Cannabis — This Buds For You

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

Be quiet Suzy, this is serious

As a connoisseur of fine Cannabis for more than fifty years —

What? Of course, I lived in a state where it was legalized half a century ago — of course! Gees you guys!

Now, where was I? Oh, I remember — I am here to inform, educate, and remind people that now, in 18 states it is legal to buy and enjoy the tasty herb.

PSA — In those states where pot is now legal, the crime rate has not increased due to Cannabis use unless accompanied by alcohol. In fact, people seem to be more polite, driving slower, and the restaurants are fuller.

Okay maybe I’m making this stuff up but it sounds logical to me.

I do know the state coffers are filling up with tax revenue from the once-demonized weed. This money is helping to fund many different, important, and vital programs in each state.

Not to mention how research has shown that many of the chemicals found in the Marijuana plant are highly medicinal — helping a vast variety of maladies and are non-addicting.

I was diagnosed with epilepsy in 1970 when I was 15 years old — now, I’m just old! I grew up in the hippie era, back then smoking pot was the in thing to do.

After battling epilepsy and dealing with many grand mal seizures, at 17 I found Cannabis and thank my lucky stars and great friend David, for such a huge favor.

Marijuana does not prevent a grand mal monster from visiting me, but it does help with my recovery. It may take days to even a week before I can call myself human again after my personal melee is over.

**The Road to Recovery** Drawing by the author.

The inside of my mouth — especially my tongue — is chewed up and sore. Usually, my head has cuts, bruises, and bumps on it. Then the inspection of my limbs reveals how much of my skin has been scraped away.

The head pounding against the ground is the worst injury of all— a concussion! It also takes the longest to heal. I have had so many head-banging headaches I lost count decades ago.

The healing process begins with a healthy dose of my meds, a glass of cold water next to my bed, a couple of good tokes of really good weed for pain, and sleep — lots and lots of sleep.

Yet, I do have more favorite things I like to do than just smoking Cannabis, growing Cannabis is another joy of mine — And yes! Writing and drawing are big-time favorites as well.

Gees — you guys! What do think I am, a big old pot-head?

And an amazing lover too, I’m sure! Tee-Hee! — Yelled out from the Audience

Wow! Okay, who said that? I mean, of course, you’re right — Just raise your hand if it was you.

Damn it, Suzy! I told you this was serious — now, put your hand down!

**So, this is a body high — will it stop?** Drawing by the author.

Peace, Love, and Unconditional Happiness!
