There has constantly been this passion inside myself and others to create. And that’s what I decided to pursue when I went off to university. Of course, I got the speech from our parents about recreational marijuana and alcohol. And truthfully, as speeches go, that was one that I thought was spot on. I had respect for the fact that they both acknowledged that it was up to myself and others to decide when it came to using things love alcohol and recreational marijuana. But at the same time, they also wanted myself and others to realize that our studies and our passion for creating came first. And that’s the way I approached starting out to follow our passion in art. I did end up experimenting with both sativa and indica products when I was in university. And I was astounded to discover that they only enhanced our creative energy. For sure, I didn’t take a deep dive into cannabis and only used it in moderation. But I liked the perspective it brought to our art. Fast forward various decades and I can now report that I’m a full fledged artist with a nice career. I’m now doing all originals after starting out doing some graphic design. And I’m still using sativa strains for sale at the cannabis dispensary to inspire and bring perspective to our art. These afternoons, I don’t even have to leave the studio because I can avail myself of marijuana delivery and just keep working. Although I do love to stop in and say hello to our friends at the local cannabis spot.
