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
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. with Love g Who I think is the King of 'American Dispensaries'... so far? More soon. Do you know of any? Please share!! This octopus is a work in progress- just like me. Us.
His tangled legs force me to focus as they twist and get lost in each other.. You will like him- He is very cannabis friendly. I've discovered, I paint octopus when I'm dealing with something I really need to process. On my mind.. California. I KNOW why I was to go. A test to myself. Sitting on the beach, long walks with Poppy & a lot of alone time. Painting time. I felt physically better. It was not just the weather. It was many things, I didn't do much or go many places. My friend was a vegetarian so in many cases that's what I had also & have to say I've not had meat since. Really! I've no desire for it. As you might imagine I'm cooking without it - so all around everyone is eating less meat or they don't eat- or get takeout. Not my problem. Less Pig for sure. I'm looking after myself and cook what I feel is best for this bod & mind. I am not saying I won't eat meat again, I will saver the experience' and not just eat it to eat it - a beast had to die for it. A new CALM appears to have kicked in.. thank you California. I'm giving all I have to think about to what I do want. Calm, Love, Peace. I know exactly what I need. I've thought about it for years. Bring it on! I work for it... isn't anything worth having even better if you work for it? My body is a temple.. not suitable for poison in any form. Plant, animal, chemical or human. Since home & medicating properly I'm noticing a huge improvement again back to focusing and painting. I have had much time to process my California experience. It appears my friend I visited is no longer communicating with me.. he was disappointed and verbally expressed this to me a couple of days after my arrival - it wasn't going as he expected. Too bad. Even though honourable intentions were expressed before the vacation things changed, so did the dynamics of my vacation- but this was o.k.- it forced me and Poppy to have a lot of alone time - thinking and crab watching. I was upset at the time but later I laughed with Storm and said "what can I say -Your Mama is just too damn desirable!!" Boundaries were made clear before I even left. It went as I expected. I had no misconceptions of what my vacation was going to be - a vacation. Cest la vie- I've made several attempts to continue our friendship. Do I feel bad - no. I've done nothing wrong. I'm not making any apologies for others behaviours any longer. It's sad though.. a friend lost- why- a hurt EGO. Men. Arrrrrgh. What ever, I walk away - held held HIGH. My body is a temple, I have no intentions/need of being 'intimate' just for the sake of a F*ck. At the age of 53 - it's nice to be strong enough not to cave to OTHERS desires if I'm not feeling them myself. How many times do women in particular do this? Too many. The dogs missed me & Bird had me concerned... he really missed me. Next vacation I might smuggle him with me! lol Joking. Next vacation - I am going alone... I made up my mind. Not one single thing to worry about but me... up in the mountains on a peaceful county side. From this day forward Everything that goes into this body will be deserving. Just as I AM. What will you place in your body today? Is it good For YOU? Mentally & physically? Will it nourish or just fill you up with junk that will only make you ill in the long run. Think about it - with every nibble. With Love g Back to this tangled green Cananbis love. Pop Rocks! I called her 'Poppo' on vacation. Poppy is the cutest, behaved little dog proving me with a service of LOVE & Protection in 7lbs of fierce! She will take your finger (tip) off if you don't watch out! lol She actually is not aggressive at all- unless she feels she needs to protect me. She keeps me