What's going to happen in 50 days?  Chaos? Overdoses? Death & destruction?  Hardly.
I doubt very much will be different the day Cannabis is legalized - other than the fact that for *the first time in Canadian History a few THOUSAND Canadians will light up and NOT feel bad about it! Not that they do now- but they will feel FREE.  No longer committing a "crime" by the standards of others.  

'Peace'  - Peace of mind' comes with legalization for many.   

Forget the olive branch - the branch of peace is cannabis, for many it will simply be a new date on the calendar, I'm grateful we've been legal for a few years already- other than ignorance of others - it's the only problem we have had surrounding canabis.

This leads me to todays headlines about  'Cannabis Poisoning'  (bullshit reeefer madness continues I see) and cannabis overdose(s) have increased.  Phhhhbt.   It's been OVER TEN  years now - I have never overdosed or was poisoned by cannabis - nor was my son - who started at 14 I remind you *AND I never controlled his cannabis- he was permitted to use what ever amount he felt necessary - WOULD you let your child do the same if on opiates for pain? Hmmmmmmm   'Poisoning' - BULLSHIT.   Words. Fear Mongering.  I don't  know  anyone who said they ever overdose or was poisoned by cannabis - EVER.

That being said- I DO believe some end up in emergency - because they are NOT educated. 
Being incredibly high can be somewhat uncomfortable - if you are going to play- be ready for the game - ride it out..  eat, drink juice, brush you teeth, get some fresh air-  emergency room??  This article on Cannabis - It's fine, because do you know what I understand and am educated on - the numbers.. the numbers of people who visit emergency rooms from Alcohol POISONING   -   What  IS  ALCOHOL?  
 "...volatile flammable liquid"  - cheers.

Let's not forget the numbers - of DEATHS directly caused DUE to Alcohol - are we reading about this daily - NOPE.  Just the DOPE.
Bullshit.

I am working on some cartoons that DO educate - on the dangers of MIXING the two. 
Yes, there will be accidents- because some will try cannabis for the first time (edibles too) & they will continue to drink and the two will not mix well.  Ladies in particular- Please stick to ONE - preferably cannabis & roll your own when ever possible- Grow your own- cause YOU know what - IN 50 days  - YOU CAN!!!

In 50 days will Chaos take over Canada??! 

No, just the opposite  Peace - Peace of mind we 'can choose'  to get high (recreationally) and KNOW we are Not hurting anyone, KNOW we won't be arrested, KNOW the insanity surrounding cannabis will pass...
This too shall pass.

Not  long now Canada - and you can have your first LEGAL puff - but make sure you keep it on your property.  Do cigarette smokers have this same rule eh? Must look this up.  Will you buy from a dispensary or online from the government- because it does not look like they will be ready- NOW you will have to order it by mail. No thanks, I still would LIKE to see what I'm getting before I buy.  Will you be an educated Cannabis consumer? I sure hope so- if you are not then your just being a dope' (not that kind) because YOU can read just about anything NOW on cannabis.  The difference from when we started out & the information you can now find is phenomenal.  I'm pleased for parents of seriously ill children especially.

I remarked to from one day to the next lately - it has me laughing.   WTf is going on- who cares - Cannanbis will be legal in a couple of months! LESS charges will be laid- there is fear mongering going on about driving etc. my thoughts are:
 if you are IMPAIRED and it is effecting YOUR driving abilities then DON't DO it. Duh.   
How many people will try it for the first time?
And did I hear we are discussing dropping previous cannabis offences!
AMEN - I'm so proud of Canada& cannabis... almost.

