Today I was sitting outside within nature as always smoking some very elevating Cannabis enjoying life.  Despite the rent being due, and the bills creeping up to terrorize and defeat me I rise above.  I do attend to my responsibility but I do find it crucial to spend time out with Mother Earth.  Mother Earth is a healer.  And she will be there for you whenever you need her loving embrace to help heal you from your woes of every day life experiences.

Newlyweeds

Today I did a movie review of the movie Newlyweeds.  When I do movie reviews it goes far and beyond the normal Siskel and Ebert style movie review.  I pull it apart and expose the myriad of stereotypes that exist in one film.  I like to show everyone how Hollywood is misrepresenting the average Cannabis partaker.

If you are a Cannabis Connoisseur you know what I mean.  There are endless words to describe Cannabis smokers.  Certain words are not being used enough when it comes to the average Cannabis partaker.  Spirituality is a word I think of when smell the beautiful strong aroma of Cannabis from a joint or smoked from my bong.  My mind is able to completely relax long enough to take in the positive messages coming from my higher self.

I hope you all are treating yourselves with the respect that you deserve.  And that if Cannabis helps you to remember your life's path thank her each time you inhale and exhale her powerfully beautiful aroma.

Brightest Blessings,

The Cannabis Encyclopedia

I just recently purchased this wonderful book by Jorge Cervantes called The Cannabis Encyclopedia.  It is very comprehensive.  It goes through all the important information every Cannabis enthusiast  wants to know about.  When it comes to learn about growing this beautiful herb this book shows you how to take preventive matters when warding off pests such as spider mites, broad mites and russet mites.  This book shows how to make hash, tinctures and oils and so much more.

Happy reading everyone.

Tolerance Breaks

Me being a Medical Cannabis Patient I don't find it necessary to take tolerance breaks.  It is like telling me not to have a green smoothie everyday.  I feel as though cannabis is a part of my daily regimen in keeping me healthy and focused on what my body, mind and soul needs.

I discuss this issue on my show today  I hope you all take time out to truly enjoy the nourishing benefits of Cannabis.

Tribute To Gene Wilder Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory

Of all of the celebrity deaths that have recently occurred I would have to say that Gene Wilder's passing affected me the most.  He was a part of my childhood memories.  Today I shared my experience of Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory on my youtube channel.  Usually I just host the show called Cannabis in Movies but I felt the need to express my sadness and appreciation for this movie being made.  It helped me to escape from a life of poverty and domestic violence as a little girl.  This movie transported me to a world of endless creativity and hope.

Thank you Gene Wilder for the gift of your sensitive creative energy.  Many people will continue to view this movie and know that this world is more than what it seems.

Cannabis Freeform Dreadlocks Mother Earth Spirit Helpers

On today's show Cannabis and Freeform Dreadlocks I discuss the best way to tap into your true self.  I always promote going out in nature to really get back to what is real.  People still use the term keeping it real.  But do they really know what it is to be real.  So many people are walking around feeling confused and not sure where their life should be at this moment. 

I am here to tell you that the way that I learned to brush off of the negativity regarding those who do not like my freeform dreadlocks or that I smoke cannabis is by getting out within nature as much as possible. I also discuss how I believe that everyone has their own spiritual guidance. This spiritual guidance can be spirit guides, angels, Arch Angel Michael, gods, goddesses and those benevolent beings that serve the purpose of being here on Earth when you call to ask for assistance.

I discussed on today's show how you can compare treatment of those who have Freeform Dreadlocks and those who partake in Cannabis as the same experience.  I still get  negative comments regarding my dreadlocks even though I have had them for 19 yrs now.  And I don't share the fact that I am Medical Cannabis patient with people outside of the internet. 

I have learned that not all people who partake in Cannabis are alike.  Everyone is at a different stage in their life so they are going to not be ready for something to different from the status quo.  Polite society is not my friend.  I think too deeply and care too deeply about the world that  I live in to be consumed with artificiality of the masses.


Thank you all so much for reaching out and asking questions about your life's journey .  Because by asking questions you learn all that you need to know for your purpose here on Earth right here and right now.