from taking harmful chemicals. Fact. I will fight for Poppy like she fights for me, make no mistakes. Keeping me natural like my medicine. Thank God. I know some can't understand what Poppy does- it's not for you to understand. She brings me peace... and our trip to California - she proved what a little rockstar she is! Every Flight- she walked ahead on the plane with me towing my bag behind - Hooked to my belt so I am 'hands free'. EVERYone looked at her in amazement with many Awwwwwssssssss and giggles - I'd say "here it is" (meaning our seat ) and she jumped up! Then I'd buckle up and she lay on my lap - I'd cover her with her blanket and that was that, she never made a peep! Every time! 3 flights - hee hee - I'm going to put flight pins on her vest & EVERY single time I had flight attendants remark- "I forgot she was on the flight" & "she is by far the best service dog we've had!" California was awesome! Poppy went to the movies & had many patio meals and went to the Getty!! I only had a couple of incidents with humans.. one customer in a 'subway' gave me such a dirty look and shook his head at 'us.. he did it to me 3 times! I was in line behind him holding Poppy, I lost my appetite. I said I wasn't hungry and would wait outside... when the gentleman emerged I look at him straight in the eye and calmly asked: "Do you feel better passing judgement on me and you don't know anything about me?" He stopped (caught off guard) "I wasn't judging you... I was frustrated at.. the woman behind the counter" "Bullshit" was my reply. He calked his head back and says "well o.k., but.. come on & I love dogs but really? " He reached out to Poppy but she turned her head & ignored him (awesome) "YOU judged me and you know nothing about me." Who was he to look at me and shake his head in disgust... I was NOT harming anyone. Poppy was Not harming anyone. I was holding her.. she is cleaner than most construction workers in there for lunch. He looked at me and said "I did." I looked at him and said "enjoy your lunch.." He walked away. Food for belly & mind - I hope. God was with me. I knew what to say, calmly. What is with people - Holy! Are there not more serious things to focus on right now- like TRUMP?? I get it if a dog is misbehaving but I feel like we are constantly paying for it. If you see me having an attack, you get it. They are quick but fierce and I clutch her.. Some times she looks at me and jumps off my lap then stretches to be picked up again- "FOCUS on me" her eyes speak. She knows. It's not pleasant for others to see - trust me when I say it's much more unpleasant for me to experience so please.. get over it. Poppy LOVED California! I loved California! Truly & the people in general MORE.. not just my friends. As Canadians I hope we send them our prayers/good vibes daily, too many are suffering right now and are living in fear and unstably. All & all - California was friendly & very understanding of Poppy & I when we ventured out as a team & I am truly grateful for having had her with me for countless reasons. Please Don't judge people with service animals- if the dog behaves badly - YES, address it. Please don't just assume we are all the "fakers". Do you really think I enjoy taking a dog with me everywhere? I don't. I LOVE her but it gets tiring... thankfully, when I am with someone I am comfortable with I can leave her - someone who understands and just rides it out with me for a few seconds. Next museum- in France (dream big baby!) no Poppy! Well... she does like Vincent van Gogh!! Poppy Loved California & my friend too - which was terrific - it made my visit more comfortable. I'm sure he is missing her. It inspired a funny card which gave me good giggle to paint! I'll share it another day. More On Poppys adventure with the customs officers soon but these are some of her favourite photos of California. With Love g As I prepare for our journey I'm thinking about Poppy and peoples reaction.
