Happy 420, little sisters! Not only is it in the middle of Festival season (does that really get a capital F?), it's also April 20th, the "greenest" day of the year. I thought a proper makeover of sorts was the perfect way to shed some light on what today is all about. But can I even apply makeup after celebrating? We're going to find out.
Not sure what I'm even talking about? 420 is universal code for "time to smoke a little", but after spending the last few years immersed in the world of medical marijuana, it actually means so much more.
Did you know kids have to fight for the right to have medicine that is saving their lives? That cannabinoids are helping some Veterans suffering from PTSD? That many parents of children with autism are making major strides with whole plant medicine*? That beauty bloggers have stopped suffering from debilitating migraines? And the giggles? The giggles can be like a stress reset button on a really bad day. My point? Cannabis is so much more than stoners wearing tie dye and never getting off of the couch.
Oprah Winfrey, Martha Stewart, Sarah Silverman and Whoopi Goldberg are all proud cannabis users who know it does more than just help them relax at the end of the day. With almost half of the states in the union supporting medical marijuana, coming out of the cannabis closet (and dragging our legislators) is getting a little easier.
But here's my question: Can I do my own makeup after celebrating 420?
And talk at the same time? About my official 420 Hero? You'll have to watch the whole video find out...
Here are the products I used in my makeover:
Foundation
Concealer
Shadow Palette
Mascara
Contour Palette
Blush
Strobe
Lipstick
It's clearly not my best work, but then again, I think I did ok--can you do any better?
Would you come out of the cannabis closet or are you even afraid to click that you liked this post, let alone share it? Don't be shy! Even if you don't need any green in your life, support others' rights to safe access to clean medicine. Happy 420!
*Whole plant medicine means medicine that combines all of the active ingredients from the cannabis plant, including thc, the psychoactive ingredient. While cannabinoids/CBDs are helpful on their own, you need the full plant for what scientists call the "entourage effect" (the best result comes from using the entire plant, not just the CBD's).

DeleteI sincerely love you for doing this.
ReplyDeleteMy father has stage 4 esophageal cancer & we live in WI which does not allow medical cannabis. With combo of Chemo, radiation, alkaline diet, modified citrus pectin & CBD Oil from Charlotte's Web Botanicals & the Realm of Caring he has lived past the time his oncologists predicted.
While he is not in remission, his cancer has not grown or spread baffling his Doctors who have admitted that maybe his holistic doctor is on to something...
He has landed in the hospital 2x in the last month due to the side effects of Oxycotin which has basically made his digestive system stop working & is in the process of of weaning off all opiates.
Its incredible to me that in this day & age people who are literally fighting for lives be it from cancer, CTE, epilepsy & other conditions are forced to break the law or relocate just to get access to a plant that can save their lives.
If you are not familiar with The Real of Caring please check it out. They are doing great work to educate people on CBD Oil & medical cannabis.
Thank you. :-) XO
DeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your father. I'm happy you were able to get him the CBD Oil from CBW. I would be surprised if it's not a massive reason his body is stabilizing. It's such a crime that he is unable to obtain safe access to whole plant medicine. I hope he is able to find relief from the digestion issues and that he continues to baffle the docs.
I love you for this! Not just a cheeky celebration post but also shedding light on the medicinal effects and challenging stereotypes head on!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I think it's really important that people understand what it's about. When I meet people face to face, they never expect me to be the one supporting cannabis. I know in my heart that years down the road from now, we'll look back and wonder what we were possibly thinking. The research is amazing. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it!! xoxo
DeleteI had to see how this turned out, and I'm not surprised at how good you look... but those outtakes are GOLD. No pun intended. *grin*
ReplyDeleteEvery time I look at them I crack up. Here's the thing...my camera guy, who had only taken advil sinus, was having more issues than I was, which resulted in a lot more takes than I had expected. So drugstore meds made things harder than anything else...until we got hotboxed.
