Weeeee!  Thank you Canada! Our first year of Legalization and we did not end up looking like a bunch of  Loons!   Heeheehee  I knew we wouldn't.

We proved if anything, to the rest of the world - not only is legalization working but it was 'Highly successful' it's first year - and Not one overdose - let's all breath a sigh of relief & put reefer madness to rest.  It was Norm that reminded me - "it's a year!" - because I have been legal for years, I kinda forgot. Thank God.  Thank God we are NOT stressing anymore over such bullshit, now we can all focus on Politics' a little better - ready to vote? I am.

I'm going to show up braless with a 'I love Justin T!'  hahahhahaa (just the thought has me giggling) I vote at a local restaurant & I've no doubts, I'll be surrounded by several Consertatives. hee hee  I don't trust 'conservatives and cannabis'...  I wonder why.
I don't trust consertatives & pipelines. 

Still hearing stories (more now come out of the Cannabis closet now that it's Safe'r)  of when they were younger and  was busted for growing a plant.  What took so long for this madness to end?  Some are still being busted... & as always there's usually a little more to it.  I hope all who have been charged in the past look into having prior charges cleared, take the time while it's available - who knows what the future holds.

Yes, it is a reason to celebrate! Canada has profited & shall continue to thrive - now with edibles  once it's all sorted out. I do make my own edibles.. but when edibles are easier to purchase - say at a bakery (in a special *adult glass counter) I'll buy more edibles.  I do not like to purchase stuff that I can't touch, see or smell.  People have expressed & continue to do so by visiting dispensaries and NOT via the gov and mail to show - they want to SEE, smell the bud & the experience.   I think the government will soon agree & the only way for them to make the money they anticipate is to let a wider distribution & tax it all.  Just as convenience stores sell beer & cigarettes - let delicious bakerys or gourmet food shops sell delictable snacks.  

...When Pigs fly!  
I've heard that before.

I am currently mid canvas' so, I did not spend as much time as I might have otherwise on this anniversary - next year! Next my witchy crystal ball will tell you who will win the election!

Netflix has 2 new documentaries: Weed the People & (I preferred) the Grass is Green 
I guess because I learned more from the second  that I did not previously know & one does discuss children but I know what cannabis does for children. Thank God.  If you don't, then watch both.

Why are people still being punished for cananbis use?
Studies - we need more studies - fuck studies - talk to others, open a history book - talk to rock stars & past presidents, there are many famous tokers of cananbis.
& then there is still ignoranc in the workplace & I thank  this guy for educating in Halifax: https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/halifax-man-denied-job-because-of-cannabis-use-wants-others-to-be-aware-1.4428094    so, there you go Eh! WTF Canada- lets get the facts right- I think a company should be more concerned about drinking on the job - much more common - do they test for that? How about Opiates?
 I personally would not want to work for a narrow minded company anyhow.
On one chanel you can watch a documentary with babies medicating - on another you have a company not hiring - because a grown man had cannabis  LEGALLY in his system.
It all takes time I guess, I'm hopeful- we are this far-  after all! 

Weeee! 2 weeds for a long weekend - I've been gardening all day & am ready to pass out now..  so much gardening thanks to some guy names monty on netfilx.. lol - & the police open! wooot woot - or should I say Scruffy said Woof Woof!
 Time to imagine some relaxing fun.  ​Time to Go for a joy Ride!

Tomorrow is all about the Bees tho- being world BEE day.
& a I'm terribly disappointed in Georgia's decision - a statement painting that applies to both! Have a  lovely long weekend- I hope not to many fireworks are let off - if so please put ear protection in your babies ears!! Fireworks can cause everlasting damage to ones hearing.

Another pondering primate... what is my new chimp obsession?  It's been triggered by several things I guess, most recently the thought of the loss of more beautiful beasts.  Destruction due to consumption, too much to ponder some days. This chimp brought a new level of painter... I know this when I spent an afternoon patiently painting the hair 'just on his chinny, chin, chin! 

Why do we still have plastic bags? Lazy. These magnicifant mammals each one a miracle & our lazy butts & gluttony for palmoil are kiling them & I'm sure someone somewhere is  using Chimp for medicinal reasons or even decorative.  I'd rather not research that, now.
I find myself pondering the stoned ape theory again -how 'evolved' we have all become or have we? According to the studies we have started our own mass destruction - so why wait one more day to stop using plastic bags?  Why?  