I don't get one thing - Why are we NOT giving it to our seriously ILL medical patients who NEED it and are unable to GROW it themselves - due to physical restrictions...  because I know for a fact- the government is happy to pay  for OPIATES - WHICH are proven to KILL & we are already struggling with an opiate epidemic. Why!?  My girlfriend is on disability - and has suffered most (if not all) of her life with pain, mental & physical -stemming from her serve physical disability- her Doctor thinks her cannabis should covered and so do I!  I told her to apply and they declined her- stating they don't do it for anyone - OH well- times change! Figure it OUT cause YOUR killing my girlfriend and it is NOT right!  Insurance companies will cover it, as I understand.. read about this:
https://www.insurancebusinessmag.com/ca/news/group-benefits/aurora-cannabis-offers-new-employee-benefits-plan-that-covers-medical-cannabis-106887.aspx  Bravo Aurora
BTW - I can't keep up, I don't know 'who owns what' anymore - so this is about the insurance.  ;)

There will be fakers - such is life.. BUT that's not our problem- its the governments to figure out who is lying- surely with proof from Dr.s  THERE are legitimate patients who can be easily addressed.  My girlfriend takes the opiates given to her  "because it's easier & they are free" HOW fucked up is that?  You don't ride in her wheel chair so don't judge. You might not think this is a big deal - until your in pain and are given opiates- proven addictive & deadly- you don't have a choice- so in fact, the government is RESPONSIBLE for creating & maintaining & continuing the opiate addiction problem.

Is it because of Cost? Pills ARE cheap to make.
- How about ALL the major LP's having to GIVE a percentage of their cannabis to a program for proven seriously ill patients who can't grow it for themselves?  
-How about setting up a facility where patients in wheelchairs could go in and HELP, volunteer  -work with others- (good mentally & physically) work with the plants in exchange for free meds?  
-How about the government guarantees a kickback$$ On fellow growers/patients hydro bills if they prove they help other patients for free? Eh?   Am I dreaming here or what.. pushing it just a little - You never know with a NEW HYDRO board! 
Come on Canda! Let's HELP out those WHO need our help.
Let's look after each other. 

Also people think if you grow cannabis you should "give it for free" not understanding the cost to some who grow,  seriously.  Serious costs.  I've said before I recommend you get help if you plan on growing - it will save you many mistakes,  money, time and heart break - loss of medicine. It's not cheap to grow especially at start up & why should those who have worked VERY hard at their craft' be expected to give it for free?  That's like asking ME to draw your logo for free - same thing.  No. It's not how life works I get it - but  we are not the ones making $$$$$$$tax money off of cannabis in a couple of months.  You know what... I don't care about everyone I care bout my girlfriend right now - I told her to apply,  she did, she had her D r.s support - she's no faker.  and was declined- [they are not providing it for anyone] and now she is even more depressed knowing they happily pay for her opiates even tho it's cannabis that helps her be "happy".
 
Time to change the rules while we change the rules.

Time for me to get out into the garden with my pup(s) this was inspired by Ginger and  friend with another pup & beautiful (inside&out) women of colour, you are not painted enough in the positive light that you are.

​Tomorrow, I admit to how FRICKEN sexy I think Trudeau was & editorial cartoon from Crusty & I.
​

26 years Norm & I have been married, yesterday. 
We actually had dinner, I got roses & we cheered each other - with a look of  surprise more than anything. BUT we did cheer, that's  more than I can say for the past few years.  
Norm & I have reached a mutual agreement it appears. 
We have had a lot of time to talk.. discuss especially since Storm moved and it's a different dynamic around here.
 
We have reached an agreement it appears on several issues.  
There's no way you can live 26 years with someone and not get on each others nerves from time to time but with me being able to now get away more often, either to visit my son or with traveling (which I'm getting excited for again), visits to nature - this is my life how it is NOW.  Our backyard is like an oasis, bird habitat - I like all my neighbours, I love how the dogs all run out and say 'hello to each other'. I love hearing kids laughing, playing OUTSIDE. One little girl the other day cracked me up as  She was trying to get dads attention: Dada, dada, dada, dada dada - lol Storm use to do this also when little: Mom, Mom, Mom ,mom, mom, mommy mom, mom..   it made me laugh every time. 

I have surrendered to it - this medical thing- I'm embracing it.  I LOVE it! I has made me STRONG! Taught me to say FUCK OFF! & given me strength to stand  up for what I believe in and *stand ALONE if I must! So be it! 
 
