They're DEA agents, I don't see how you could distinguish them from any other LEO, judge, or prosecutor. Judges don't make laws and neither do DEA agents. A few in the DEA make policy obviously, but I don't see how that's relevant here. And the list of people associated with pro cannabis prohibition is verrry long I would hold them less accountable than the average guy in the public if he was voting for representatives who didn't support prohibition.

He's a GOOF, I met him a few years ago when Tilray contacted me to help build their facility in Duke Point. Met a lot of douchebags in this biz and he is the one of the biggest, from the conversation I had with him and Brendan Kennedy, I felt like punching them both in the face.

In a fully open market things like this are bound to happen but I wouldn't support the guy.
Plenty of good people that have put their asses on the line can't get into rec or med jobs because of their past record. Now assholes like this guy want to cash in. Fuck all that. Besides that I bet plenty of people just like him are looking to cash in and not be so publicly open about their past. How do we even know who invested in what companies? How many cops are already invested into things like microbrewerys? EVERYONE is going to want a cut. I will say there are plenty of drug dealers that are pos motherfuckers I wouldn't support either. But being ex LEO jumping into the game is tasteless and bullshit. Spent decades kicking in doors, shooting our dogs, breaking up families and they want to be called heroes for it? And now accepted into our world because they see more dollar signs? FUCK NO! Fuck that guy! I think he should have his eyes forced open watching videos of the lives he personally ruined while being forced fed heavy doses of ayahuasca Clockwork Orange style. I'm with Scrappy on this one. That guy choose his side a long time ago and the ignorant grandma down the street never put me in a jail cell. Of all people not a DEA guy just no. The more cops that start smoking herb the better but I won't give them my business. Just not happening. Bunch of shitfaces trying to pass the peace pipe and break bread and have a good laugh about the good old days deserve a swift kick in the nuts. |

(just came from another thread ranting about hypocrisy) But I'm not surprised. This happens all the time in Colorado. Former agents from the DOR maintain their contacts and go out on their own to consult for businesses/take money from other jurisdictions to help craft new local/regional laws. I guess they're free to do so but it stinks.

Let them try,
The plant is much more powerful than money & their silly system. No matter how much they make, what's done is done. It will all balance out in the end... May they enjoy the battle of the mites and the spores of molds on every harvey...