I don't care anymore what anyone 'thinks'.. I know what I experience and I know I could probably be popping pills right now that would have me so stoned' (not in that good way) zonked I would be very 'relaxed' for my journey, no one would mind seeing my dog on the plane with me. I wouldn't have to worry about strangers if she stayed home - no one would dare walk up to me for no reason and say - "Hey! You takes pills? Awwwww... Why? You don't look sick... What could those pills possibly do for you." I refuse to take pills that will effect my BRAIN, LIFE and MOOD for attacks which I get, that only last seconds -yet are incredibly frightening. Poppy pulls me out- calms me down. Helps me breath- PILL FREE.. once over and I can catch my breath again, function - I don't need any pills in my system wearing me down. For what? Whom? To make life easier for others? There are little ones far worse off than I am that would be doing more if WE learned to tolerate more. Getting out with their (well behaved) service /therapy animals.. It's been proven many people carry just as many IF not more allergens on their clothing than my Poppy will on her tiny body for our flight. You know how I feel about Service dogs.. pets in general- is there anything more calming for many of us than a cat who sits on our lap & purrrrrrssssss. They help with PTSD and old aged - Pets keep many of us Going. Pets are fantastic for kids - especially kids with no friends. Just like I might not agree with fidget spinners in the classroom - I don't personally know any children off hand they assist - I WILL BE the first person who will tell you - let's try it BEFORE pills! Anything over pills for our kids. Fidget spinners spin! I saw a cute photo, it was a pencil with a wooden ruler on the top 'the original fidget spinner' lol Remember? Who did not spin it on top of the pencil.. or doodle. Encourage doodling! Lets not get me started on medical cannabis. YES, I do wish and pray more parents & Dr.s start to investigate this before pills. Cannabis has never been responsible for a death- let me ask you- Do you think Storm was the only kid, nope- it's been 10 years + and I know many kids- many who dose MUCH HIGHER than I - have any died from cannabis? No. I have never restricted my sons medical intake. ALL of these choices are PROVEN to help children & adults YET society as a whole would rather not be inconvenienced, we'd rather each other Pop a pill into a mouth of body- (especially another body) and move on. FEATHERS that! Come on - the USA is NOW the leading country in drug overdoes. With a new generation of addicts following fast at their heels. ;( opiate addiction is at an ALL TIME HIGH- and by giving kids pills at an early age - we are teaching them they NEED them to function- it's inevitable they are the next addicts. The next walking dead. Not me, I'll be walking my dog. I'm not a Dr. and I 'GET' this. Still teachers, family members and Dr.s who spend very little time with our children * with the exception of course* are readily to offer advice and prescriptions. Parents overworked, over stressed, exhausted and worried don't think long term. Many can hardly think about the weeks groceries with so much going on. IF OUR children had the CHOICE & they should (I am so thankful to God for giving Storm his defiant stance towards medication when he was little) it is THEIR little bodies which will be affected after all. Long term. I know what most would choose.. I bet you can guess too! NOT PILLS. With Love G A couple of days off.. ;) xox I read that quote and it made me laugh.
True. It' takes the taste out of everything. I love Charles Schulz for numerous reasons... this is just one more. Honesty. Unrequited love can come from many directions, family friends included, not just 'love interests'. Not everyone is going to love us. Seeing as I don't necessarily 'like a few humans myself'... I get it. Oh well, Not much we can do about it. It does not last... after spring is summer. I hoped to 'catch the quote' in the painting. Someone loves us. My son loves me! Poppy Too! lol God loves me - it's all I need & a dogs or two for company.. bears. Wait until you see Broadway bear painting, he hangs by my desk and makes me SMILE! I've re-arranged my office so I cannot see my computer. Less Distraction. More painting. I can only see PIN and IG on my iPad (like my lingo) I can't surf or check e mail. Trees - I need trees.... right now - with the leaves just budding'. Amen. I have too much on my mind... to do anything but paint. Broadway bear already has me smiling again anyhow... nothing like a good dose of Gene Kelly! Painting bears I'll be. For Now. With Love g At last my love has come along! The only love I need.. Cannabis
It's perfect for long walks - on the beach or in the woods. It makes me feel better when blue.. It inspires creativity! Help ease my physical & mental pain... Rose colored glasses? No thanks, I'll take green. Just a little painting/glitter fun- Editorial tomorrow Regarding our new Cannabis Regulations in Canada... are you F*cing kidding me? Sounds like an American politician made some of these rules. https://www.instagram.com/p/BTYzrMPgYVn/?taken-by=georgia.toons ^^^ For a little video of this piece & NOTE > Listen to 'Bird' in the background! LOL he loves this song me too. At last. With Love g Editorial cartoon regarding New Canadian Cannabis regulations Tomorrow. Bear is back in the cave. Sculpting- to put it nicely.