If anyone would not "want 'to be SEEN" with me...  it speaks VOLUMES about them, doesn't it.  What a powerful gift that is.     Pbbbbbht - They should be so lucky.
   BUT - I'm going in a new direction, done 'chasing' anything, anyone...    
                                    it's all about creating from NOW on.

I painted a new moto for my desk:  Fuck it, Chuck It, Own it.
Fuck it: all that causes me stress, I don't need others 'crap'... OR stuff - I got all I NEED. 
Chuck it: Good bye STUFF, guilt, past- stay where you belong.
I don't need excess crap any and 'stuff to DUST' - I will surround myself with love & experience.   Lovely = People & things.
OWN it:  If I want it- I'll get it! Taking what I deserve hands wide open. ;)   LOVE 
Creating  work that inspires! Make other smile- I gotta say -I'm sorry I can NOT sell my TIKIs- They are making laugh OUT loud- no drugs needed!  I can't stop - I'm on #4 and will make a TIKI fence- a rainbow of TIKI!  If someone wants one, they will make me an offer I can't refuse or I will have them to enjoy myself with friends & family.
​BE.
OWN it.

I am thankful. 
Big changes are on the way.. 
We are both very  happy for Storm, he's doing well & enjoying himself- we visited again on the weekend it takes some getting use to mentally & physically',  he's happy & his apartment is very nice, he's having the adventure of his life.  At this point I'm NOW enjoying the 'creative quiet' - I'm diving in. He's on his own path, now.  
So we have made some decisions.  Who knows what tomorrow brings?
Exciting news to reveal soon...

Wait until you see my Tiki's.. 
Next.. A little Alice in Wonderland.

Ashes to ashes..  I call it this because I smoked a lot of cannabis while painting it and it's about life...  the cycle of life. Change, growth - progression.   October 17th has been chose as the date Canada will officially legalize recreational cannabis in Canada - the anniversary of Gord Downies death...  awesome - a day we all felt loss now will change into a day to celebrate with a joint (as Gord did many times) listening to great Canadian music-  feeling 'free" & hopefully happier.   

Justin Trudeau said he would legalize cananbis in Canada & he has done that #promisekept  I choose to celebrate, after already reading some negative comments from activist- it has me thinking- What DO you want?  It's never going to be good enough for some people- is this because they enjoy drama? I don't know..  I don't care,  focus on the all that will continue to go right - it's a step in the RIGHT direction - on a massive scale -I've yet to hear anyone discuss. 

Canada is only the second country in the world -- and the first G7 nation -- to implement legislation to permit a nationwide marijuana market. In the neighboring US, nine states and the District of Columbia now allow for recreational marijuana use, and 30 allow for medical use.  With legalization will come realization- education and it's going to make it difficult for these countries who STILL severely PUNISH people over cannabis.  Time, it all does take time.  At least the world is talking about it- which is something compared to what we witnessed only 10 years ago, 5 even...  how many of you said never in my lifetime will canabis be legalized- well isn't that hopeful in itself!? YES.  Miracle do happen...  in time I have no doubts Justin will also deal with those already incarcerated and possibly have records for past minor cannabis offences -dismissed.  

​Just yesterday someone said to me " I heard cannabis is legal..  some will abuse it"
My reply: Yes some will just as Alcohol has been available for  decades  and many ABUSE it with far more deadly consequence - proven too many times over...   at least those who "do" abuse cannabis won't end up dead from an overdose.  
Isn't this all we should really be concerned about?  ***No one should ever operate a vehicle impaired by anything - especially the most deadly culprit going NOW - Your cell phones.
    
I later thought- it's a mindset and like legalization - it's going to take time to change.  

Celebrate, more will be introduced to a safer high.
Children will be educated on cannabis, parents will grow it at home,  teach it is a PLANT.
Cannabis will be grown & eaten fresh! You won't get high - only healthier - juice it!
Cannabis will be free to be discovered in kitchens across Canada!
It is anticipated- Alcohol consumption will go down! Here's hoping.
Less alcohol hangovers - less people calling in sick for work...  date rape - on cannabis.. I've yet to hear about a woman not being able to say NO when just high.
The Canadian economy will flourish - new business is being created at this very moment.
Money from Cannabis collected by our Gov- will benefit is countless ways- just look at other examples. 

