Hello everyone! If you recall, in a previous blog “But your district doesn’t support MJ…”, we discovered a shared fetish amongst several political leaders. Many of them are obsessed with using their leadership to support bills that enable the grotesque expansion of big industry’s commercialization mongering. “State Senator V. Marble is a prime example of a political leader that clearly…
Hello everyone! After doing this for a bit now I am starting to see some clear themes in the bunk arguments that big industry pushes out as narratives that support their empire building. Bunk Argument #1: Bong rips = medical treatment To be clear right up front, there may be legitimate medicinal implications for cannabinoids. However, when big industry implies social…
Well readers, it is a special week as we get to have a back to back looksee at some of Colorado’s most dynamic leaders. And yes, by dynamic, I mean nefarious. Plain and simple… Andrew Freedman, are you an unregistered lobbyist?! For those of you wondering who this is, Freedman is the former “Marijuana Czar” for Governor Hickenlooper. Not only…
Alright folks, here we go again! Mr. (Peter) “Marijuana” Marcus began as a Colorado journalist, reporting on the woes of the big industry, but now… He is the communications director of the Terrapin Care Station, a national marijuana commercialization company. But alas, it is the saga that occurred in between his leadership transitions that makes this story worthy of being…
Hello fearless readers! As promised, this blog outlines yet another inconsistency and half-truth that is happening with Colorado’s marijuana industry. We have quite the conundrum on our hands… On one hand we have a list of political leaders voting for big industry’s expansion but on the other hand these leaders are representing districts that are not for big industry’s expansion….
Greetings readers! So the primary focus of this blog was going to be on simply sharing the disclosure statements of the marijuana industry’s cadre of lobbyists. However, per usual, they have opted to try and cover their skunk scented trail with refusing to comply with simple regulatory guidelines that they are bound to. Take Josh Hanfling and RD Sewald’s firm…
I’ve been doing a little research. One of the things which struck me as I read the Westword article on Ms. Sovine Miller (see “Canna-balized”) was this suggestion that the big marijuana industry lobbyists were acting unethically. The article said they had pronounced conflicts of interest at the Capitol and neither their clients nor the legislators were actively aware. With…
Alas, I am already garnering international attention. Clearly the marijuana industry is having their highly paid international investigators hack into my email so they can unearth my plan to fearlessly investigate, expose, challenge, and hold the marijuana industry accountable. Seriously, all snark aside, my email was attempted to be accessed from a computer in Turkey so I apologize if you…
For my second blog, I thought I would dig into some of my key observations from my first blog. “There is contention between recreational marijuana and medical marijuana. This contention is also complimented by conflicts of interest” A contentious, but respected, Chinese finger trap seemed to have once existed between the recreational and medical marijuana industries. That was, until the…