Brightest Blessings,

Cannabis as Spiritual Guide

I have had many challenging times so far this year.  I have accepted the wisdom of the Cannabis plant to help aid me in healing from these intense experiences. I smoke this sacred herb to calm myself down.  To slow down the events of the day I go outside.  I meditate within Mother Earth.  Before I partake of this sacred herb I say a prayer of gratitude to the god Shiva, Archangel Michael, my Ancestors, Ganesha, my Spirit Guides, my Guardian Angels, and all of the loving benevolent spirits that protect me in these challenging times.

Cannabis helps me to see just how important it is to see the events in my life with less worry and strife within my heart and soul. Cannabis is a giving and loving herb.  And I want to share this important message to all that want to hear it.


Thank you everyone who has been so supportive.


Om Shanti

Brightest Blessings,

Cannabis Giving Advice Mother Earth

The wise wisdom that Cannabis has been giving me lately is to not give into the game.  The game is the sport that people play involving strong emotional charges and indecision.  It is like adding more and more fire to the flame.  I am one to not enjoy arguments.  Especially arguments about silly petty material things. It seems I find myself retreating more and more to Mother Earth so that I don't allow myself to get wrapped up in unnecessary drama. 

One of the dramas that can occur is when someone asks me what should I do with my life or can you help me find a profession that will make me happy. When I give advice that I feel is appropriate and that suits that person it makes me feel joy in my heart that I could help someone figure out their life path.What I am learning though is that not everyone who asks for help really wants help from you.  Sometimes that will ask you to help them get out of their rut and not even want to take the advice that you give.

I am learning not to get upset anymore when you give some advice and they don't take that advice until several years done the road.  And then make it seem as though this advice came from all of these other more qualified sources than you.  When this happens many times in your life you learn to smile and listen.  And just to know that you are not the one that this person wants to learn from.

Cannabis has helped me with patience for this human race.  It reminds me to slow down and to not take everything someone says to me to heart. Many people are speaking words without any intention behind them. So how can they hear any voices of wisdom .


Brightest Blessings To You All

Cannabis Inhalation How Long Do You Hold In The Smoke

Today I read a really good article on how to smoke your medicine to get the most benefit out of it.  They talked about how you don't have to hold in the herb smoke for a long time in order to feel the healing affects of Cannabis.

They go into more detail which you can read about here at Green Flower Media  http://greenflowermedia.com/article/best-way-to-inhale-cannabis-2016-3/


I believe that it is very important to dispel the myths regarding Cannabis smoking.  I suggest that you read more and see what you personally experience to be true for you as a Productive Cannabis Connoisseur.


Thank you for reading this blog and please share the knowledge about this wonderfully beautiful healing herb known as Cannabis.

Cannabis Freeform Dreadlocks Love your Locks At Every Stage

Hello today I hosted a show about Cannabis and Freeform Dreadlocks.  I talked how Cannabis helps me to see the world in a different way.  I see how I fit into this world. I am here to lead by example.  To learn from things that don't work.  For me dyeing my hair with commercial dyes,  braiding my hair really tight,  was just not for me.

I let mother nature take over. In the beginning of my Freeform Dreadlock Journey I felt alone and judged all of the time.  Then I came to realize as the years have gone by that I do not have to rely on the acceptance of others.  I don't have to conform to think like everyone else.  We all have our own spiritual journey that we are on.  For me my Freeform Dreadlocks are a big part of my spiritual path.  This journey that I am on here on Planet Earth involves being authentic.  It revolve around learning,growing and evolving.


If you are just starting with your Freeform Dreadlock journey and you do not feel much love for your natural hair do not fret.  Finding the confidence and self love within can take some time if you are use to putting yourself down every time you look in the mirror.

I had a phase early in my Freeform Dreadlock journey where I could not bare to leave the house unless my freeform dreadlocks were perfect.  That is just absurd in itself.  My dreadlocks do their own thing.  They will not and cannot be controlled. It is Mother Nature at work . 


Thank you for supporting my show.   And thank you for taking the time out to read my blog.

