Hey everybody – thanks for the love - I would prefer not to say anything bad about anybody and I did not come in here to talk negatively about anybody either. I actually think happiness is a choice and I do my best to live a positive lifestyle, regardless of the prosecutions I've been dealing with, or the reoccurring cancer I faced as a child or when dealing with some of the clowns we all encounter in life. My motivation in posting was simply to correct inaccurate information regarding myself in this forum: Dave saying that I was an international seed smuggler for him and that I was selling $100.- eights to Jason King, AND that he was coming to my house to have dinner with Woody and Jack Nicholson - and I could go on...was just too much for me to let go.
@
Hrpuffnstuff - I pride myself on being able to be honest my entire life and I have lived my life in a way that I have never had to rely on lies to get by, and for that I thank the plant, and I do what I do politically in order to educate the world about Cannabis, because of the health and independence it has given me. I have never lied, cheated or stolen my entire life - because I didn't fucking have to, and I say that boldly, not hiding behind some pseudonym as you are. It's easy to talk shit when you're hiding behind a screen, but I'm not here hiding who I am, but you are basically lying by hiding your identity from start of your typing.
So you want to bring up Brian freaking Roberts - glad to, after he ripped me off trying to do the THC EXPO without me, and failing miserably - I got to talking to his childhood friend and first business partner Ramsey, who he founded that THC sticker company with, and found out that Brian had ripped off Ramsey before he ripped off me. And then in 2011 when I was walking into the HT SF Cannabis Cup, I walked into Aaron - of DNA Seeds - and he pulled me aside to tell me that Brian had just ripped off DNA for over $150 grand! Ask either Aaron or Don - they will let you know what they think of ol' Brian. So turns out, I was just second in line to a chronic con-man and thief. Last time Jorge Cervantes was at my house visiting me - you can see even more of my photographs in his next book - Jorge told me that he heard Brian was a heroin addict living in Northern California, no doubt hiding out from some of the many people looking to sue him for not paying them after his failed 2010 THC EXPOSE.
Fortunately for me I have had more good friends than bad, and even though Brian was an expensive lesson – it was a lesson nonetheless and I am stronger for it.
I am not done with the THC EXPO - as it was my goal in 2009 to bring together the international Cannabis industry under one roof and make the largest statement I could that Cannabis should not be a illegal. Since my 2009 event, I have helped release 3 books (about to release a 4th) and a full-length documentary about Cannabis, and I have also produced a weekend of lectures in my home state teaching people how to GrowMEDICINE at no less than the Rhode Island Convention Center: unlike your hero Brian; I did not go on to rip off my friends and disappear, I went on to get an award with the likes of Dr Lester Grinspoon and Richard Branson and in fact, if you knew how good I lived, you would hate me even more.