As I finished this painting Denver has decriminalized Psilocybin mushrooms! The first of many US States with Canada following soon. Everything this blog said about cannabis - apply it to 'magic mushrooms' - = Psilocybin . It's that simple. EVERYTHING. I am forever grateful for this slow but steady personal education & depression releasing medicine. If not completely releasing  at least discovering = Forgiving.  Cannabis is my choice of daily medicine but every now & then my body & mind tell me when it's time to medicate with psilocybin. My lite treatment caused some negative effects - I can't even begin... I'm takng a break & wearing scrubs for comfort BUTT it said getting worse before better - might be a side effect. So  feeling a bit blue with not much to do I decided to finish my primate that I started a few weeks ago. 

Psilocybin help me 'feel a little more loved' for much of what I don't normally find very 'lovable at times. Including myself.  

I'm in full painting mode again ;) - to keep me out of depression mode  ;( .  
I already have the NEXT painting sketched in my mind - another pondering primate   in a slightly 'new style' an experiment, I think. Weeeeeeee...   

 ;D  I'lll leave this here so you might ponder a little.

NFS... unless the offer is worthwhile & will purchase much more paint! ;)
Acrylic on wood panel. Gold, Copper paint that makes this painting look different every time you look at it as well as around the edges - make sit POP  ;).
I'm forever grateful for the experience.

     If Gumby was in the Cannabis Industry - marketing & packaging  would be all the buzz.
Have you introduced your kids Gumby? I grew up a single child raised by a single working mom  so I watched a lot of cartoons & had a lot of 'alone time. Gumby, Bugs, Mickey & Kermit were not just entertainment' but friends' who inspired a great deal. 

I realized how serious many of the lesson Gumby discussed were as a child & Beeecause they stuck' with me to date & are still a problem today as in 2 Bee or Not 2 Bee.  Spraying illegal chemicals on the plants making all the Bees sick s- they get a Biker metal Bee to help  If only it was so.  Gumby was educating children the best way the creator thought to do.
Me too.

Gumby also encouraged limitless creativity with his magical body of clay powers & pony pal Pokey too.  Hee hee     Creativity keep me going, these little characters sit in a shelf in my office treasures from the past- I like them because they trigger happy memories... if I had any advice to offer anyone about decor in the work space' make sure all you see is associated with a good memory or peaceful feeling.  

Today was one of those days I lay down for a nap & that turned into 6 hours! Clearly,  needed, still feeling tired I'll take a few quite days to paint, rest & medicate & meditate.  & catch up on some painting that have been under the surface for a while now.  That's always good news for anyone that might be waiting on a painting... or mail - your patience is  appreciated.

I just found out about a 'GoFundMe' I am going to contribute to & I encourage you  to consider the same.  Toronto ground breaking documented research for depression, anxiety using microdosing psilocybin:         https://www.gofundme.com/microdosing

Hello April!

April fools it appears we are - first we woke up to more snow!  lol  The sunshine is melting it quickly tho, and today is the day privately owned dispensaries are permitted to open legally - those who won the Cannabis store lottery- apparently only one is officially ready to open... jokes on us again?   I did see on the news one place in particular - the woman states in interview  (more or less - I'm not sure of exact wording)  This new 'Canadian dispensary' - bragged how they wanted to start off right' & they hired an American company  to design the store -  WTF?  I'm not going there to shop... it's that simple.

Believing  the USA has better creative humans/resources than right here in Canada...  
is a joke.
Canada is incredibly Creative.

It's not personal my American friends - I KNOW you would feel the same & to be perfectly honest - I think it's a recipe for failure here in Canada (well they do have the cannabis that will help them) look at all the 'big USA brand stores designed, inspired by American mentality - currently not doing that well in Canada, several locations closed or closing.. Target for example.  Many of these other places all appear somewhat 'cold,  impersonal & very 'consumerism' driven.   Not very Canadian imo..  
Not friendly, approachable or enjoyable..     Eh?!

So - Happy April fools! 'one' more Cannabis store  to visit - I'll wait to see what other creative CANADIAN inspirations appear before I choose to spend my Canadian money  to support other Creative Canadians.

Have a terrific day!  
​I've got a date with a Space Monkey!

What gifts would I give myself in this age of wisdom?
I'd give myself the gift of HEALTH & LOVE & honesty.... the gifts of peace & happiness even. Exactly what you see, a bouquet of cannabis with some psilocybin & some Eucalyptus for decor -which is also medicinal.  I love the intoxicating, refreshing smell!  The next time you get some hang it in your shower under the shower head or in the tub for a lovely NATURAL sent. Try it.   I'll pick up some fresh flowers too soon because they do make me happy & anxious for spring. What gift would you give yourself today if you knew better?