Just be you.   Brightest Blessings, Trina

Cannabis Art Creativity Psychedelic Plant People Drawiing

Hello today I shared with my viewers and subscribers some of the art creations I have been working on.  I started drawing again. Sometimes I get into these moods where I can't draw and all I want to do is paint and make dolls.  Lately I have been inspired to draw more.  The current drawing that I am working on reminded me of a pen drawing that I created many years ago.  It dawned on me recently that this drawing is connected to my current drawing I am doing. It communicates to me my connection with the Cannabis plant and the hidden knowledge that has been suppressed for so long.  That knowledge becomes evident to me the more that I take this journey with the beautiful herb called Cannabis.

Bamboo Smoking PIpes Handmade

Today I share with you my friends a creation of my husband Kurt.  He created these hand crafted bamboo smoking pipes.  You can find them on my etsy shop.  www.darkmoondoll.etsy.com  They are $30.00 plus $6.80 shipping.

They are handy to take with you camping, to fairs, or sit and chill in your backyard and smoke your medicine.

These pipes have many features.  The long chamber for smooth even smoke.  A place to stick a roach to finish smoking it to the end so your don't waste good herb.  It also has a  way you can hold it so that you can smoke out of it in windy weather.

Indica Or Sativa Cannabis Strains

So today I talked about the difference between Indica and Sativa.  These are the two well known strains among Cannabis Connoisseurs and the recreational smokers alike. What I have experienced with indica is that it has helped me tremendously when I want to alleviate panic,  my body pain from arthritis in my knees and ankles, and it even helps me greatly when it comes to being less socially awkward. 

I have tried sativa and hybrids that are higher in sativa.  Partaking in too much sativa or sativa dominate strains can make me very paranoid.  If I do smoke sativa or sativa dominate strains I only have a little bit.  I think that when partaking in this herb for a medicinal and spiritual practice I am able to key into what my body,mind and soul truly needs on a daily basis.  I think that there are other factors involved when people experience paranoia when trying Cannabis for the first time.

One could be partaking of Cannabis whilst drinking alcoholic beverages.  You could be partaking in Cannabis at a party for the first time using a huge bong with a strain of Cannabis that has a high THC count.  You could be trying this herb for the first time among folks you never met before.  So the environment in which you partake Cannabis is a big influence on your experience.


Bottom line is that you have to find what strain is best suited for you.  There are strains that are high in CBD.  CBD  does not leave you with the euphoric feelings that some do not like to experience.

Cannabis Oil Hash Oil Sluggishness

Hello Everyone.  Today on my youtube channel I discuss whether or not I have tried or have bought cannabis oil .  I made cannabis infused oil and I once bought hash oil.  And the other question was if the cannabis oil makes me feel sluggish.  I don't feel sluggish after using it.  I feel pain relief and a clear head.  Some people may experience this feeling of sluggishness because they may not be a regular partaker of Cannabis.  And when I say regular I mean every day.  I partake of cannabis everyday.  I use Cannabis medicinally and spiritually.   My body, mind and soul are use to the effects and how Cannabis works with our body. 

A lot of times when those who try cannabis oil for the first time it may have an effect that is too strong for their body , mind, and soul to adjust to.  I suggest that you take things slow.  I think that is the problem with a lot of people when they partake of this herb.  They take in too much too soon.  A little bit goes a long way especially when you are dealing with  concentrated forms of cannabis. 

You may also want to take into consideration if you are partaking in alcoholic beverages along with your cannabis oil ingestion.  This can cause more sluggishness.  So may not be the cannabis.
If you are eating foods that are fatty and high in calories that can promote lethargy for sure.


Cannabis must be used responsibly just like any other herb on this planet earth.  Do your research and continue to ask questions.  Listen to your body, your mind  and your soul.  And attune your vibrations with the energy of Mother Earth by going outside more often to find all of those answers about this healing plant.

When you partake in Cannabis set your intention as well.  When you partake of this herb feel gratitude in your heart and know that this herb was meant  to come here help you.

Cannabis Fear Spirituality

Today I created a show about Fear.  I talked about how being out in nature helps me to overcome  my fears.  And how being out in nature while smoking Cannabis helped me to have more patience and confidence within myself.   When I am out in nature among the birds, squirrels, my cat Bart, and all of the blossoming plant I can breathe deep.  I feel more centered and focused when I spend time in Mother Earth. So therefore I am feeling less and less fearful everyday.

