Take it slow like this sweet little sloth...   frig he's sweet, if I do say so. Take it slow.. baby steps until you know & there is much opportunity for knowledge- thanks to many!  Those who have ventured before us - Thank you.   Psilocybin use has I noticed those who share & those who don't.  I don't care what you do,  I have Trigeminal neuralgia I wouldn't wish it on TRUMP ( you know how I feel about him) It's on the increase- especially in women -If I did not share that I am getting at least some 'mental relief' thank God  - from Psilocybin I'd be ashamed of myself! This cold weather is brutal- this cold hits my face like a frozen shovel - I will NOT leave my home... which will make for a boring birthday tomorrow - expected -26 winds- forget it - I invited  one person to spend the day with me tomorrow, I'll get out of my PJ's just in case! hee hee hee  It won't be boring! I have my girls and painting & crafts & then some - excited for each day - pain included. 

I wait for Crusty Rusty to call - he's RIGHT again! & he told me from day one "Jane Philpott doesn't know what the fuck she is doing and can't handle the job!"  TADA!  Good... leave- anyone who quits like this WE DO NOT NEED representing us. She lost confidence in Trudeau- Phhhbt.. she's using Trudau as a scapegoat. Good riddance. Adios - shuffle along. All 'this' will make Justin Trudeau a stronger, better man it already has. I tell my own son all the time "thank those who 'challenge you' or piss you off'  they teach you more  & (and quicker) than you realize... because I know my sons a good man and although not perfect - he will continue to learn from life & not let it stop him from succeeding & be better because of it.  I know this about Justin too...  change is good- Justin is not going anywhere.

Yesterday a gift arrived & I don't think he knew it's my "birthday week" lol  My friend Stephen Boeheme Glass artist sent me a Musrhoom pendant - that is hand wire wrapped & I got  dressed today- just so I could wear it!  The girls are envious LOL - I LOVE IT!
Wow,  this American pal continually restores my faith in good people (I'm blessed to know a few of You who DO)   I am absolutely touched by this gift - I had me speechless.  NOW -
I can't wait for foray season- I can't wait for nice weather- gonna rock this pendant EVERY DAY! When it arrived I held it to the window to see it in the sunlight on it - Poppy was all over it and she looked and me and the feeling was mutual,  (we speak telepathically btw)  ;)  "that was the nicest gesture mom,   you are surrounded by such wonderful, creative loving beings..." I know Poppy... I know.   He actually sent me TWO mushrooms! What a glass collection I have - they have ALL been gifts of love from several & I look at them EVERY day.  The attention in the details - the little bags they came in (orange octopus) are also lovely!  Bravo Stephen - No wonder you were just awarded 1st place for the best Millie in 2019! Well deserved.

The sloth was painted in Timelapse - you can see it if you follow my Instagram account - IG by the way - last week in one day my account dropped 30 people...  in an hour, wtf?  
My thought... FUCK IG, playing with people like that - the next day the numbers were back  30 an although I constantly have people requesting to follow' each day the numbers decline.. lol - who cares the same crap happened when I was on FB. It went from 15,000 t0 7,000 overnight.   It's just a game - don't get distracted by numbers'  
    
When God want's my work to be seen- it will be seen. 
I am confident in the Lord more than Social Media.  :) Hee hee!

There's more important things/events/history being made than my paintings OR social media in this world that we ALL need to 'see' so we can change it.  ​Slowly if need be.

That's ALL that counts.  <><
For those of you that do tho... thank you! & Thank you Stephen.

