It’s not your fault, but they DID make you look bad. In the two clips they showed, the reporter had you APPEAR to be contradicting yourself. It was clear however, that he went away disappointed.

Be careful Gov. when you so publicly support of cannabis, the law will start to watch your every move.

Gov. ran for governor in CO in '94, and was arrested shortly after (losing) the election with several hundred pounds of medical mj in his car. He was under house arrest until only a few years ago. I'm sure he'll tell you the story. The newspaper in Boulder did a piece on him a few years back but I can't find the link. Solid biopic.

Nice one Gov.

I liked the bit at the end when the woman said, "but I imagines its not on the top of the police officers list"

OldMan&TheWeed

Me, ignorant?

Yes I am. The day I stop admitting my ignorance is the day I cease to learn. My knowledge of Gov is spotty. Thanks for the info.

So does anyone think more reporters and/or colorado LEO will visit this site looking to bust possible growers?

At least they still recognize marijuana as a medical treatment and, at least from that video, aren't going off half cocked to repeal any legislation (yet??).

Geeno

It could be twisted as such, but any amount of investigation reveals that we typically shit on the people who ask for hook ups.

My question for gov:

How do we do it?

Responsible caregivers a have vested interest in helping to determine the exact quantity and type of medicine available is appropriate for their patient. The well informed caregiver knows of the types, qualities and quantaties needed for their patient, and must keep aprised of availability from numerous sources, since most caregivers are unable to maintain a truely perpetual garden.

Offering people on the street the opportunity to be "signed" up as caregivers "willy nilly" doesn't sound responsible and cannot help our cause. This is clearly another example of you pushing the limit to make yourself seem important while hurting the cause and making the legit caregiver seem much LESS imprtant.

"Beating the system" does not build value to the medical marijuana community! It also shows a very bad "face" to law enforcement also, which we really have no choice but to work with to some extent. Our patients are the most important, that they get their needed meds. Legal loopholes, even the ones caregivers use, dont always reek of credibility, and neither do you sir.

Caregivers must realize they pubically represent every single mmj patient in your state. Signing up people just so you can say you have done so much for the mmj community, is nothing but foolish dis-information.

Myself and the others in our community were embarrassed and ashamed at seeing you on the news. We thought how bad for him! Then I see you have posted it here, like you are a hero? You hurt the whole cause by looking like an old weasel, telling lies and getting caught in them.

I have met you briefly on a few occasions, sure you would not remember. But the mmj community at large finds you a hinderance not a help so please, stop trying to help. You are better off her eteaching children to grow a plant in mom's house.

Anyone out there that is truely interested in HELPING our cause, below are a few links.

SHAME ON YOU KEN GORMAN.

Now I do see you are a mod here, will you delete this thread or can you be a man and respond?

orca

What Mr Gorman has done is abuse the system that so many of us have fought our lives to get into place. What he does is not really legal and for sure not legitimate. Making unqualified people caregivers so just so they can legally grow and smoke marijuana does not help the mmj cause. I am not speaking on behalf of America wanting to get it decriminalized, I work strictly with the mmj community and am speaking for them.



The fact that a group of teens wants to be able to "have their weed" is of no importance to those who are suffering from dibilating diseases.

This type of public display can only hurt us. You seem to have impressed your "yahooka" crowd Ken, too bad you're a total wash out to a community that you could have helped.

Here are helpful links.

This Saturday, "One LOVE, People Get Ready" Events are BACK!

If you are a legal medical marijuana patient or caregiver in Colorado, time to listen up. With a new year, comes a new attitude.


The Time has come for
LOVE. REASON. COMPASSION. JUSTICE.
1st Saturday of each Month at 2p.m. starting
February 3rd



"How To Place"201 S. Cherokee, Denver



PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT a public event, limited ONLY to legal patients and caregivers showing positive affirmative defense as provided by the Colorado Department of Health Medical Marijuana Registry as well as accompanying state issued photo identification at the door.