People fear the things that may never ever happen.  If you can pay attention to what you are doing and what you are saying on a daily basis you will be able to see patterns.  Many of these patterns were created based on wanting to feel  a sense of security.  There is nothing secure about sticking to a pattern just because you are afraid of what may happen if you stray off into something new. Like for instance I like to take the same route whenever I go on my walks.  One day I decided to go a totally different route just to explore another area of my neighborhood.

We have fear within our world because this society has been made to believe that you have to struggle to succeed.  You have to grovel and get on your hands and knees to take whatever scraps are given to you.  I am here to tell you that you are worth more than you could ever imagine if this is the way you live your life.


Spending time in Mother Nature can help you to remember who you are and what your purpose is here on Earth.

Brightest Blessings To You All

Cannabis Social Anxiety Concert Meditation

So Hello if you have never read this blog before my name is Trina and I am a Medical Cannabis Patient partaking in Cannabis on a regular basis for my PTSD, Arthritis in both of my knees and ankles, social anxiety,dyslexia, high blood pressure and insomnia.

On my channel today called The Productive Cannabis Connoisseur talk about how I deal with social anxiety for I was invited to a live concert and I have to admit that I am a tad bit nervous about being around a bunch of people I don't know or who I have nothing in common with. I discuss how I feel that meditation is so essential for someone who has social anxiety.  I further talk about how important I believe it is to ground yourself if you are empathic. Just going outside and putting your hands onto mother earth and imagining the negative energies flowing out of your hands and into the earth.  Imagine the earth neutralizing the negative energy and then turning it positive.  I find that Creative Visualization is a great tool to alleviate anxiety and also panic attacks.

I also talk about how I feel regarding getting therapist when dealing with social anxiety.




We are all healing from past traumas.  My best advice is to be loving and patient with yourself.


Brightest Blessings,  Trina

Cannabis Creativity Shaman and Fairy Cloth Art Doll

So today on my show Cannabis and Meditation which I host on Sundays I was outside in nature to show people that you can meditate in just about any situation.  Today it is raining and the sun is no where in sight but I can feel the healing energy of Mother Earth within my body,mind and soul whenever I partake of this beautiful herb called Cannabis.  My cat Bart decided to join me in this show today.  He shows up occasionally when I am taping. Such a sweet animal and such a beautiful meditation I experienced connecting with nature and Cannabis.

Cannabis has a message. If you listen to what the plant is trying to tell you life can become very magickal.  I do not think that Cannabis is for everyone.  This beautiful herb comes to those who want her in their lives. Plants can be healers.  And there are so many plants that Mother Earth brings forth for our health in order to heal our bodies, our minds, and our souls.  Just about everyone living here on planet Earth is suffering and trying to repair the broken parts of themselves that occurred from an abusive childhood. 

My experience with Cannabis thus far with healing old wounds, particularly from childhood, has been tremendously powerful.  Very magickal indeed. Because what I notice about myself is that I can get caught in feeling guilty for feeling happy.  This all goes back to my childhood when I witnessed mother being physically and verbally abused by my father.  The more that I get outside and reflect on the past with Cannabis as my guide I know that these experiences had to occur on my spiritual path to bring me to the type of understanding that I would need to help others who have been through my same situation or something similar .  These people need help and not to be judged or made feel guilty.  These people I speak of are the children that had to witness all of the abuse and in fact were abused themselves.


Cannabis has helped me to truly comprehend why I am on the spiritual path that I am on.  All of these traumatic experiences happened within my world to make me a stronger soul and a caring soul.  A truly empathic soul can walk a mile in someone's shoes without even trying them on to see if they fit.



Thank you for watching my shows and reading my blog entries here. I like to share what I learn about this miraculous herb and how it has helped me see the world for what it really is.  Cannabis has helped me to connect more with my Higher Self  and know that I am never alone in this somewhat confusing place called planet Earth.