Ginger is one of my favorite spices, I like candied ginger, ginger root slice in a cup of tea. Ginger can be sweet & HEAT... this little Ginger pup of ours is at that' age where constant curiosity has kicked in - when it get's too quiet I go look for her - I know she's up to something, usually she's looking out the front window but occasionally she's into something she shouldn't like digging up a potted plant in the kitchen, stealing peanuts from the bluejays and eating them on the carpet, helping Scruff - de-stuff all over the living room.. it's all new but once she is told "NO!" she get's it.  
Ginger is smart, I can tell by how she watches T.V and our facial expressions and she is into my breathing! Today I was reading about those 7 kids who died in the fire & started breathing fast, crying a few silent tears (Poppy & Ginger sleeping on my lap) and she freaked out and start jumping at my face trying to kiss me, I realized she's right.  
Me sitting here crying won't help those poor babies or mom.  One dad kills his daughter last week and one nearly dies trying to save his children.

I purposely take a  anti-inflammatory pill & throw it not he floor and yell "NO!" the second she moves to it... again a bit closer "NO!", closer "NO!"  Then I let her sniff and say "YUK" make a exaggerated disgusted face and "NO!" again until she 'gets it. I can now do this with a piece of bacon on the kitchen floor and no one touches it (including Norm - hahaha). In the beginning she would snatch stuff & RUN! & we would all be looking at her in shock - but I know she came from an environment that had several dogs and she also use to hide behind pillows  & stuff when too much barking happened - she's RIGHT upfront now. 

She's not fond of strangers- she likes everyone but is not overly friendly so that's good, already she won't run out the front door if you stand there with it open - none of my girls do but they bark. Barking is saying hello, warning  and protecting but barking to bark- she has this high pitch howl bark - we are working on it now, she's old enough to learn when barking is acceptable; I did notice the other day just the stern "NO!"  had her running - which made me laugh - she turns to see this and it's become a big joke.  It's hard to be angry at this little beast, she loves me snd amuses us ALL - all the time.  I gave up yesterday when painting, she wanted some loving and is BORED of winter & the cold... us too, unlike her we know Spring is only 27 days away! Hang in there.    

Soon I'm painting Ginger & Poppy, Ginger does this thing- I tell anyone who will listen -(like a proud mom-lol) she has 3 babies she brings to me when she wants to snuggle it's comical & incredibly sweet It's hard to carry one inner mouth so often she makes 3 trips but  she always brings the raccoon to bed guaranteed & it's so cute- EVERY single time it makes me smile & thank GOD  for yet 'ANOTHER wonderful DOG'  in our lives.   Please consider adopting a dog if you do not have one, with LOVE  & some caring you too will have a friend like this... that's all dogs care about imo. love.      As I type she has brought me her baby and is looking up like she does - time to go play with the girls before we spend time with the octopus.

Kids NEED pets.  ;) Adults too.

Next - my Alcoholic octopus. ;) & sneak peek below- of the octopus painting in progress.

I started  new painting! (forgot to show you yesterday)   ^  this is it!  
It's already progressed some since this photo, I was 'lost' last night painting it - thank GOD.  When everything becomes overwhelming there is no better escape (for me) than to go paint & in particular a canvas with acrylic is  more difficult/challenging than working at my desk with gouache - after painting this background & I started painting something new - there was a point that I thought- what have I just done!?  lol  I know many artists have this feeling when painting.. but you keep going and then you get to the 'next stage I am currently at & you CAN'T wait to get back painting at it as soon as possible...   it's an octopus in case you're wondering  on an adventure at the bottom of the sea... with a twist (of course). 

I've read about the new dispensaries opening in April, so far I liked the 'names' of a couple..  I believe one is called "The Honey Pot"  (neat play on words), how exciting  is cannabis in Canada now?  I also saw a mural painted in a new vape lounge in Aurora opening soon no doubts - I do not know the logistics around this sort of thing- I'm sure it is  still to be worked out but definitely something you're going to see popping up ALL OVER. One future dispensaries location is in 'Yorkville' in Toronto-  for those not aware hearing  this instantly brings $$$$$ to mind. If it's in Yorkville - you'll be paying top dollars for that budding experience...  & this is how it's meant to be.  There will be something for everyone - just like there's a choice from  McDonalds to a fine 5 star restaurant - if you got it,  you should be able to choose where you spend it, no?  
​& just like the two extremes - I'm excited to see & hopefully sample the many DIFFERENT experiences available to us soon.  NOW, as soon as we get this marketing bullshit out of the way- I KNOW there has to be a big company out there ready to take this to court- it's discrimination.  That or they will just wait- because common sense & $$$ will tell us - it's time.   If you're worried about your children & cannabis - SPEAK to them. Education is key, no lies please.. 

