This cartoon is just to show you simply the hypocrisy surrounding these laws' and those who make them.  In Canada  we are permitted to have limitless amounts of alcohol in our homes.  Growing up- who had a "home bar?"  Oh my gosh, the first bar I remember was so cool at the time- a little thing set up - complete with 2 stools and tons of booze for Friday night entertaining with friends. Saturday and Sunday too.   Later in life my dad had a huge bar built in the basement "Billys Bar" it was really something, sports themed with mirrors along the back wall  and every shelf (glass) was covered in bottles of booze - some 80% PROOF, gifts from friends over the years. My dad was in the car business and he would come home with cases of booze at christmas, to drink and give. It was the norm and still is for many- many homes still have a bar in the corner if not an entire 'Man Cave" - much like my dad had way back before they became a "thing". There is NO LIMIT to the amount of alcohol we can have in our home. No limit on the cases of beer we can have- heck- some build furniture out of them cases.. until they need the money for empties. 

How many homes have wine cellars? I like a nice wine, although I've really have not drank since I bet my friend Chris- if he cut back on his meat consumption - I wouldn't drink. Not even one drop over the holiday weekend. It was not noticed or missed. We can have limitless amounts of wine in our homes, red, white, rose and don't forget the sparkling! We can have a bar & a wine cellar in our homes.

Cannabis- it will be regulated and IF you have OVER the permitted amount in your home, you can still be arrested. It won't happen. Unless you have a crazy amount- good luck, I don't understand the thinking- it's still keeping us under control- an attempt to anyway. It's still prohibition. CONTROL over our lives & choices. 
The federal government also proposed possession limits for adults and youth. Under the federal proposal, adults would be allowed to have up to 30 grams of dried legal cannabis, while people under 18 years old could have up to five grams.

We can  get fall down drunk at a friends bar- at 9 in the morning if we choose (some do) yet  we won't be able to have a cannabis party- it will be too expensive and with the limit- we might let some smell our best bud- but we won't be sharing or comparing.  lol  
Actually most cannabis consumers do share, they have a better attitude and understand the lies surrounding the plant.  It's all fear mongering.  Who will stick to this law?  
Cannabis  has many strains- with many different results from feeling more energized to some that calm you down, some help my mind and others help my body. I look forward to all the varieties which will be offered to people!

WARNING- many for the first time will get  HIGH. I've yet to meet anyone yet who stripped and ran naked though the streets once they have consumed cannabis- if someone does it will be more about the exhibitionist than the cannabis.

It's simple until you know: just go slow.  
Tiny bowls, Tiny puffs.. tiny bites & wait. 
Learn to know how cannabis makes you feel, slowly.. and then collect a strain or two- for the mood you want. I always have a few strains to choose from & have my favourites.  Now to start the day & calm my twitch - #humbervalleykush.. later some #grapeescape for some  great gardening work to be done - this is what I do when I'm high, no lie.

More examples of Canadian cannabis fear mongering coming soon.

With Love

I forgot to mention this cartoon was inspired by comment on FB.
I asked him to explain & he did... clearly the thoughts of many Canadians.
​

"In our cabinet we have about twenty bottles of different liquors. As well,  I have many bottles of wine. I don’t intend to drink them all at once neither will I sell them to anyone else. Why is the proposed limit of x amount of grams or you go to jail valid. I don’t smoke weed myself but I would think that regular smokers could also enjoy different types of weed. Why could they not have a collection to draw from. Not all weed is the same flavor or strength. Anyone can make their own beer or wine at home for their own use so why would there be a limit (within reason) on weed. In my mind this is not legalization.

Hashish to Ashes and Buds to Dust..    From the earth & back to the earth again.
This was said to me by my friend Sean ' I liked it.
Often I hear things from friends, simple remarks - bit of cannabis creativity!  
I do have friends in high places.. this is well known by now. My friend are intelligent, educated on cannabis and have much to say- if only people would listen.
My website starts at 13,ooo & usually gets to  to 28,ooo by the end of each week- more with negative drama-  BUT even more when I offer a FREE print out or show some new art on IG or FB- so that is what I'll focus on!  I have things to share'...   lessons I've learned.
My friend just learnt a lesson.

I'm having difficulty with the mail still - is this why?  ;(  There is no point going to the post office, as I never know where to start- who's end' is responsible.. I like to surprise people and send them gifts- originals in many case. I sent a painted turtle for example - to a turtle lover - but I know she did not get it or she would have thanked me ;( it was months ago. Now, I don't want to tell her because it will upset her.  

Before I left for California a friend kept calling me- "Did you get the art I sent you?"
I'll call him William', I like William- he's 'out there' in some ways and can be not the most 'approachable' guy... William KNOWS his stuff, especially about Canadian politicians and he is not afraid to contact them and call them on remarks they make.  I wish we all did.  
He said to me on our last phone call:
"Did you know the man Kathleen Wynn hired (he named him) to design our sex education program - a university professor - was a Diddler?"   A Diddler? It made me smile- I've not heard that since my grandma.  Apparently  he claims the fellow sexually abused women, encouraged others to tie up our daughters and etc and went to jail for it- BUT we never bothered to change the program. Is this true? 
Our sex education program designed by a sexual predator. wow.
I'd bet it is true, If I know William.. I've not bothered to research, yet.
Is it?

I sent William a gift- very special ART. He loved it and wanted to thank me.  He sent me a gift!  He sent me a painting - art he made when little- BUT William also included  some  (he thinks 'possibly some bud - he is like me  and can't remember) and some seeds.  

                        Williams package  to ME was seized by the
             POST OFFICE & POLICE. 