I copied this information off of an account I follow on Instagram that I find very informative & helpful:
             David calls psychedelics “among the safest drugs we know of”. He and a team of experts in addiction, drug policy, psychology and other fields ranked 20 drugs on their harmfulness, using criteria ranging from drug-related mortality (death by overdose) to environmental damage.

Overall, Psilocybin Magic Mushrooms were ranked as the least harmful drug, followed by LSD, which had the same score. Alcohol was ranked most harmful (more then ten times as harmful as Psilocybin or LSD), followed by heroin, then crack.

Referring to Psilocybin and LSD, Nutt writes: “It’s virtually impossible to die from an overdose of them; they cause no physical harm; and if anything they are anti-addictive, as they cause a sudden tolerance which means that if you immediately take another dose it will probably have very little effect." Even tho they're toxicity levels are among the safest compared to other substances, the effects of psychedelics are very powerful, and have a potential for unsafe and irresponsible use.  Educate yourself first and do thorough research before consuming any mind altering substances.

DISCLAIMER: Psychedelics are potentially illegal substances, and it is not encouraged to use these substances where it is against the law. However, illegal drug use does occur, and offering responsible harm reduction information is imperative to keeping people safe. For that reason, this content is designed to ensure the safety of those who decide to use these substances.  Credit: Michael Pollan📽

I am thankful for all those who continue to educate & speak UP, if not for them too many would continue to suffer needlessly. I do agree with:
Educate yourself first and do thorough research before consuming any mind altering substances.  Including ALCOHOL.

Canada has Passed Bill C 93!!  People whom have records  for "simple Posession" of cannabis can have them pardoned! No FEE & for FREE! This means it will be taken off the record and it will not effect a persons ability to get certain jobs, volunteer, travel & more.   This was wrong from the beginning - when you know better you do better.
Thank you Justin! Thank you Canada. 

Next - I release the Kraken! It was a lot of work.. more than I anticipated.

The Peyote cactus knows.. and if you ingest it- you might know too.
I have no desire to try peyote - first because it sits on my desk & I watch how long it takes to grow- it's so sweet my pet peyote,  I don't think a 'high' is worth seeing my little guy go (that & you have to eat many I believe for them to effect you properly).  Storm successfully grew several from seed and it's been really fun to watch these tiny little cactus grow many taking years before they become substantial - and then they get eaten?   Peyote also don't seem to taste that great- I'd have issues keeping them down  just from watching people eat them - it makes me nauseous but I love to paint them! I painted a little peyote on time-lapse -it's on my IG account.

Food for thought. They are illegal in the USA - with the exception of ceremonial purposes but they have been abused and are becoming increasingly difficult to find sadly,  this is not good for the PLANT. Peyote cactus are considered teachers.   Nature has all the best teachers.  It teaches me already -  'patience' just by painting it. You can't see it here but it glistens with metallic paint & it's peeking through the keyhole of the universe... in my mind.

TTC drives are not permitted to consume cannabis- or that's the direction they are going to try to go- GOOD luck with that. What anyone does in their off hours is no ones fucking business. WHAT ABOUT ALCOHOL? Do they- have they ever  told drivers  they are NOT to consume alcohol after hours? It's a cartoon in the making. I see a lawsuit in the making... not to mention the very slippery slope.  Reefer madness is still rampant in Canada thanks to this sort of bullshit.

Do you know what kills more humans than illegal drugs - VANITY.  
 Think about tit. ( hee hee note type 'o) before you get the boob job!!
I watched a few episodes on Netflix of Botched Up Bodies - I highly recommend it (IF you can stomach it)  It's hard not to feel sorry for these people, all they wanted to do was better themselves... God has you perfect the way you are!
Botched Vagina's - cause  everyone needs a pretty vagina! WTF? Countless boob jobs gone wrong, lip jobs, teeth implants, lipofat removed & it's an education of how much $$$ this industry is making, this show covers IT ALL & Education is key- everyone one of these people admits they did not research, fillers that need to come out years later because they move & are making people very sick  & on top of it they are embarrassed because they paid to have themselves 'destroyed'.  Vanity KILLS EVERY day.  It is a rude awakening many need to have... not me - no cosmetic surgery for me, I'll embrace every wrinkle, saggy boob (I got two) - I love me too much to do this to my body. Twitch & all!  It really  makes you understand how fortunate we are too - I feel  healthy & grateful after watching that show. 

 One Strange Rock on Netflix is fantastic.