The only advice I'd offer someone younger regarding cannabis (because I know it's safer than alcohol) is:  Please do not drive or do anything until you know how cannabis effects you & this is NOT because of cannabis impairment' but because there are many already impaired drivers on the road to contend with - impaired by alcohol, cell phones & I've been researching - one of the worst problems on the road  right NOW is (an not on the road) LACK OF SLEEP!    ​How are we going to  address that problem?
Other than that - I would encourage cannabis over alcohol & other drugs, especially opiates - YES, many still like opiates to get HIGH (it's still problem - one that kills).  Only 29 days to spring and not long after that - you can celebrate by visiting a dispensary.
Excited?   I am.

This painting was just going to be a quick play with paint.... it ended up being a bit longer & as always I loved every second - I just realized I didn't do any bubbles! Oh well,   it will remain as is I'm already mentally' on the next and equally as excited! Inspired by a photo of pink coral, while painting I watched Blue Planet on netflix  - how magnificent is this world of ours so much of it we can only see in part thanks to amazing photographers who venture the deep to show us a different world in our world.  Global warming has me wondering if we will only be able to see fish in aquariums int he future... I hope not. lol - I told Norm last week  "you're taking a day off and we are going to Ripley's!" but the weather that day was a brutal (-23 so forget that!) instead we went to BigAls and ran a few errands - it was a nice BURST of tropical & I was grateful for it - with it I purchased Mr.Limpet who's crib sits on my desk ;)  I like looking up, seeing him calmly swim around the coolest little betta tank ever imo - thanks to Stephen Boehme - both eyes open - i am reminded to complete another task today! 

Do you see all the fish hiding? I especially like the little blue fish... fyi there are over 40 fish in this painting.

Jesus makes me LOL every day- I don't care what people 'think', I have a great relationship' with my homeboy and it puts me at peace better than a weighted blanket  (hee hee)  yesterday he reminded me how 'close' by son & I are... I was thinking about Storm as he's been incredibly busy, go figure - so we've not seen him much and never know when he will visit & yesterday i was in the kitchen -I had literally JUST made a pizza dough - bacon in the pan - fresh homemade pizza in a couple of hours,  (Norm made the best homemade fish & chips I've ever had on the weekend, so I have to step it up)  music on, dogs watching, glass of wine - what could make it more perfect as i prepared our dinner?  
In walks Storm! "Perfect, we're having HOME made pizza tonight!"
His reply:  "No way!" & disappeared back out to his truck-  in he brought a NEW pizza rolling pin! It's all one- very comfortable on my hands - how cool was that?  Sadly, I have no pizza left over today - he took them all when he left! lol      Somethings never change.
It was  a perfect pizza night. 

It's a storm today & I can feel it my hands had me in tears  just from frustration & pain as soon as I was up,  medicated heavily already I'll snuggle & read this day until my hands warm up.  As long as I can paint...  I will thank God every day - for 'all' of it.  
Time for a new canvas - I have been painting EVERY day but I don't show them because I like the recipients to see them first in person'.    :)

​LOVE is on my mind - I think a few valentines are needed!

This year my Christmas gift to 'me' was to paint a gift for someone else...  a young man who uses Cannabis for his medicine. I was  upset thinking he wouldn't get it on time due to the recent postal strike but Canada Post came through! Thank you!   Thank you. Thank you.