My last Dr.s visit I was told: I can't help you anymore. Brain surgery, radiation, botox injections, opiates... not guaranteed to work- any of it. "Life has no Guarantees.." "no, but it's my life and with no guarantees, I'm the one going through it all, and it's NO piece of cake. I still do not feel 'right' since the last, can you guarantee it won't make me worse?" "no.." The rest is not important... stuff I will deal with & rise above. The main thing I deal with DAILY is being zapped - countless times- GO AHEAD even try to judge me... Until you live this life OR anyones life first hand- think what you want but you can not KNOW unless you live it. Having 'others struggle' with it - has become a JOKE! What a life lesson, I AM surrounded by cowards. People who pretend to care but show you the opposite with their constant repeated actions. Simple. All it has done is put everyone on the same level, this is a good thing. Powerful really. Is there anyone out there who could make me feel differently- I doubt it. I came home and was only able to draw the silly coconut card', I was giddy - ? It took bear a couple of days to emerge. Expectantly. Lots of painting, thinking... How does one live like this? Anger, frustration - it has me questioning EVERYthing and everyone. Regrettably or reassuringly, it seems again to again pushed me to a new plateau where I care less about others and their excuses and uneducated opinions & lies. I can't walk without THIS F*cking thing triggering- I can't eat, smile or have a normal conversation - SO F*CK OFF!!! You who are having a bad hair day, or a few wrinkles, sagging boobs, 20 pounds too many, bad mood.. - please... - boo hoo hooey. I had one female FRIEND (?) recently send me an e mail "Tomorrow- I'll come get you and well go out! " Yippie!! I got up, showered, dressed up - looking good, excited and waited - she never showed or called.. not even a day later- when I contacted her, her response - "oh, I was having a bad day" that was it. Done. Over. F*ck off ... you, I do NOT need friends like this in my life, it does not make it richer - lol. Surround yourself with those who raise you up. I get up everyday paint, read, research and try to make a difference. Do I stay in bed and cry? NO - Even though I have a good reason most days. & STILL I am living my life for others. Staying where I do not want to BE anymore. Dogs can figure it out and show more love than most humans. Living my life for others, what other expect of me- those days are DONE. Today - I will start BEARS ADVENTURE! I'm not WAITING for ANYONE! A friend has invited me to see GEORGIA at the AGO ! YES! The exhibition opened today, we will go in a couple of weeks. I have never seen a real Georgia painting and I am SO EXCITED! I might have to go alone too- just so I can sit and stare for a few hours. lol I might try to go this night also: www.ago.net/my-faraway-one “It takes courage to be a painter. I always felt I walked on the edge of a knife.” ` GEORGIA O'KEEFFE Amen, I could have said it better Georgia. This Bear is dedicated to all who HUNT FOR SPORT... humans and animals. Bears killed for fun? I don't understand it. To hunt to kill a helpless animal - NOT because you are starving makes you the inferior animal. COWARDs with s scope. Human who hunt for sport 'other humans' either to feed their EGO or libido are no better, cowards with a scope - usually called the internet. With Love Georgia next.. more #cannabisofcourse As you know I draw & send cards.. they make me SMILE, Perhaps you have received one.. I painted a card titled: "the Dr. said.." & pondered. I worked on a NEW really nice quality 'water color paper sketchbook '- 'it feels sensational to sketch in'.. each painting is a mini story which unfolds as the reader glances slowly across the page and is captivated then flabbergasted! lol Storm sure was. You will see the first but not all of them, not the complete second! I'll save it for a select few. It made me laugh out loud when I painted it & Storm just shook his head - lol! You see a hint below to understand 'where I am going with it.' You might not know what I was thinking about... I was thinking about 'cavemen & evolution', to be honest. It's my new 'wrap your head around shit book' & think about what MAKES ME happy book - or not - paint it out book- one side a little more serious than the other or not.. lol I have been incredibly creative 'Dorothy, 4/20 art, a couple of single panel editorial cartoons thinking about President Trump, I actually feel concerned for him, he is on a downward spiral, I don't understand impeachment, but it does not read well. They must all be under a sensational amount of stress & then I remind myself- it does not matter - What control do we have over it? At the moment it's important I get back to thinking about things that make us SMILE - I'm on an old MOVIE kick- Dorothy- I'll show you her soon * & what triggered the idea. Do you have movie that can make you laugh out loud guaranteed, several times? I do. I rented it and watched it 3 times on netflix the other day. I LOL every time, it's a musical with dance numbers! A classic - a hint - I LOVE Gene Kelly - I've blogged about him before - he is by far the Cream of the Crop imo & what a man. Looks, talent- drive, creativity, persistence, charm, wit - hard to feathering find now a days! I'm not sure he exists. I know he does not... not my 'complete version' - I never knew him, 'the man' personally so I'm not aware of his flaws. Are you? Who cares - That ass! lol I'm painting some really inspired work - I don't want to ruin the surprise! Tomorrow- 4/20 almost! - With Cannabis becoming legal and ALL being able to grow it, it reminds me of when I remarked to a good friend (Kat) a while back - "Cannabis will be legal & all will grow it & we will see it in our life time!" Her response tomorrow: 4/20 art on 4/20. with Love Georgia <>< 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 Georgia I need to update..
