Hello readers! I recently had the opportunity to interview Chief John Jackson of Greenwood Village, Colorado. I want to first say how much we appreciate the role of law enforcement in the community and see them as a viable ally for our efforts. I have to admit, it is not an everyday occurrence I get to ask a Chief of…
Hello everyone! Great news! We are not totally alone in our dismay that Colorado is in the midst of the next big (green) tobacco. Last week’s symposium was a tremendous success. I have never seen so many leaders agree that something must be done to fearlessly investigate, expose, challenge, and hold the marijuana industry accountable. Some of the leaders and…
Hello readers! Alas, there is something positive happening that shows that not everyone in Colorado is okay with the commercialization of marijuana. The event, “Marijuana’s True Impact on Colorado: A Symposium at Colorado Christian University” is evidence that we are not alone in our challenging of the status quo. The symposium is centered around these topics. “With the legalization of…
No, this blog has not sold out to big industry as a marketing platform for asinine health and wellness programs rooted in marijuana. However it would not be too far fetched to see something like this in Colorado. We know this misnomer of how smoking blunts is the equivalent of using insulin all too well. As I was recently out…
Hello Green Brick Community! It has been another interesting week of fearlessly investigating, exposing, challenging, and holding the marijuana industry accountable. The specific item we are exposing this week has to do with the rulemaking process that is in place for Colorado’s marijuana commercialization expansion. Specifically, we are looking into the diversity (or lack thereof) in the work group participants….
Hello readers! This is a short and sweet blog because the content in the video says it all. For your viewing pleasure we have a clip of Jared Polis going absolutely cray cray about crayfish, as an argument for expanding commercialization. Pretty sure he may have literally smoked crayfish before making this “speech”. https://m.facebook.com/groups/87390148178?view=permalink&id=10155660553713179 Not only do I…
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…