I follow on Instagram:  SBSK  special books for special kids . I love these two that travel the world interviewing others with disabilities,  God has this young man doing what he is meant to do - the love he (they) continually displays for everyone they interview - if the world had more like him we would be much better off.   I do have an understanding of what it feels like for parents to have a child with a serious illness - they deal with more than you will ever comprehend, lots you definitely do NOT see on social media.  

I would like, if possible to brighten their lives - if I can & have in the past for a few children & parents, Jamies mom & I still text regular on Instagram and I am forget inspired meeting my little rocket man  (in space with his dog)  so when I read about Tres on SBSK I sent his mom a message asking: What did he like?  Her reply: dinosaurs.   That was all I needed & I knew he already used cannabis so I took a couple of days and put love into every brush stroke and I was pretty pleased when finished, mailed it off JUST last week & he will be opening it Christmas day!  Mom loved it so much she is gong to wrap it and give it to him and will send me a photo, I'm so excited. ;))) !! 

Tres mom sent me a message on instagram when it arrived and I believe I have made a family very happy this Christmas, she said she wanted to cry,  I must admit I became quite emotional when painting Tres,   :) tears of joy - riding a dinosaur - I imagined the fun he would have, it made me smile countless times - time well spent.   I thanked Tres mom for the opportunity to paint her beautiful son - that is all I see.   
A beautiful family. Tres mom is trying to educate on her son's illness with her instagram page, I get that too.   *Understanding eliminates IGNORANCE -  sometimes ignorant people are  Fucking CRUEL. Fact.

I think about who  I paint while working & the more I looked at Tres photo (hours) the more I thought he is truly a beautiful boy & was able to capture' what I wanted.. Tres having a great time on back of that  big happy dinosaur, happy to be together, see it in the clouds.  I was also very amused and happy that his two older brothers also want paintings on dinosaurs now! lol That too had me smiling all day.

Someone not long ago remarked  I was 'ugly & anyone would be ashamed to be seen with me',  well aware of my disability,  I am a 54 year old woman who knows better - but it still effected me, more than I care to admit.  When painting Tres, I thought again of these hateful remarks & at first I could feel my hairs stand on end as mamabear growled within  & then it was if  a calm  weight suddenly  gave me a warm hug  - See them for what they are & understand the only thing you can feel for people who think  like that is: PITY.      
                                   
If you only 'see' a disability you are blind. 

Painting Tres gave me strength & enjoyment. 
Tres reminded me what I love to do & what's REALLY important to me.
Tres  has inspired me to keep going - face forward - head held high!  Pun intended.
Tres & his family are an example of LOVE 
My gift to me - because Tres reminded I am beautiful & I am grateful to him & his Family for the knowledge & education, my gift to me.

Yep, I'm enjoying these one to one painting sessions.  I think I'll continue, each becoming more enjoyable I had another friend who mentioned to me one day: I've never painted.  Gasp! How can this be?  lol  So, I invited her over to learn how to paint  & it was quite the success for her FIRST painting if I do say so.   Holy!
So many of you are gifted and don't even know it!  

I've decided to offer this to a few people, if you would like to join me to paint - but I've got to have rules, have you seen the movie 'Georgia Rules' - It's true, for me anyhow I need rules to make this the best experience for us both. Want to hear them...   it might help you decide if you want to join me.

Plan on approximately  5 hours & I like to start at 10 a.m.
Be here NOW to paint & learn how to paint... not to get high or gossip.
We stop for Pizza for lunch - no green peppers.
No cell phones.. if you need to look at your phone every 15 minutes or less, stay home.
No tobacco smoking in my home, feel free to join me with a  joint.
You provide the photo you'd like to paint - any subject - my friend wanted to paint a husky  with my suggestion to turn it into a christmas card and forcing a imagined twist to the photos.
All I ask is you  TRY,  follow my directions  step by step to create a masterpiece.

