Al Capone and Watergate were red herrings to divert the countries attention from the Fascist acts of eliminating competition. Booze/Ethanol or Ganja//Hemp. While Neocons and Neokrats continue to bicker over nonsense. Farmers still can’t grow. Drugs and Ganja are Gateways to prison profits and cop-shops bloated budgets.

Good idea right off the bat.

You do have a bit of a plan. It looks pretty good.

First, I wouldn’t sexually harass any co-workers. But I think MPP has a pretty good model for attacking the issue actually. Grab all the low hanging fruit you can, which has been referendums and initiatives and going after some state legislation. Identify places you can get wins, go out and get them, and repeat. And now that marijuana legislation is actually being introduced and voted on, expanding to candidate questionnaires, grades, and voting records and doing more model legislation for every state. A knowledgeable board of directors could consider the options and define the mission statement, until the donors start telling you what to do anyway.

I pulled $50,000 out of my ass, but for that you could probably assemble a diverse board with experience and enthusiasm, form the org, get a website going, start internet outreach, build a fund-raising campaign, and see if it flies. Off the top of my head.

Cannabis Policy Project? Anyone in? Give me $50,000 and I’ll give it shot.

Yeah. Probably from “acting like a dick”.

I will reserve judgment on the MPP, it’s whatever. It just angers me that at such an important time bad press is coming out about an organization that does a heck of a lot to end marijuana prohibition.

Kampia, if the allegations are true, acted recklessly enough to tick off quite a few employees. There is a difference between being horny, and being horny and acting on those feelings and sexually harassing employees. It looks bad if nothing else which is disappointing, but I suppose we don’t know with a good deal of certainty.

The thing is, I can completely understand why the employees would not come forth before. It’s because everyone working at the MPP wants marijuana legal and believes it with a passion. They COULD have been struggling between what they saw as an injustice in Rob’s behavior towards women vs. the need to keep Rob going because he is important to the cause. They saw this last action as the straw that broke the camels back perhaps?

This is speculation, but from what I gather, this seems reasonably accurate based on the evidence at hand, albeit insufficient evidence.

I’ll reserve judgment and take back what I said before for now. Let’s see what comes of it.

The key word is “ex” employees. If Kampia is hyper-sexualized what ever that is, they used to call it being horny. It was never a crime and to my knowledge never thought of as deviant or an addiction. If it does have control over his actions, it doesn’t have control over the other employees who obviously didn’t think it was of great enough concern to deal with it. Would you let some suit molest your little sister and then whine about it or deal with it? If Kampia was inappropriate then when it happened was when it should have been dealt with. This sounds more like a prohibitionists swifboating. Why does this come out now? Was the chick forced or feel threatened, yet continued to work there. Weasel justice is all I see.

I personally support incrementalism as THIS juncture but don’t wish to debate it.

Well you’re not alone but you are responsible for the Ganjawar. Avoiding the truth to gain political seats is cowardice. But I don’t want to debate it either. No debate. Ganja is or it ain’t. Thousands of years has proven it is. Only debates are by those ConPromising or Profiting on perpetuating the war, not ending it.
