Feel like getting HIGH?
Don't know why?
Thinking about  feeling fine?
Cannabis on the mind?

RELAX!  
It is a natural desire to want to feel high- why do you think little kids 'spin? 
Animals get high intentionally all the time.
Research is being done into how natural medicines, while getting us "high" actually could be protecting the brain- even rewiring it. 

People have been trying to get high since the beginning  of time- it's only NATURAL.
A God given right .
There is also this:

Constitution of the World Health Organization: Principles

• Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
• The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition.
• The health of all peoples is fundamental to the attainment of peace and security and is dependent on the fullest co-operation of individuals and States.
• The achievement of any State in the promotion and protection of health is of value to all.
• Unequal development in different countries in the promotion of health and control of diseases, especially communicable disease, is a common danger.
• Healthy development of the child is of basic importance; the ability to live harmoniously in a changing total environment is essential to such development.
• The extension to all peoples of the benefits of medical, psychological and related knowledge is essential to the fullest attainment of health.
• Informed opinion and active co-operation on the part of the public are of the utmost importance in the improvement of the health of the people.
• Governments have a responsibility for the health of their peoples which can be fulfilled only by the provision of adequate health and social measures.

Don't believe me? Prove me wrong.. do some research.
I know.
I have.

So don't feel bad for wanting to get HIGH.. soon you will be able to experience cannabis  comfortably, affordably and get high-   safer than alcohol..   research.

Who I think is the King of 'American Dispensaries'...  so far? More soon. 
​Do you know of any? 
Please share!!

It's the Great Psilocybin Charlie Brown!

What will you do today? 
I'll play with paint & imagine places and people & even a creature or two.
Pumpkin Patch or Psilocybin patch? 
​Which would you choose?

I've been watching documentaries.. mushrooms like cannabis are considered food & medicine around the world, yet in Canada and the USA people are being punished for them. For nature.  For natural life sprouting from the earth- which God Provides for us - after all  He created them.. and humans are being punished STILL over the world - yet world leaders behave like tyrants and commit atrocities on massive scales.. Those who allow this to happen and do not speak up in some form are just as guilty as those who put people behind bars for such non violent crimes.

​We are considering in Toronto - Increasing an antidote for  opiate/fentanyl  overdoses  
How dare  anyone be thrown in prison for  plants or mushrooms when we KNOW this is happening.  Please educate yourselves today you could save your life or someone you love. 

Enjoy the weekend...
​I've decided to hibernate - like a bear.

                              "For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains,
                                              but to live in a way that respects
                                            and enhances the freedom of others" 
                                                                                                                  - Nelson Mandela -

I want to be clear on a topic that's on my mind.  
Do you know how many women are sexually abused? In Canada & the USA? 
I've been researching for some editorial cartoons because it is a topic I'm a passionate about..  other women.  Once you start to research & read about it seriously as a woman, IF you don't get a little nervous - you're not reading enough.  Add the mentality of people/men like Trump .. 'Pussy grabbing president' is it any wonder abuse towards women is on the rise?

I think women are beautiful - I stare at nude women to draw them like LIFE drawing classes - this is next best, to achieve proper portions & shape - nudes are the perfect  I stare at nude men also but usually male models online wear a speedos (lol I'd rather nothing), not that it matters - you seen one you seen em all.  ;)   I often see semi nude photos on Instagram- and many can be classy- getting the point across - yet others - I gasp- 'what the heck are you thinking?  An attractive woman - suddenly posts a photo of herself with her crotch  facing the camera, no skill, no art, no professional backdrop - just a cheap shot, calling attention to between her legs & not much more.  I think  'She's old enough to know better'.  Is there an age for common sense?  I Keep looking  & soon you notice its a trend & with  younger & younger.  Older women- is this what we teach our younger sisters? Daughters? Granddaughters?  Where does this lead?  You tell me.  
Will she be an internet sensation- perhaps, become famous and make millions?  
Probably not.  More likely she will become a statistic:

• 1 in 5 women and 1 in 71 men in the United States has been raped in their lifetime.
• 1 in 15 children are exposed to intimate partner violence each year, and 90% of these children are eyewitnesses to this violence
• 19.3 million women and 5.1 million men in the United States have been stalked in their lifetime.

​Women should never be ashamed of their bodies but  this is not going in a good direction for women in general.  It is  heart breaking when you research these topics-  to post yourself so freely, perhaps You might understand the ramifications - are you thinking long term- are you wondering who is seeing your account, following?  Male & female?
Friend or Stranger.  Many rapists are known by their victims.