I supply - all supplies for you to leave with a finished painting & instruction on the next steps should you want to continue painting. 
You supply snacks - I prefer healthy & enjoy also baked goods & cookies.
You must like dogs  BUT listen to me when I ask you to: ignore my dogs.
I choose our painting music, dress in comfortable clothing  so you won't mind if you get paint on them or dog hair... mostly paint.
You allow me to share our images of the  experience & finished product on  my Social Media 
​ so people can see, I am still being social & you learned to paint! 
Express an interest in painting.

Let me know if you are interested (e me) ...  I'll book an available date & we shall create!  

I've actually invited a few friends that would travel quite the distance, that lesson includes a say in the guest room..  in progress.  Painting is proven to calm, heal, help people express themselves, inspire & more - learn a new hobby, there is no time like NOW!
Create, use your brain & heart instead of letting the TV use them. 
I watched the DOC: The Red Pill.  My opinion: Do not waste your time.

More Chritsmas & cananbis next!
​I can hardly contain this 'Christmas feeling' this year.

Ho Ho Ho! Santa makes his appearance in parades all over - not sure whom I love more reindeer  or Santa! lol  In Canada Santas reindeer eat Hemp - good for the heart! 
It's all about Christmas now- or rather the Christmas spirit...  not stuff.
It's about baking gingerbread! Decorating the tree (& outside for us) & painting all things ..
the postal strike is over & I have presents to mail - all over!
Paintings for a select few of my friends. 

I've ordered Candied orange peels for Christmas goodies & a girlfriend is coming to help me bake next week! Although December is still a week away- it will come & go before you know it...  so time to get in the Spirit! 

This year instead of giving away a painting to just anyone - I chose someone to paint for & I am very pleased with my gift! It's being mailed today to an America friend I met on IG, Im excited for them to get it because I painted MUCH love into it... as I do with everything.
IF you are expecting a mail/package from me - PLEASE be patient, ho knows how long anything will take with the mail due to the strike backlog.  
​
What are your plans for today? Put some love in it!

This by far one of the best weekends I've had in a while starting with Friday morning breakfast & day with Storm & ending with a painting session in my studio with Madison.  
The Original cricket Club member!  & as I look at her photo holding her flamingo  a smile crosses my face because it seems like yesterday she was in pony tails and we where getting ready to go swimming, play with Larry - the gecko - make some thing incredibly cool - like a lady bug flower pot wind chime! When I taught kids in the studio  was by far some of the best days of my life.  I've blogged about Madison before, it was nothing new to have a kid ask if they could stay over and be my helpers - which was something I could use (kids & crafts = mess)  especially when I was offering full days  in the summers, it was a great way for me to offer families with more than one kid - free classes in exchange also. I had repeat clients & some with 3 or more kids - and I understood how expensive things could get.  ;)  

I couldn't believe when I saw Madisons incredibly cute baby on instagram! Time flies & it is 'the time' because she's not the only kid I taught having children' - it's so fun & amazing to witness -  I can't resist as I think - hahaha- I shall teach them all crafts, wait till they are older - do I have stories for them - "Your mom ate a cricket!"  "Your dad use to pick his nose with his pencil & show us  because he thought it was hilarious", "Your dad brought his pet Duck everywhere!"... "Your pet pig ate you moms fancy high heels and she nearly had him for breakfast & that is why you are at this last second  craft class! (so mom can cool down)"   lol  Oh my gosh  I'm giggling..  - when he/she was 8.  
How did this happen.. time flies.

& time flew on Sunday, I lost all track as we sat, painted flamingos & discussed all from birth, babies to buds.  I was of course happy to hear Madison is educated on cannabis but I knew she had gone to school, finished her education & has a career, married & now a baby! Life - as it is.. she continues to be educated, passionate & creative and that smile makes me think she's 12 again eating a grasshopper - just so we would get on with he craft!  How blessed am I that Madison visited and painted - 15 years later - wow.  ;)  Now a MOM herself, a beautiful little baby girl  4 months - I remember how difficult those times could be - not as peachy as social media portrays it to be for sure.  Madison has a terrific family, husband & friends- I've no doubts she will be a great mom - wait until she teaches her daughter how to paint, what a lucky little girl.