Oh I almost forgot I saw this huge mushroom in my backyard and filmed on this video.  It just shows the wonders of Mother Nature

Peace be with you all

Cannabis and Dreams

So today on my youtube channel called The Productive Cannabis Connoisseur I posted a show that I like to do on Fridays called Cannabis and Dreams.  A lot of people say that when they partake of Cannabis right before bedtime they find it difficult to recall their dreams.  I use find it more difficult to recall my dreams when I didn't even smoke Cannabis at all.  On this show today I share with you some tips on how you can set the mood and ask the questions that you want to be answered in you dream time with the assistance of Cannabis



This herb has been used for centuries all over the world to help you stay connected to your life's journey here on Mother Earth.  This world can be very distracting because we are being bombarded by advertisements constantly on how you should behave and act in this world full of artificiality.  These images can enter into your dream world and be downright confusing.


If you set up a nightly ritual where you put on some soothing music, sit where no one can disturb, and ask your Dream Guides for assistance to whatever problem you are facing in the Waking world you will get answers that will help you upon waking.  It may not happen that same night . Consistency is the key.

I believe that there are two worlds.  The Waking World and The Dream World.  For me, the Dream World has been an excellent guide for me when it comes to understanding my true spiritual path here on Mother Earth.<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mKy3uslRdgE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I hope that you all find this show today very helpful and to realize that we can be in control of our dreams and whenever we ask for assistance, assistance appears before our eyes.  We have to be sincere about our requests for help.  We have to know that we are protected and loved in The Waking World  and in The Dream World .

Coral Reefer Haley420 Cannabis Activism

Hello Everyone!  So today I am posting a video about a favorite Cannabis Activist by the name of Coral Reefer.  On the show I talk about why I bought her Stoney Sunday T shirt and a World Reefer pin. I am very inspired by all that this woman is doing to educate the world about the truth of the powerful healing abilities Cannabis bestows to anyone who chooses to partake in her.


Her show dispels the myths and stereotypes that most people assume are true about this natural medicine that has been used by humans probably since the beginning of time. I met her in person once and she is just as friendly and sincere as she appears on her youtube channel under the name Coralfish19




There are other what is called WeedTubers out there that I admire and appreciate as well.  There is Haley420 who I also met in person when I went to Florin Wellness Center where Haley and her boyfriend Aaron made a special appearance.  Haley shows  how she partakes in her Medical Cannabis and different strains and types of  rigs to  try out  for effective Medicinal Cannabis intake.  And she is very comedic and chill with her boyfriend Aaron showing up on her videos every now and then.  Both of them greeted me with open arms.


There are more Cannabis Activists that I truly admire but these two women I met in person so I will share more when I venture forth to meet new like minded souls.

Peace

So I am so excited to let you all know that I recently purchased a Stoney Sunday t-shirt from a weed tuber called Coral Reefer.  She is doing a lot to get the word out about how beneficial Cannabis is to our health and well being.  And also spreading the word out about how not only can Cannabis help heal a nation it help stabilize the economy.

I never considered myself a recreational cannabis smoker for one second because from the first puff of this magickal herb I felt the therapeutic affects immediately.  I was so surprised that I could actually feel so good in my body, mind and soul.

Not everyone has this experience with Cannabis the first time that they partake in it. I think there are a lot of factors involved when this happens. I think that the setting has a lot to do with it and also whether or not alcohol is imbibed whilst smoke the herb makes a difference in how you feel the affects or not.  Like I have said before, I completely stopped drinking alcohol because for 1 I didn't like how I felt the next morning. Sure the Cannabis can help with migraines from a hangover. Yet I would rather save the Cannabis for my anxiety, panic attacks, arthritis in both of my knees and ankles,and my PTSD.


I think that it is important to support those out there are doing so much for the Legalization of Cannabis.  Why is alcohol legal and why is Cannabis illegal? If you are reading the blog for the first time and don't know much about Cannabis please do your research.  There is so much information that is so readily available for us all to be properly educated on this wonder herb.


I have been away from making videos on my youtube channel called The Productive Cannabis Connoisseur yet I will be back on Monday with a whole new episode of Cannabis In Movies.  And since you took the time to read this whole blog you get to know the movie I am going to review.  The movie is Eyes Wide Shut starring Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise.

Thank you for the love and support.


Brightest Blessings