I could care less  if you're an older woman who apparently knows better - YOU are planting the seed for younger women. Will you be held accountable if  she is raped -  she looked up to you? No & chances are neither will her rapist-  Courts will say "dismiss the charges -she was posting her shots of her breasts & vagina all over Instagram!"
Lawyers will profess with much greater skill than many of the photographs that taken.  
It's facts, statistics, world events.   READ. Research.

​Why should I care...  Not my monkeys, not my circus.
Knowing I had the power and did not, chose not  - is a waste of my gift & ability to share it as well...   All who have the power of the internet at their fingertips should use it for some good occasionally.

Boobs & bongs- Please.  No one has to lecture me on 'recreations or medicinal', I am the first person who will say many people who think they are recreational are using it to self MEDICATE, perhaps PTSD in early childhood.. we all have stories.  For medical purposes  -when I see a 'medical dispensaries' page with naked women on it - I instantly pass.
Sex sells - what?  Am I looking of sex or quality medicine & if sex is what companies HAVE to resort to - the product can't be all that great or it would speak for itself.  
Are you purchasing cannabis or a mental image of a woman?  It's your  $$$. 

'You who do not have children'  & who use cannabis 'recreationally'  DO NOT understand the battle it has been.  Due to the stigma- boobs and bongs all over the internet,  for decades  'cannabis porn'- that is what it is- is a nightmare for patients seeking serious medical assistance with cannabis, try & tell a family member - 'yes this is the medicine my  14 year old son is on.'  Or Dr.s for that matter.... because they can't believe it could be medicine when they see nothing but porn associated with it. 

There are many legitimate patients who NEED cannabis to function- I am one of them... IT is our medicine and I don't want/need it associated with a vagina thanks. 
It is un professional & all ABOUT sex and nothing else- don't be fooled & it's always women on these sites - you don't see men with bongs in their crotch. Who do you think is making the most money? The women?  Phhhhbt.
Women who are raped every minute- some left behind dumpsters, some watch their rapist walk FREE like Mr. Cosby... that is the price women pay.  What message are you sending out?

If a woman is raped it is NEVER her fault- it is a man out of control - it might start with a stalker who has been watching these images and thinking they are for them- heck  I have people who THINK my blog is about them-  phhhhhbt.. shallow vanity.

There are many children seriously ill who could benefit from cannabis - they don't need the negative stigma attached and every time you post a shot you are encouraging the stigma - most PEOPLE still believe .  

This is what bothers me most.. and then these women post/comment that others are  judging or body shaming - because we do NOT want to encourage violence towards women. Call it what ever you want- for the record- for any attempting to say all who protest soft cannabis porn are body shaming or  judging - are judging.    
​WE ALL judge.  
Show me someone who thinks they don't.

I think women are beautiful & powerful should be proud, dress how they want, walk proud as daughter of God walk like they are stardust! WE ARE  - EVERYONE OF US!!!
Part of the UNIVERSE!  
One that deserves as much love and respect as the other half of society. 
Head held high & save that CROTCH for a very special guy (or girl).  
Abuse, sex trafficking, rape, stalking of women is on the increase as well as 'sext shaming' and its' getting younger and younger... online predators are at an all time high.  
Wonder why? Ask yourself - what are you posting?
WHAT message are you sharing with the universe?

Do you have a daughter?  Granddaughter? Would you want them posting photos like this? 
Not me-, I'd much rather a young woman post her talents, use her brains or imagination or creativity.. It will probably in the long run get her much further & safer.

I  found this artwork by an American (I could not find the original link or artists name) and instantly  thought it would make a lovely tribute  piece with a cannabis twist.  The original is 
​for planting a vegetable garden -as seen below... imagine if every American who still had a garden planted a vegetable garden!  & Canadian!

I was thinking about the poster as I painted "Every Garden a Munition Plant", planting gardens was turned into Munition - war.   The hat- I'm not sure aboot (not a type O" I'm told Canadians say 'Aboot." hee hee. I loved all else about her- her glance, dress and attitude.  Doing what needs to be done for  her country & family!
American women are strong! They are protective moms like every other mom on the planet.