Sure a few are going to get very rich- that's just how it goes, why should it be any different with cannabis, there will still be court cases - it takes time. Marketing, it's going to change in about 3-5 years this will all  be sorted and it won't be a big deal going to the store to buy some bud - IF it's available..  from what I'm reading, hearing- the demand will be HIGH - it's expected the "pot shops"are going to run out - let's wait & see. 

Last night I played with Daisy and her Aerobie on the front lawn- what a beautiful evening.. I was able to do this because I smoked a joint (2)  ON my front lawn..  I AM legal, Cannabis is my medicine & I AM proud of it.  I puffed to a greener future.
I puffed to an awakening on a massive scale... I puffed to thank God for how it has saved our lives and eased my sons pain.

I'm not worried about running out because I have a very talented grower looking after me... My grower loves me & I him - hee hee - most people love their growers, there's that too - Canada is going to GROW - Canada is going to become one of the best in the world (already is) with Cannabis.  Canadians CAN grow - legally- how smart is that? Because they can grow legally- they will do it right, no need to hide.   As for all this crap about homegrown fear mongering still - our own health minister said it- it's the same as  making wine or brewing your own beer at home- only this is GROWING PLANTS- Who doesn't already grow plants? My house is full. It's a petty  argument and these will be the first court battles I think we will see - it is a HUMAN right.  Those who will  grow well above the limit, sell to those they should not..  they will still be  arrested - it's their CHOICE. 

It's OUR choice... October 17. 2018
Thank God.  

What stage are you at in your life?  Egg, caterpillar, pupa or butterfly? 
Change has come... give thanks.
​Be grateful, thankful... or don't - that is a choice too.

I get it.

Have you watched 100% hotter?  
It's all about beauty & the beast. 
The beast called BEAUTY' .  
Insecure, lonely, sad beautiful people - afraid to be - themselves.  
What will happen when make - up doesn't cut it anymore? 
Your guess is as good as mine...
I guess they will follow Anthony's footsteps  sooner or later.

Afraid to leave their homes, afraid to interact with others without the mask.
Who are you?  Can you be seen as you truly ARE?  Hmmm? 
My mask is off... with it came off the rose colored glasses. 

Thinking about Anthony, all he witnessed, lived, tried... tasted,   I get it. 
It's enough to put a sour taste in anyones stomach & he was witness more than most.  
Suicide is still taboo - because people do not want to admit they ARE part of the problem.  We are all part of the problem. Have you watched Audrie & Daisy?
 IF I had a daughter I would sit her down & watch it with her  & TALK about it.
*Talk about Alcohol while YOU are at it.  It is a common denominator.

In a world FULL Of humans - to feel so alone... this is the problem.
What does  'it' matter? The money, travel, food.. all stuff.
​All stuff that does not matter when you constantly witness cruelties against each other, he was aware of this #metoo thing, if I had to guess - in all his travels,  he's witnessed more than most and was just tired. I get it.

I am so tired some days.. mostly due to this condition  attacking the right 1/2 of my body, from head to toe - spend an hour with me and you will witness it, I guarantee. I've even doubted my ability to travel lately, France seems so far away some days,  traveling to the mailbox  feels like an adventure.  The constant reminders that so few understand or try to understand  if what frustrates me the most, I therefore enjoy days of solitude -where no explaining is necessary. This past weekend I was alone ALL weekend and felt very refreshed at the end of it.  I was very much in the NOW.  
I have had 'family' throw it in my face..  which was a terrific lesson- You should learn to walk/run away from people - get them out of your life 'FAMILY' is just a word- not everyone deserves to BE in your life- no matter WHO they are. 

With examples like Trump running 'the show' my trust in humans diminishes daily.  What if Trump attempts to commit suicide & decides to take a few countries out as he goes?  I think he has clearly proven how unstable he is in countless ways..   
Anything is possible - clearly he is president after all.

