The Queen Of Terpene

Heyyyy, thanks for givin’ my page a lil look see. If you want to know, I’m a freelance artist and musician from the US. I enjoy mediums including plant materials, bones, and acrylic. I'm also a musician. I play ukulele and sing! On a more serious note, a few years ago I was diagnosed with complex PTSD. I actively seek ways to spread awareness about different forms of PTSD and how cannabis can be a wonderful tool in coping with PTSD. I have my medical cannabis card in Illinois and plan to continue being an advocate towards it's future research. The stigma towards cannabis still exists. And it's our job to normalize it. Photos tagged with the hash tag #greenthumbgoddess and #theterpqueen are my original posts. Message me for inquiries on commissions for art or my venmo! 💕🔮 *Trichomes are the whitish-amber crystals on the outside of cannabis buds, producing the smell and taste. Also known as kief. This is where you find terpenes, which produce flavor and smell.*

As you guys might know, I'm a medical cannabis patient and my blog revolves mostly around cannabis content. I started smoking when I was about 16-17 years old. At that point in time, I was self-medicating my undiagnosed PTSD with unregulated street weed. During this time, my health varied a lot and I will never know if the unregulated cannabis was what was actually causing it.

Now that I've switched to medical cannabis, there are noticeable differences in my health. The high is stronger, longer lasting, I suffer fewer headaches and much less paranoia/psychotic symptoms. Being able to chose a strain that specifically works for you makes a world of difference and I implore anyone who is struggling with their health, if it's possible, switch to medical marijuana or at least inform your physician/psychiatrist of your cannabis usage.

on the topic of freak tree disease, my botany professor is a woodworker in his free time and is really knowledgeable about trees. a few years ago the forestry department at my uni him to come with them to check out a giant tree that they were wondering about; it was positioned next to a building that classes are held in, right on central campus, on the intersection of a main road that’s frequently travelled. i can’t remember what type of tree it was, but it was one of those massive species that can get to the size of the building they’re next to. this one was also pretty old, so like. a very large tree.

they were suspecting some kind of infection, and decided to take a sample using an increment borer, which is like a tool you twist into the trunk so you can remove a thin sample big enough to look at all the rings and stuff inside without cutting it down/hurting it too much:

anyway. they put this in…..and removed two inches of wood. the entire tree was hollow. 

what had happened, as they figured out, was that at some point along the line of this tree being cared for by university landscaping, somebody accidentally trimmed a large branch at the top of the tree wrong. the tree couldn’t heal the branch up correctly, leaving it open to rainwater and snow to start eating away the middle of the branch, which then left it open to infection to further eat away down the branch into the main tree when spring came, which then attracted insects and termites that started eating the heartwood of the trunk…..and the result was a huge tree in this very highly trafficked public area, directly next to a building on campus, appearing relatively fine on the outside while supporting literal tons of wood on an outer cambium layer two inches thick. 

needless to say they cut the tree down and i think about that a lot

I have a similar story!

So, we used to have this massive beech tree in our backyard. Think something like three stories high and six or seven feet in diameter.

After a massive storm, a few branches came down and had near misses with our house. We loved the tree, but it had been having some problems with dropping branches, so we needed to get it removed.

Same situation as OP, one of the branches had broken off at some point and allowed things like water and termites to get in. Wasn’t nearly as bad as OP, the more interesting part was the root system.

The root system was massive, meaning the stump couldn’t really be removed. We didn’t pay for a grinding or anything, so for a while we just had this massive stump for a while.

The root system was hollow as well. How did we discover this? Our dog, Foxy kept disappearing from our backyard, re-appearing maybe half an hour later.

This was just a massive underground tunnel system, filled with squirrels and chipmunks, and she would have an absolute blast every time she went down there.

Bonus: Foxy caught disappearing into the stump

Cinnabar is done after a year of being stored in my salt bins! His skin had oxidized to an orange color because of all the fat in his skin, check @jackal_and_hide for the progress images from tanning him. I was able to get him clean after nearly 6 hours of fleshing, and it was totally worth it. He came out beautiful and I’m happy I was able to salvage him after my poor prep work last year. Cinnabar is a very interesting fox. I bought him from a ranch in 2017, and it turned out he had gingival hyperplasia. His skull was severely deformed as a result. He was sold to the ranch as a breeder, but after finding out that the ranch they got him from was bad about inbreeding their foxes, they culled him since he didn’t have desirable genetics. Just shows that there are both good breeders and bad breeders. I feel awful this poor guy had to suffer while he was alive due to negligence, but I’m glad I was able to preserve him and share his story.

Citrine & Cinnabar, ranched foxes. Citrine was a healthy fox, while Cinnabar was from different facility that inbred their foxes.