When the kids were little I'd usually ask each of them - "What do you want to be when you grow up""   I often heard "an art teacher, like you!"  It's true - we had fun & created many masterpieces in this basement...  I of course took all of them for their word - lol  so when I hear,  when I ask NOW: Are you still painting, still working with art?  
and the reply is "No."  I usually say something - like "Well that's a waste of a talent!"  lol
and they are not shocked.. they usually laugh and hopefully they pick up a sketch book later.
I saw it! I can see the talent in kids & adults still - it's  energy.  

Once we sketched our birds & I explained acrylic paint and how I paint - she did 'her thing... just like then she was 12 - I admired it then & NOW.  Don't forget to do your thing! 
I remember her brother & sister too- those were not always perfect situations because siblings still have a tendency to aggravate each other- even at summer camp. These kids were all talented and  lovely little humans & still are today - even if they don't make  signs that say "Reindeer parking here!"   & I'd also give that credit to mom & dad who were two very hard working parents & always put the kids first.
Kids & parents, thank you - Time of my life.

I absolutely enjoyed every moment painting with Madison and she is welcome to join me again.  I be neat to get all the cricket club kids - over for a painting classes and bong session ;) hee hee  
Grateful doesn't begin to describe how I feel about my life most days.

ME! That's who!! 
I'm so excited to see how creative Canada is going to  be with marketing Cannabis!  
This boring packaging has got to go! I realized it won't be long now when I went to my LOCAL WALMART  today - and noticed the POP isle is NOW the BEER & craft BEER ISLE!  You can buy it from 9 a.m. to .. I think 9. YeeeHaw. 
There you go...  There was a construction guy staring at it just like me in AMAZEMENT  lol  I turned and said to him: Welcome to America!
He looked and me, laughed and said: YEP!
YEP, there it is.  & non -alcohol drinks on the other side so kids will be going down that isle but hey it's WALMART not a cannabis dispensary.  TRY & tell me that cannabis is not going to be permitted to be creative when it is PROVEN less harmful than alcohol- Fuck that!  In the short stroll down the isle I spied an octopus, bright citrus,  bear, beaver, man on a bike... eye catching colors! I LOVE the creativity of small craft Beer.  Yep.
 "Cheers..  not to be a buzz kill- cannabis is safer in much safer experience."
I do enjoy the occasional Canadian craft beer too I don't drive anywhere and certainly not if I've had alcohol. It's not worth it. Never drive impaired on anything - stay home & cuddle, especially in a snow storm like I witnessed already  today. 
- Arrive Alive is an AWESOME slogan. 
​I hope we don't develop the same 'gun happy mentality.. coming to a Walmart near you - look how that's playing out - I can't keep up with the shootings - can you?
More on Guns next and IGNORANT - SELFISH - HUNTERS.

This is not right, not fair for the cananbis industry & it's NEXT to change- because we have already proven we are not going to turn into the land of Cannazombies' quite the opposite & we should be permitted as consenting adults to pick what brand we like for what ever reasons - I can't wait to see the CREATIVITY! If not I hope someone sues the gov for... freedom of expression in this HIGHLY competitive  WORLD wide  market... come on Canada! 

Who is excited? Me! lol   I love Birds and decided to paint this majestic Great Canadian Horned Owl guarding the cannabis fields  (& tiny gardens) growing all over Canada.  Animal can be our best alarms - Geese are known to be louder and 'honk more than guard dogs and very protective about their property.  Birds, cats, dogs - creatures helping us in just one more way.  My son visited as it was on the easel & said he "wanted it", he does not often ask for my art so it is his.. as soon as I get on a clear coat - off to it's new home it will go - painted with TLC & THC!  I've ben painting so much I  feel like I've reached a new level- the one that says: THIS is it! Isn't this fun!?  Every new canvas is a new adventure... I'm no Bateman but I sure am having a blessed time  & incredibly thankful.   lol  
​I crank the tunes & sing with the dogs (howl)  as I paint the day into evening - it's a bonus when Storm visits and NOW hangs out with me in my painting space. 
Time to paint!