Drug Mule... the only kind I like is the furry kind above.
As long as drugs are illegal- drug mules will be used & it's an entirely new level of low... 
Clint Eastwood has just made a movie Drug Mule that I hope to watch soon... I also recommend:  ​https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZlgZGMVFFs   Maria full of grace.
Prohibition kills countless ways & it discriminates no one. As long as someone is making a lot of money they will continue their ways- at any cost.  Puppies who had drugs surgically sewn into them by a "vet" - is just as serious as forcing a human & I do hope this 'vet' goes to jail , for the rest of his life.    Who is to blame?

Anyone who believes Drugs should be kept illegal - it's obviously not working so the sooner we end this bullshit the better - no!?  I no longer believe the majority of drugs (used for recreational or medical purposed)  should be kept 'illegal' ... it's human nature humans want to get HIGH - do you think there any coincidence in our Hello?     
Hi!

By keeping drugs illegal we keep these horrid practices happening, that is a fact.
Let's get our 'asses in gear'  -  educate, regulate - tax even! Anything to prevent the loss of life, especially for those innocent victims usually already  in unfortunate circumstances who have no choice but to be a part of  ILLEGAL Drug trafficking.  
A few possible suggestions for now...
Shop locally. Buy locally produced product if possible.   Grow your own.  Advocate.  Educate. Encourage legality.

Talk to your kids NOW so they have an awareness of where drugs come from & BE HONEST (the bellies of puppies sometimes) so they are able to truly understand at an early age the impact judgemental thinking & outdated laws have on each other because you know what's bound to happen... these 'kids' are going to grow up - and TRY drugs, go figure.
Let them BE Educated on all that matters...  frankly, I believe this issue matters more than most bullshit history we are 'still' taught...  time will tell.

Whats worse than drug trafficking?  Human trafficking - let's focus on that.

Check out Me & Larry posing for a selfie! Hee hee...
Larry is OLD! He loves me & I love him, he would sit on my shoulder all day and smile if I let him, Ginger fell in love and was obviously delighted when they shared a bed- she actually rolled over & was submissive to him lol..    
Love  has NO boundaries.  

Cock a Doodle Doobie Dooooooo!  Acrylic on Canvas.
Cocks in the cannabis field and POLITICAL BULLSHIT.

This painting represents a  part of the current cannabis industry. 
Run by a bunch of cocks all trying to be the head rooster in the cannabis farm - have you seen cock fights?  My painting speaks for me. 
​
Fuck I'm pissed off today - after reading about this bullshit in our community & I'm clearly NOT alone, I have lived here over 25 years and in the restaurant business socially witnessing much over the years...   all these politicians who didn't have any issues drinking at lunch meetings - FUCKING hypocrites!

I also know a few who have toked a time or FEW- SHAME ON YOU!
I read one councillor said "we already have a problem with drugs in the community" - this is fucking priceless coming from someone who sells ALCOHOL - YOU know what's a bigger problem in  Georgina >>> ALCOHOL ABUSE!  FACT.

The Mayor remarked -"legalization won't take away the drug dealer on the corner" - No it won't Margaret-  YOU deciding NOT to allow a dispensary - will for SURE KEEP THE 'ILLEGAL DRUG DEALERS ON THE FUCKING CORNER.   DO you realize the revenue we just GAVE AWAY? To AURORA I GUESS. I wonder if that has anything to do with this bullshit decision, so much for 'legalization' when people - who really should not even have any say in what WE do in our own homes as ADULTS - with a 'now LEGAL substance' - not allowing us to even buy it locally - SPEAKS volumes.

ALL the business lost. Do you seriously think people will drive elsewhere to buy their cannabis but come back home for Lunch, Dinner, a movie or to even shop?   If you do  believe it your a dope.  Nope - it won't happen - Georgina  you can kiss those dollars GOODBYE.  

Reality/statistics/facts show us  (if you don't want to think it or admit it fine..) BUT  people (minors included) WILL drive ELSEwhere to purchase cannabis & party it up elsewhere (it's what  we do - it's called human nature) and sadly some returning home will possible get into an accident -  REMEMBER this COUNCIL MEMBERS - remember this with your decision to make people drive ELSEWHERE for a legal substance.  One proven far less harmful than alcohol.

I'll fucking remind you with an email every time I read about another impaired death on Woodbine.

I've got to admit I e mailed Rob Grossi this a.m., (our former mayor) so upset.. (at least he TRIED)  & it hit me.. this battle we have fought for so many years - for our sons medicine - to educate...  to try to show how many children it helps...   why do I bother?!
I feel today I've lost this battle... I feel defeated.  
​In my own fucking home town.
That SUCKS.

Taking a break.