Yes, this painting depicts how I feel, physically.
I'm sorry my son knows how I feel above all else.. but he also understands events in my/our life &  how 'I got this way'.  He KNOWS I try every day to be better, to be positive to be love...   to just BE.

I don't need or want pity- this is more or less me  "coming out" because I KNOW I am not alone, I KNOW many feel like I do.. I know some young ladies in particular feel exactly like I do & have  a harder time NOW with social media- it's an entirely new level of added pressures for most.  

Watch Audrie & Daisy- worried about your kids and cannabis?
Watch Audrie & Daisy and learn what you would be concerned about.
My art has saved my life time and time again.  Focus on your passions.

I do often tell people  "If not for my brain pain- my life would be perfect.."
it's learning to LIVE with the PAIN.  So far so good. 
I also have  incredible Dr.s  who Listen & TALK and keep me here without antidepressants' & remind me: I do have reason to feel the way I do.. it's NOT all in my head.
 
I know I push people away - constantly.
Some look forward to it- then they don't have to SEE what I am living with. 
For those that remain thank you for your understanding & love, all others..
​
Fuck you, you're not worth the mental energy I could be using towards painting.

Suicide rates are on the increase with Canadian women:   I get it. 
​globalnews.ca/news/4274136/suicide-rates-women-men-canada/
Clearly, I AM not alone.   
For now... I am in good hands.  
So is Anthony.
Gods.

Back to Sloths & cannabis next.. back to painting what makes me smile.
Thank God.   Make yourself SMILE.

Dear Anthony - I get it.
Your call.

I've recently discovered this Japanese artist on Twitter..
Go here:
https://twitter.com/avogado6   
His work displays how many of us feel at times during our lives & it's not always enjoyable these are some powerful images.  

It has inspired me to work on some drawings of my own.
It's a way to deal with the issues and educate - doing what I do best.... drawing.
Painting can also be part of a specific healing process, I'm not sure about other artists but once it's OUT on paper it's out of my mind and life goes on.. I guess a drawing purge of sorts.  I drew countless images over the years afraid to show them- not realizing how many  would actually 'relate to my drawings.  We are not so different.
Maybe that reason alone is helpful for those who can't put into words what they are experiencing. 

Viewers be warned. It won't be your usual bear, sloth work.
Tomorrows painting is titled:                   Dear Anthony,  I get it.


Ending on positive note.. my son visited yesterday (with Burger priest for lunch) to do laundry and an oil change, it was nice to just sit in the driveway while he worked, the girls on the front lawn as we all listened to city adventures.  I can hear the appreciation for the best of both worlds Storm has at the moment.  Daisy was thrilled and laid more of a guilt trip on him when he was getting ready to leave that I do! LOL   It's good to be loved.

A friend sent me an e mail showing my website BLOCKED  in the USA  (New York)
Reason given Category : Abused Drugs.
This is what is happening in America right now.
Have you seen the new documentary on Netflix about Social media & privacy?
How the CIA is breaking down doors of 12 year olds and putting tourists in jail for posting derogatory remarks about Trump?
You will only be shown what they want you to see. 
Where is democracy going?
Free Speech.

 

Something happened I did not expect..  I knew I would be happy when Cannabis finally became legal but happy - doesn't quite cut it- I Am FUCKING ELATED!
                                          I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE IT!!
If Justin Trudea was here I would be hanging off his neck (are you reading this Crusty?)  thanking him and hugging him and trying not to squeeze the life out of him - like Agnes with the Unicorn in 'Despicable me... Thank You Justin! Thank you for realizing above all else how Cannabis prohibition (drug prohibition) is harming Canadians because of unjust laws.  Thank you for letting Canadians decide how we should be able to enjoy ourselves. Thank you for ending the insanity of cannabis prohibition and setting an example for the rest of the world to witness and hopefully follow.  
* My son reminds me "it's not officially legal but it is unstoppable..."   now we just need the date, and that won't be long now.. a few weeks?