​He was worried and I left instruction to call me in CA if he was arrested and I'd be there! & I would have.  GEEZE people- FIRST let me say - as I said to WILLIAM before he sent me anything:
 PLEASE NEVER SEND ME ANYTHING THAT IS ILLEGAL! 
My mail has been f*cked with for years now I've blogged about it several times.
Worse after the letters to our homes stating we were medical cannabis patients (*thanks to that F*ck up Health Canada). This is for YOUR sake more than mine- because I don't send stuff in the mail - ONLY ART.
 I'm very thankful that you have wanted to share your home grown goodness, baked goods etc. with me- I feel loved but I would feel like shit if any of you got into trouble for wanting to show me some love.

My son looks after me, better than anyone would. ..  I'm good. ;)  
Anyway, sure enough he was contacted after trying to find out what happened to the package.  The police sent him letter telling him he was a very  bad boy. No charges were laid - more or less  a message "we got it and we are keeping an eye on you.'  I thanked him but reminded him- I told him long ago -  don't send anything.  How terrible though- how many drugs that kill are flying around the world via the post office right NOW,  yet, they took my friends art, and SEEDS  and will not return them to him. Why?  
Would they have killed me? NO
He was sending me a gift from his garden. FACT.
​Please, think of it that way - was because that is ALL it IS.  
               Gifts from the Garden.

Well done post office  &  police...
You stopped a 'mega criminal' in his tracks - what a joke, How much did that cost? Thousands, probably.  I wonder how many illegal drugs actually went through the same post office that day - capable of killing.  
So just so you know>>> It does happen and they are watching specific people.

​From the EARTH we came and from the Earth we will return, it would be nice if we were not persecuted for trying to be healthy & happy while here.
Hashish to Ashes.. Buds to Dust.

I watched the televised meeting regarding cannabis, some - I plan on watching it all soon.
I had to shake my head at much of what I heard.
I also was astounded at the LACK of education displayed by our Police, government & many 'so called' politicians.  That officer from Saskatchewan -I wanted to ask him - have you been paying attention or are you just going to KEEP re-hashing all thats been already mentioned the past several years? He appeared to me a professional, full grown crybaby and  potential bully.

One politician stated Dana Larsen "has no respect for the law" I wished he would have simply responded - "YOU are correct. For a law that hold no respect for Canadians."
Laws MUST be changed - Rules must be broken. At one time it was illegal to breast feed. Illegal to be married to whom ever you choose-  Illegal to many assumed 'rights'  if you were born ingenious in early Canada.   
ALL changing.
THANK YOU!  Canadians have shown in countless situations.
WE care about each other.  

Frankly, when you know what I do, what millions are aware of and especially- the Canadian Cannabis activists in the community (many more knowledgable than I) know- it angers you.  
Angers because it's still all about lies.  Angry because there is still FEAR mongering about a substance far less deadly than most prescribed medications- yet they speak of Cannabis with a negative stigma- STILL. Not far from calling it the Devils weed.   Shameful.

When will it end?  How can the government in this day and age - rely on ignorance. 
They can't. They will not be able to continue such blatant lies.  Building up fear over a new industry that will thrive and grow. Pun intended.

Canadians are not stupid. 
Canadians are compassionate. 
The legal lies must end so WE can ALL focus on helping each other where we need it most.

Police NEED more money?
Think of all the resources NOW that they won't be busing people over a plant!?
Right??? 
Perhaps they can focus on things that really matter like HUMAN trafficking.  Domestic Abuse, Child Abuse, Animal abuse.. ALL things which actually HURT.

Next- 'You've got mail'... 
NO, I don't,  because it was stopped and SEARCHED & seized in Canada!!
I have warned this before - Someone is taking my mail.  ;(
& for some- it's not nice because I've had some ART go missing too.

I LOVE crock a Doodle!  ^^^ Imagine the possibilities! ^^^ What will it be?
I walk over with Poppy & we sit & paint!
Guess what I'm giving for Christmas this year- lol
Actually- it's a lot of work... but for a one of a kind gift - it's perfect.

Have a look at my newest plate - I made it with my son in mind..
​First some sketching..

This was the easy part.. the art .. from the heart.
A platter for Fungi Friends.

The painting is a lesson in patience for me every time..
3 coats to make each piece pop!  My constant companion also shows patience...

That's that!
Now- it just needs to be baked!  
​I get so excited with this NEXT  part!!
.

Taaaaaaaa Daaaaaaaaaaaa:

 I've already painted a few other pieces but - it's a surprise every time & I am very pleased with my plate!   Take your kids- find a place like this and go and get creative.

You pick & pay for what you paint & then you pick it up a couple of days later.
Laura is lovely at the georgina Location! She lets me know when no kids will be there.. lol, she shows me the new gazes, shares new events and has answered all of my many questions... I'm  creatively curious.
It's so nice to see creative outlets in the area! You can walk in, no appointment needed.  
Make memories with your friends, family and kids.

I definitely need to medicate before I go in and as soon as I leave, I walk past an elementary school so if school is in' no problem - I don't if school is out at lunch or it's recess..  on one occasion a group of teens from the local high school was walking in front of me, I think they were possibly medicating as well.  
My son was medicating in grade 9 (thank God) I understand it is a possibility.

Thank God for cannabis - keeping me crafty ;)
Realistically- I think it's a good time for edibles from now on. 
This is what I do when I'm high.  How about YOU?

My intention was to gift the plate to the 40th Cain Foray, so I did.. what they will do with it I'm not sure, perhaps they had a draw..  I'm making the next one to keep.   I know it will make someone happy no doubts.  ;)  & that makes me happy... it's the mushrooms uniting the world.
