...welcome...a small part of 'our story'...

Welcome to our blog, Smokedogg and I are happy you are here, and we hope you become a part of our blog community! 
We decided to start this blog so we can share a bit about ourselves, our thoughts, adventures, fun facts and life in general, lol.  
To start we'll share a small part of how we became 'Lupie and Smokedogg!'  
After meeting and falling in love on a dance floor many, many moons ago, lol, we got married, and for over 20 years we traveled coast to coast for various resident management jobs, which we happily retired from to start living our Cali dream! 
 Coming from small rural towns to living in a big city was an adjustment to say the least, lol, but we proudly call San Diego home, we love it and love the 'Cali vibes' lol!  I'm going to share a small, fun tidbit about us that very people have been told, lol:  for the first few months after we arrived in the big city of San Diego, we traveled back roads because the interstates terrified us, lol but after Smokedogg became a Patrol Driver for a Security Company, he 'owns' the interstates now and loves to 'yell' at other drivers, lol! 
I, Tam, was diagnosed with Lupus when I was 23 and was at times, taking up to 36 pharmacy (big pharma) pills a day! Feeling like the big pharma meds hurt me more than the lupus, and I was so desperate to feel better, I threw away all of the big pharma meds (not recommended all at once, lol) and began researching Holistic Health along with herbal remedies because in reality, our ancestors did not have 'modern' pharmacies (Walmart, CVS, etc.), they relied on nature, herbs, flowers and natural remedies so why shouldn't we?!?  
After graduating from THC University, I took advantage of my chemistry background (previously a Medical Lab Tech before lupus diagnoses) and I 'dissected' the top 3 big pharma meds in hopes of finding a 'natural' solution to replace the big pharma meds!  Thankfully, cannabis is legal in California, so I was able to test various cultivars! 
Eight long years later, after struggling with setbacks, sicknesses, blood, sweat and tears, Lupies Gold, a three-strain cultivar was developed!  
Lupies Gold eases pain, decreases inflammation, increases appetite, promotes sleep and reduces stress (which is important because stress is one of the major causes of a lupus 'flare')!  Note:  Lupies Gold, not only helps Lupus but other chronic illnesses! 
Since the development of Lupies Gold, thankfully, my doctors are amazed because I'm STILL big pharma med free, my blood work is great (meaning I'm STILL in remission) and I feel amazing!  Trust me, I'm beyond grateful to be thriving, not just striving but THRIVING and I'm so happy to be living my best life as pain free as possible!
A question I'm asked frequently.:  why is it called Lupies Gold?  
'Lupie' is a person suffering from Lupus; so, as a way to honor all of us living with this horrible autoimmune disease I thought 'Lupies' would be appropriate!  
And 'Gold' because I feel that I found the 'Gold,' at the end of the rainbow after a storm ends (of course, I consider Lupus a storm)!  Lupies Gold has saved me through the storms, that's for sure! 

Smokedogg experiences excruciating pain, due to loss of oxygen that happened because of a rare lung infection that led to a medical induced coma many years ago, which caused long-term nerve damage along with several other issues!
Throughout the years, Smokedogg's been prescribed several big pharmacy meds but refuses due to the numerous, horrific side effects!  As we all know, Smokedogg hates big pharma (his words..."they suck", lol!)!  He has replaced all big pharma meds with Lupies Gold; thankfully, it relieves his pain, helps keep anxiety under control, promotes sleep and calms his nervous system so he has less seizures; he also adds other herbal remedies to his daily regimen to maintains his blood pressure (such as Valerian Root, Magnesium and Fish Oil) at times, he uses psilocybin mushrooms to ease PTSD symptoms!
So, like me, Smokedogg is grateful to be living his best life as pain free as possible without the harmful, horrific side effects from big pharma meds!  

Anyone who knows us and/or has watched any of our videos, knows we love advocating for cannabis, holistic wellness and herbal remedies, we're about anything and everything all natural!  We're very open and honest about how much we despise big pharma because we feel there is a natural remedy/herb/cannabinoid/flower for any sickness, disease or issue!  And besides, like we said in a previous paragraph:  'our ancestors did not have pharmacies, such as Wal Greens, CVS or Wal Mart!'  They relied on natural remedies, they used G-d grown meds, and mother nature's herbs and flowers!  
So, before you accept any big pharma prescription, ask your doctor this one question and see how much they care about you:
Is there a natural remedy for this prescription?
