I'm with you Ham, we were there as well. So were the boys from Slater. As long as Slaters vested interest is to protect my growing rights and serve RI's patients with safe access, it's good by me. I've also seen their plans for community development projects they have planned,....talk about giving back to the community, some good shit coming.
Anyway, I believe Dr Bock from Greenleaf was there as well but my memory isn't the best. They say it was all just a smokescreen for some other bill that they were trying to pass, I don't know, I hate politics,... but I know the Slater team had numerous meeting with the reps, that week as well.
-on a side note, the 2 folks I help are also a cancer and an ms patient, we should compare notes some time