If only Americans would  take the same stance with cannabis- everyone grow your own, If we can't get people to grow their own food- they won't grow their own medicine. Luckily there will be many choices for them in the future..
Near future - I don't think so- unless you are  medical patient- you'll still struggle.
I predict from all I was reading at least another 7 years of this mass media- reefer lingering madness, where people will still be persecuted for a plant in the USA.
Canada - it's over. I can feel it. Thank GOD!  Thank You Justin Trudeau & Family .

I overheard a woman telling another today- 'her knee is really bad and Tylenol, Aleeve - nothing is helping only making her feel sick - OF course I piped up:  
Why not ask your Dr. for cannabis?  
She looked at me eyes wide and said "I wish I could get a prescription- I know cannabis helps"  - I replied: DEMAND IT.  
DEMAND it. Go to your Dr. if you are legitimately suffering (and they know if you are) and DEMAND IT if you feel it is better for you - this time next year it will be legal and Dr.s should be providing PAIN RELIEF.  Perhaps more Americans should demand it. 

My gosh you're not A CRIMINAL because you want pain relief- Criminals are the ones WHO force you to take something against your wishes- NOT good for you - in order for profit. That is all it is.  As soon as Dr.s make money off of cannabis like all OTHER prescriptions, and why not- they are a business like everyone else...  they will l change their tune- they had better or they will miss the canna boat.

Cannabis is proven for numerous ailments and I can attest to PAIN being one of them. I have witnessed now for over 10 years how it has helped our son, and  I also use it for pain and  frustration.  It was not as accepted in Orange County- I didn't feel as comfortable - there were kids on both sides of the house... I didn't medicate enough. I felt more at peace but this' is persistent .

​ My seed planter is a little tired in her appearance- she has bigger issues than vegetables to think about.  Ending the war on each other - not drugs.

We all have other more pressing issues to focus on - How about those vegetable gardens!? Hunger is a problem & a better reason yet - MEAT is a bigger problem on many levels so: VEGE UP AMERICA! Plant & raise a seed of awareness if nothing else - help end the insanity. You deserve to be happy, healthy & wealthy - you work hard don't you? 
Sow the seeds of Victory - Today they would be HEMP seeds and Cananbis seeds.
& lets change it to 'Every Garden a Nutritious Plant.'    ?  
It's a start for peace. Plants & people.. 

God provided every seed for everyone- Genesis 1:11..    What is there to be confused about?
YOU ARE NOT criminals for  wanting to be happy, Healthy & Wealthy.
It's the American Dream. after all.

Well, you don't  know homesick until you're away on Canada's 150 birthday!   I am.
I've searched South County for Poutine- to no avail. Oh well- it will be all the tastier when I arrive at home! Not for a bit, my Cali adventure is not over yet.  I do like BahaFresh and had to make do with that for lunch. Americans are already in July 4th mode.. I'll sing 'Oh Canada in silence in my head.. lol   

I've been finding items of interest. I found  change.. American coins, my rabbit skull, the surfers watch, a nice grey sweater  (I did take after walking past it the first time - as I forgot a sweater - so why not!? Finders keepers.. then not a while longer I spied this colorful -what I thought was a bottle cap in the grass - I kicked it with my feet.. but picked it up when I realized it was not a cap- Instead it was a colorful silicone container  - GUESS what was inside- BUD! LOL!!! Really- had my friend not been with me - he might not have believed - I was just joking about all the 'treasures' I've been finding!  Enough bud for 2 bowls I might add!   Hee hee hee  

Today is my lucky day- I have the feeling it shall only get better.
I Am going to THINK it so!  
I hope all are having fantastic day back home.  
I can't complain  & I've already Got some art work for Canada Day 151  When cannabis is LEGAL across the board in Canada! Amen! Thank you Justin! I see how sad and confusing and how the system is abused here.  I get why Americans are dealing with what they do, after reading up on it while I'm here and talking to everyone I meet.  Come on Donald - get the feathering off TWITTER and run the country you have been APPOINTED to run. 

CONGRATS NEVADA!! The 5th state to legalize recreationally! But the casinos won't let you smoke it, you can only in your own home- if you get caught in your car its a $600. fine.. silliness. Vaporizers, edibles, vaginal suppositories  - give it up and reap the $$ rewards that you know will be on the way with he money from legalization! 
I'm sure there is much more serious SIN in sin city to focus on - No??
Me- I'm about to go smoke some 'Cali bud I picked up at bud &bloom.. it is good medicine,
out back.. in the Cali sunshine thinking about...  Canada & bears.. France & caves.. 
my next great adventure! Every day- is just that.

With love
