The King of the Cannabis Jungle would be a Green King. :) I love playing with paint..
​
I can think of a few 'Kings of the cannabis jungles' -  I have a favourite even..  
But if you actually google:  
'King of cannabis'
It comes up with someone I've met, respect & like.

The Kings of Cannabis - Watch the Documentary if you've not seen it, I highly recommend.
Get a new appreciation for what the Strain Hunters actually do. I can't help but like any cannabis industry, business, dispensary who is helping a community and you can not deny - they are helping big time & have been for a long time.  To watch the video, we are reminded Franco in no longer here.. he gave his life for 'us' if you think about it - working in the jungle, searching for the perfect strain.  I believe he is watching & helping still and will forever be with the Strain Hunters for generations to come.

Arjan – the King of Cannabis Commitment to Conserve the Genetic
If you’ve been in the cannabis business, be it cultivation or sales, you’d have surely heard about Arjan, who is regarded as the King of Cannabis. And, if you’ve just entered the world of cannabis, you ought to know about this successful cannabis businessman. Arjan, the founder and owner of several cannabis businesses like Green House Seed Company, Green House Coffeeshops, and Strain Hunters, is the only marijuana breeder in the world to have won around 39 high times cannabis cups.

I think what the Strain Hunters are doing with the Africans is incredible & difficult work and they should be praised. They certainly don't have the 'luxuries of home'   I am also a fan of his instagram account - It makes me SMILE.  Many have NO clue of what is really involved..  Arjen educates, makes us aware of life for others less fortunate and is helping an entire community in more ways than  many can even begin to realize to what degree.
It goes well beyond cannabis.  

​These are the people who are making a difference in the WORLD & bringing you quality cannabis. Hard working business men not your average cannabis consumers.'  Certainly not 'stoners'. 

Once considered 'criminals' now the King can sit up on his throne doing what he does best..  Growing some of the best cannabis in the world and trying to make a difference by making  the lives of many easier at the same time.  
I've met him on a few occasions  and believe he is a very 'down to earth', nice guy.  
Professional.  

​You get what you work & IMO he deserves all he's got.
I agree with Franco when he said along the lines.. 'you can't dislike the poor- we've been there and you can't dislike the rich - we're going there." Isn't everyone striving for  better?  If you can improve the lives of others along the way... amen. 

​I respect and admire anyone who works hard for what they get.
I wish there were more like Arjan... there are and I am blessed to know a few.
​* I will say - Arjan has a TEAM of  hard working people behind him.
​
​Time to focus on those who deserve the attention and love for they are making the world a better place through cannabis & erasing the stigma AND providing us with Quality Cannabis for all our recreational and medicinal needs.

More Lions.. more kings..  soon.

Editorial cartoon regarding New Canadian Cannabis  regulations Tomorrow.

Please Read.
It's good for your brain & you learn something every time, your vocabulary increases and YOUR imagination takes charge! Unlike Television your OWN mind creates the visions in our brains and it is a WORK OUT. USE it or LOSE it. I'm going to encourage reading.  I'll admit- my imagination did visualize parts of this book which were... incredibly SAD.  
At the end of the world.  By Lawrence Millman

Storm picked up this book at one of the Mycological Society meetings, the Author was there- I wished I had gone! I glanced at the book on his desk read the inside jacket and thought .. hmmm - this sounds really interesting- wow & realized it is a true story- as it implies on the cover Georgia.. duh.

I could NOT put this short, informative book down- I loved everything about it - including the style! I've already said to Storm - I'm getting another of his books! If you want to read a really - simple, gripping, hard to believe story-  over  feathering religion -how interesting - why do we allow each other do what we do?  The Author writes it  at the same time 9/11 happens - it is easy to understand why even at this TIME - the Inuit people struggle with what happened with the REST of the world.
 
What Canadian youngster - does NOT remember Nonook of the North? It was mandatory for every grade school class at one point- lol - I still can hear the narrators voice in my head.. Nanook (you'll learn few things * TRUE Inuit words!) Mushrooms & MURDER..  one of the first ever 'documentaries'.   This was IMO a terrific book full of facts, trivia and relatable events NOW, one moment I'd be snickering at  relatable google frustrations, the next in shock at what I learned, in particular with our own Canadian Government.

A book a month - I'll read & share!  
What are you reading? Use it or  Lose it.

    How many moms can say they were given a custom dabber for mothers day!?
& IT IS PERFECT! LOL    If I do say so  myself. It was given to me early so I could use it right away!   Isn't it PERFECT? It feels good in my hand.
A painters dabber & 'carb cap, VanGogh would approve.  I love it  not just because it was a gift from Storm.  It was made by one of his long time friends Sam - who also gave me  my nug pendant!  Sam is a young glass artist  with a passion for cannabis nuggets,  His gold plated NUGGETS are very cool I must admit!  I ALWAYS knew Sam was going to be 'artsy' & encouraged him,  I have over the years had several 'Talks with him "mom stuff" and recently Artist advice- things I've learned and if I can help him learn easier than I did- I will. I've even lectured him on his instagram posts! LOL!  
Sam is a good kid, I can't begin to tell you how happy I am to see him 'go this direction.
'starving artist still' lol,  hungry & that's good - he is constantly creating and I believe he is someone to watch, perhaps even pick up a piece while it's still affordable. 
YES I was blown away when I saw my gift! I said "Oh! LET'S DAB!!"
Now, I need a dabbing rig!
I was going to try to wait to mothers day but I had to share.
I love my boys.  It was thoughtful and I am deeply touched.

I am very proud of Sam and can't wait to see how he will progress and be right up there with the best!  Jerry Kelly, Stephen, Tara,  David  - I've discovered a few new artists I follow on Instagram also.  I've been introducing them for years to Sam!!
I show him my growing collection.
BTW- Did you know Stephen & his wife & dogs (love them) hike and he hides his marbles!!  For anyone to find! Oh my gosh.. I'm getting a Donkey to hike the hills.  
I AM blessed to have one on my desk - looking a time now. 

My friend, Martin of ROOR tells me this week he is planning a 'Phantastic glass blowing demonstration in Vienna in September!  I'm looking into 'Milan in September so we shall see.  Glass art is ART, please support artists especially those just starting out.

A *dabber -the paintbrush- is what you use  to put your dab of  'oil  -concentrated cannabis into the heated bowl of the bong to enhale.  The 'golden piece - which looks like toffee/glass you see in the photo is a 'dab'.
A bong  requires a special bowl piece that tolerates high temperatures. 
Carb Cap - the paint pallet- you place over the bowl so all the dab can be inhaled  properly. 

Dabs... o.k. -  when I'm having an especially difficult day & cannabis is just not enough, I will dab. I do not dab daily, simply because dabbing has the tendency to  make me sleep more.  I believe my body is telling what to do and Im listening.   I do smoke  cannabis daily ALL day- it does not interfere with my daily activities. 

Do what you love! Thanks SAM! Thanks Son!  #Bestmothersdaygiftever. lol 

With Love