I read over and over again- of course a few politicians -still fear mongering, still stalling- the Conservative government - would have found a million excuses and kept sending our youth to jail -  I would now like to see  convictions overturned  for cannabis offences- especially for simple offences like being busted for personal use.  I read so much my minds still swimming - the sense of relief you have no idea.. of course a little wave of  'I told you so..'  is there too. I told you so...  In our life time. 
The Sun, the moon & the truth- Cannabis is not what we have been led to believe for decades.  Yes, I've lost friends & family over cannabis arguments - sadly countless have- especially between parents and children (young adults)...  
Suddenly I don't feel as mush as a 'loss' as a 'CLEANSE'.  Good riddance.
Anyone who judges you over your personal use of cananbis - especially medically - speaks volumes about them.  Every time I read  "we need more education" - I actually chuckle- It's ALL we have been reading about as Canadians for over a year easily & lets face it  - we ALL should be somewhat responsible NOW for ourselves and for educating our OWN children on cannabis - the resources are abundant.

Yes, there will be problems, a few more hurdles- like marketing, products, dispensaries.. - a few humans will mess up- IF you try cannabis & it's not for you - duh- don't use it. How difficult is that - some people  just don't get it- they will consume cannabis & drink alcohol, they do now.. will  Canada wake up stoned and everyone start to get hight all the time - no, life will go on as is because we all still have bills to pay, lives to live and a purpose to fulfil.  After the realization finally set in- I found myself losing all feelings anger I've had... with  legalization come realization and who can ask for anything else?
Yesterday was one of the most peaceful days I've experienced in years.. napping  outdoors - I woke feeling  new hope about cannabis in Canada. 

Recently on IG - I 'unfollowed' anyone that had anything to do with cannabis- for a few reasons, mostly because when I'm missing my son-  seeing all his/our friends only makes me miss him more,  it's a constant reminder when I'm trying to focus on  other issues.  It has me wondering how does anyone break up in a relationship in this day with social media?! It would be harder to do and to move on..   & then I feel forlorn because it's all people I truly like (& care about) and have to re-follow.   Ha, so those I unfollow and re follow - I really like you.. hahaha, ahhhh social media. We all have bigger issues to be concerned with.  I'm sorry, I simply do what I feel works best... it's not always the case in hindsight.    

Now we need to focus on All that will continue to go right Canada - CELEBRATE!  

This is for Justin.. thank you.

Lot's of time to think. 
Now that Storm has moved I find myself thinking about moving on myself.
Why stay 'here?  For the dogs... for the pool?   A Gazebo...  STUFF?
Why stay?  Is this 'house' worth it?
Why stay?  Convenience?  Comfort?
There is nothing convenient or comfortable being in a house where there is no love.
The dogs love me..   :)   Thank God.  Bird too. 

I'm taking some time off - going on a mini 'silent' retreat.  
I enjoy not speaking  - it physically gives my face a break, not speaking means not triggering my condition - and there are days I will do what ever it takes to try to get  break from 'this, the past week between the weather (pressure from rain),  added stress - I had 3 conversations on the phone each time I explained first - "I have a condition that causes me literal pain to speak on the phone"  so I don't like to repeat myself, thinking it  would be addressed by those in charge, so I don't have to repeat over and over.. Especially NOT to someone who just wants to hear gossip.
I want to go directly to have problem addressed  promptly - wouldn't  you?
                    Do you think any of these strangers cared?   No.  
They didn't give a fuck how I felt - so I thought why should I -  and I became BLUNT.  
Blunt & quick to the point & WILL again if need be.    
They wanted to 'gossip'.. and I don't give a fuck about gossip, nor do I have the time - I have better thing to do - like paint!  It has made this past week a nightmare, physically.
No medicine seems to be helping and I have absolutely had enough.
I can't even paint through it - lots of napping going on.

Time to take a break, go within & catch up on art work a few are waiting for, thank you for your continued patience,  I'm grateful people appear to understand - the longer I take.. the more thought  I've put into your art.

The personal project  I am currently working on also requires more concentration & focus,
time to take it to the next level.  

                With God all things are possible & the possibilities are ENDLESS.

There is this good news: Finally.  