The Owl needs a clear coat- the night sky POPs!  The detail in the cannabis is extensive- you can't see it here - Who like Owls? I do! 
​I'm thrilled he is going to Storm - He will keep an eye on things! lol 

It's 5:30 and so dark...   

Years ago when it was announced a cannabis company bought the Hershey's chocolate factory - I thought : How  cool is that? hee hee hee! Weeeeeee   & instantly I thought of Willy Wonka! lol  It's probably my age & I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought this way... it was perfect.  Is perfect - what a great start to the Canadian cannabis journey!  

Tweed is the company and I've no doubts they are celebrating this past week plus. 
A cannabis company in a chocolate factory -  with EDIBLES soon available in Canada - next April, I read Tweed is opening a chocolate factory!  It makes me laugh just thinking about it, and let's face it - you know they will do it right! I LOVE medicate dark chocolate, I love all medicate chocolate- white, milk and dark.   Oompa Loompa revival!  Wouldn't it be fun if all the trimmers had to wear Ompa loompa costumes (fun for us not them) - lol,  so it really was no struggle for me to paint this- quite the opposite, imagining all the Oompa Loompas trimming the weed as they sing was very enjoyable.  
I've done my share of trimming, it's work.

The downfall was I can't get the song out of my head now...
"Oompa loompa doopity dooo.. I have some fresh trimmed bud for you!"
Anyway - a friend calls me a 'traitor' simply for painting this- to which I say: Phhhhhbt.... 
It's time Canada for celebration all around - who cares 'who' is doing what! As long as it's getting done & by Canadians - making history!  There are options NOW available to all - some will have incredible experiences some not so much- this happens everywhere in every business.  Tweed also saved a small town - once the chocolate factory is open I bet tourism will be booming again!  I HOPE our own mayor is paying attention  when deciding wether or not to even allow a dispensary- if you don't YOU are throwing cash to other towns. You are also FORCING your own community to drive impaired, having to go elsewhere for goods & services & shopping.. and eating. 

The only 'ones' I do not support in the industry are those who were previous pill pushers making millions off of deadly drugs - now turned cannabis supporters, I would also not encourage anyone to buy from Shoppers Drug mart- remember when they said cannabis was a serious mistake.. I do.  Do some research- where you put your money is where you place your faith.  Faith in great product & company & PEOPLE who run them.  

I've never purchased from Tweed (or anyplace else) my son looks after me,  but I do know several who work(ed) for the company & they are all outstanding in their field - haha   so when people ask me- I mention a few places including Tweed - come on ! A chocolate factory!?? What's not cool & fun about that fact alone!?  I hope all hardworking, kind, compassionate people do well in this industry  - I don't care who they work for.  
It's that simple.

& if ever get out that way- I would love to visit the Chocolate factory turned cannabis factory! I'm grateful Tweed helped change history and educates many just like every other cannabis advocate.   It's time to celebrate! This painting was pure pleasure - and had me giggling just to think of sharing it with a few friends who work there- lol  I hope they have fun with the chocolate factory. Perhaps NOT 'lickable wall paper - but how about scratch & sniff your favourite bud?  Everlasting gobstoppers - I'm excited to see what they create!

Does anyone remember Moe's medibles - man that was good chocolate!! One time I had a strawberry dipped in a chocolate fountain- it was the best ride home that day.. Storm was laughing at me the entire way.

Oh Canada - I love you.

Dear America VOTE - so I can love you again too...
I still do, just not that pussy grabbing DONkey running the show at the moment or his policies & practices.

What to paint next? I don't know...  It will be fun that I'm positive of and I will consume much cannabis while I do, that I am sure of too!
