY 2 to pull such a stunt? Not I. 

​My mushroom experience has been slightly different- still, not to the point of hallucinating. Simply put Mushrooms make me feel love for myself and others and see & feel beyond the pain. They help with my mood.  BUT it's not something I wake up and think- I'm gonna have mushrooms today!  For me it's the opposite- I have to  almost wrestle with it- and most days I don't.  I'm not very sure as to why- I let my body tell me what it wants- fruit, liquid, sleep, medicine.  Medicine that won't KILL, (none has overdosed on mushrooms to my knowledge) or cause serious long term detrimental side effects. Mushrooms - recreationally- I can't see it. Certainly not as often as cannabis use... to each his own. CHOICE. 

Alison said "Georgia, we have pain like no other- the medicine we eat goes to our pain and does it's WORK.. it's why we don't get HIGH like others - because it actually has purpose in our bodies other than just mental... " it makes sense so I got over my fear after speaking with her and  tried a higher does and was fine. Better than fine. I went and lay down and thought about  nature and nothing, thought of others and felt calm and stress free.

 I will say I cry very little these days &  I think it's due to the mushrooms, if I do- it's not for 'me' but the overwhelming sense of all that is happening in the world, child abuse, animal abuse, abuse of power, sexual abuse.. threats of war, global warming birds are dying...  

Alison, after learning what I was dealing with said 'she feels she has nothing compared to what I have going on' (not true) and offered help, support, information & love.  Until anyone can walk in my shoes and live with this condition- (tell me if you have figured out how please) I WILL do what EVER brings me some PEACE from this constant pain - will you now judge me for this?    Go ahead.

I still prefer cannabis for my daily medicine but every now and then I try to give myself a boost- if you can call it that. Many people are using mushrooms to assist with the end of their lives while experiencing serious illness like terminal cancer- why- it helps their MOOD.   We all deserve to be happy- even those who are dying.
Especially the who are dying.                 It's called:  Compassion.

Do I worry about being arrested- never.  I'd fight it & win.  I've spoke now with Dr.s, they all are aware - & understand  my choice  - the next 3 years we will be reading more about this medicine & will be made available  Mushrooms for medicine. THANK GOD!!!

I've met a fellow who even teaches how to grow and has shared much knowledge I also follow a few on IG, here is one site which has also been very helpful I will be donating an original for them to draw off their www.

FYI- I do not enjoy painting when "high" on mushrooms-  lol - so I guess that's why I do not access them as much as some might.
No cows were harmed during the painting of my mushrooms. It's been said- perhaps it is why COWs have been so cherished throughout history-  healing magic found in cow poop!

The Lord works in mysterious ways.