                                               Laughing Buddha...      Zen As Fuck.

It's been a while since I painted my Laughing Buddha,  I painted him as a reminder for my office.   Be Zen.   Zen as Fuck.

The sun is shining, Cannabis is soon legal - what do you think... about 33 days?  SOON.
I've been celebrating already - painting  some Canadian themed Cannabis art so yes -I'm feeling extra Zen myself.  Parents are you having conversations with your kids?  
A friend asked me about young developing brains..  Let ME CLARIFY:
Kids- Do not use any drugs you should not -for as long as you can - they will effect your brain - we don't even know how with some medications until much later in life- when it might be too late to do anything about it.

As for young adults Adults..  I believe Cannabis is safer than Alcohol.
Many are in agreement. You're NOT stupid- RESEARCH.
Please use caution - accidents happen. I was really pleased to read recently a young man  is sharing his very honest story with younger students in the area. Scott Wollin  is one of Storms best friends (when in high school) brother.  Scott talking, teaching others and admitting his mistakes in hopes of sparing others the same pain- I am grateful he is sharing as difficult as it might be.  Scott uses cannabis now to help with any issues he is still dealing with.   When someone close to you has such an accident it is an opportunity to have a very real conversation. why wait.

Please do not consume alcohol as if it's no big deal. it is a very big deal

Be high on life as long as you can! .. and then try cannabis.
One of the safest recreational drugs available NOW.

"Not in my lifetime will I see cars that self drive..."   I heard someone  remark recently  
& thought:  REALLY? Because... I'm pretty sure a self driving car just hit & killed someone. 
Not in this lifetime will I see a woman president...  some say - I beg to differ.
Not in this lifetime will I see world hunger end - I pray I'm wrong.

One "not in this lifetime will I see.." I heard several times- especially about 10 years ago when Storm started using cannabis as his medicine at 15. & I started to educate my family & friends on Cannabis - I would hear:  
                         "Not in this lifetime will we see cannabis legalized"

As you might be aware.. this caused me great added stress, sadness & anger... when I use to care what others thought and tried to defend my sons 'use of cannabis', but soon realized &  I learned quickly - if you cared about me & my son- and his pain,  what he was dealing with - you didn't give a fuck about the Cannabis - you supported US & I am grateful - you know who you are. What a journey this has been.

In less than 2 months Cannabis will become legal in Canada. I'm pretty sure I'll still be alive when it happens.   hee hee   God willing.    Will I call up a few and say:
                                  I TOLD YOU SO! Mother fuckers (yes, I think it from time to time still) lol    

No. I won't have to... they will know.   I told you.  How about an apology?
No.  Don't worry about it - no apologies needed because your opinion then taught me long ago not to give a fuck what you think. What I know NOW is this, this is common for many, just yesterday a friend was telling what relief he feels now with cannabis becoming legal 'made to feel like a pot head in the past by family'- what is it with family - thinks they can say shit and you'll just take it.
Not I.  Probably why very few family speak to me.   lol   So be it.  
​With legalization will come education. Thank God.

Amen.  I say Amen because it is Jesus  who I have talked to, cried  and begged  for understanding - understanding every time someone said something  hurtful - didn't believe us, condemned my choice as a mom for allowing Storm to use cannabis  as his medicine - had it not been for Jesus - I would have been lost and lonely long ago., instead I've thrived in my heart & with my art & my beliefs in this plant. 
So.. for all those that never thought you'd see cannabis legal in 'our' lifetime - here's a Unicorn to go with!  I bet you never thought you'd see one of them either!  Saddle up!  Cannabis is coming Canada!   Hee Hee Hee  -YEE HAW!
AMEN.

​You are forgiven.. it has been amusing seeing you proven  you wrong & I am happy you are still alive.

Wit TLC & THC
Georgia  & family - including  our animals ... 
 who are more loving & understanding than some 'human family.

& then I woke up to a giant snail in my living room from my friend Justin!  LOL
I just knew it's going to be an awesome day.  
It was the ULTIMATE 'snail mail' - as it just appeared.