Let me start by saying today was a fantastic morning when I woke up! Naturally, slowly like most normal people.. Not being zapped awake by this intense internal alarm clock. Jolts. My jolts are increasing & very visual. You can see them in photos, to be 'witnessing' them is another story - let's just say Poppy never seems to be an issue any longer. Please do not judge people with service dogs - IF the dog is behaving - why not mind your business? Well Behaved pets. should be permitted to assist their owners if needed. I don't know how to explain other than- I constantly feel electrically prodded. To put it mildly. A smile will set 'it' off as easily as a frown, 'riding them out' seems easier when smiling, so I try. ;) I't's become more frequent & Brain surgery must be discussed. It's hard to - again. Already it has me in a 'frenzy' and I apologize for it. Several times a day I wonder for a few seconds - will I survive this - it's changed my thinking.. when people say: it will happen in five years - my brain clicks - '5 years? Who has 5 years?' It just does. I must accept this. I'll be trying to educate as I've researched, it's more common in women over 50 and becoming more frequent! Are you reading? I hope so. No PILLS! & NONE FOR YOUR children unless as a LAST Resource. I have tried to push my own son away lately so he does not have to witness this happening to his mom all the time. I intentionally PUSH people away. Fear helps me. Storm is luring me already with a 'Bird Kingdom' visit in the near future! He was showing me photos this morning! Then he said: they jolt them to make them fly for you - for your photos..." and he grinned. lol They do NOT! Fake news. "we'll call and find out when few kids will be there" he reassures me. ;) Its too distracting other wise.. This blog has people fooled. Or does it? I've thought I've been pretty open & honest. If you don't follow faithfully, I guess you might think I was o.k.. Thankfully, Storm installed a program for me that checks as you type everything or I would STOP - It's too frustrating. People Judge. I can paint, chill laugh hang out with a few in real life & in my imagination. Norm and I are getting a divorce, as soon as the Universe allows. We NO longer seem to be able to even interact at all. The sooner the better- I need to take more time for SERIOUS house hunting. IF I can find a place and leave before I need to have 'anything done', thats the plan. I'm also hoping to attend Spannabis in Milan in October. I told Josh I'll meet him there with my sketchbook. E MAIL No e mail for a while... I won't be communicating. Several of you - ( I believe you know who you are - feel free to contact me to say "Hi" Other than that... Sorry, (theres that Canadian thing) I won't set in motion any conversations for a bit. All e mail is read. Focus. Do good along the way. Make others smile even if you cannot. Things become lost in translation with e mail anyway. I must do what I feel necessary day to day as life presents itself. With Love Georgia back to business tomorrow.. & the new company- UCCC... 'My saving Grace' at the moment in many ways. I thank God for it. Look at the photo I was sent this morning! Every time I look at it I BURST into SMILE! ;) |
