Today is a special day for the plant-based people.

Everyone knows I'm an 'earthy' type and love my organic foods and 'crunchy' lifestyle. I think I'm totally out of the closet on this now and happy to be. Yay, me.

One thing I think people wonder about me is whether or not I enjoy other plant-based indulgences. Sorry to disappoint the rumor-mill-types (quite obviously, 'those' people are not the plant-based types) but I do not.

Besides, getting caught in one of Iowa's police 'weed traps' isn't my idea of fun. Lol. Of course, they'd have donuts.

I do support the legalization and medicinal use of Marijuana. In fact, it just passed the Iowa Senate and now has more hurdles in the House. Oregon, Colorado, California, Washington, etc.. so many are seeing increased revenue and their constituents are getting the relief they need with the use of this plant. Come on, Iowa (and Illinois, for that matter). It's certainly better than the increasing rise we see in pharmaceutical abuse, overuse and the epidemic opioid addiction. Here's a break down of what's going on in other states in 2017.

In the Quad Cities, well, it seems our streets, names of towns and places seem to have been named quite appropriately as our own 'tribute' to 4/20.