"One LOVE, People Get Ready" events are about medical marijuana patient empowerment. It is a gathering of like minded individuals. It is designed to be a 'level' & safe playing field designed on the time honored Farmers Market concept. Now patients do not have to medicate in the closet, but can get out, socialize and discuss that which is important to them in a regularly available open forum. It is a chance for empowered patients to show off their crafts &/or abilities. Examples of encounters that can occur within the framework of "One LOVE, People Get Ready" : MMJ Patient "Joe" makes available his homemade hemp jewelry, MMJ Caregiver "Lisa" brings out some of her home cooked delicacys, medicated or otherwise. Patient "Ralph" meets with caregiver "Seth" and they speak of caregiving options discretely. MMJ Patient "Silvio" brings his folk guitar and plays a tune or two for some others in attendance. It is a FREE FORM ENVIRONMENT, with no financial interest associated with any party. And, if barter occurs, or if relationships develop, so be it. Patients can meet patients, patients can meet caregivers, and speak discretely within the framework of a safe and legal environment.

In June, 2006 a core group of patients & caregivers travelled to San Francisco as guests of Americans for Safe Access. During this history making journey, while visiting 10 Bay Area dispensaries, something special happened. We encountered one standout facility, known as the San Francisco Patients Cooperative. This amazing 'safehouse' facility and attached patient garden patio is a place where California medical marijuana patients are made to feel 'at home' & socialize. It is a literal destination for both patients and caregivers, rather than a place to stop and get medicine. Throughout the day, patrons were under no pressure to leave, spending the time talking, enjoying folk guitar entertainment, attending regular mmj educational seminars, developing patient/caregiver comradry, and an overall friendly atmosphere of positive opportunitys. It can easily be described as one of the proud primary 'homes' of the California Medical Marijuana Movement.

Colorado does not currently have a "HOME for it's medical marijuana movement. Amendment 20 was passed as our state constitutional right after being enacted in 2000. I am told, It is hard for a movement to organize without one......a few, or many.

Following a recent statewide meeting of Colorado mmj activists, an opportunity was extended to try and develop a safe & homey patient/caregiver atmosphere for patients and caregivers statewide, sort of a level playing field of comfortability. Use of the "How To" Place has been offered (http://howtoplace.com/ ).

It has been an important 'Home' for both the wheelchair activists and Independent Living Movment. But, it is so much more than that! The How To Place represents that step away from government-supported agencies. The How To Place is YOUR place. A community resource where you can achieve your goals, not the goals that caseworkers and agencies are paid. The How To Place is not an agency. There are no caseworkers, bureaucrats and agents at the How To Place to tell you what you should do. The How To Place is a community-gathering place where you may find "how to" accomplish what you decide.

How will members of the
Colorado Medical Marijuana Movement
Utilize the How To Place?
Allowing the opportunity for us to invite ONLY legally registered patients and caregivers, who must provide proper photo identification as well as confirmation of their current participation in the Colorado Department of Health's Medical Marijuana Registry for entrance to these specialize events. A integrated environment to achieve the true aspiration of the Medical Marijuana Movement: equality.

If you?ve been wondering "how to" reach other patients and like-minded individuals, to safely and discretely socialize & medicate, here?s an opportunity.

The How To Place opens its doors to a diverse group of people ready to rekindle the idea of real community. In a no drama, non-confrontational open harvest market bazaar type atmosphere, patients can bring items they have personally made, hemp bracelets, specialized pastries, or even extra medicine that legal patients/caregivers might want to make available to other patients, etc. An open forum to discuss options, barter, or whatever, in a safe, non-threatening environment. Their is no fear of this group possibly losing State or Federal funding as a result of these events, because there is none, the How To Place is totally self-supported by donations.

HOPE to see everyone who is a LEGAL COLORADO Patient & Caregiver at this Saturday's monthly "One LOVE, People Get Ready" Denver way. It is about EMPOWERMENT, so if you care to bring out any goodies to share for the rest of the community, be it, drinks, pastries, food items, potluck, it is ALWAYS APPRECIATED.

PLEASE REMEMBER: The patient next to you may NOT be getting their medicine regularly, may NOT be getting a regular meal, may NOT be getting the companionship and socialization neccessary for good mental health. TAKE A CHANCE, meet someone else of like-mind. Come out and be a part of something special, evolving daily as more and more become invovled.

This is why not just anyone should be given "access" to becoming a real caregiver. Caregivers aren't in it to keep themselves stoned, it's loads of work and compassion with very little reward other than helping someone in need.

If you look past all the Copying and pasting, Orca makes a solid point, one that I couldn't help agree with after watching the clip.

Why is publicly announcing that you are intentionally abusing a law going to help the cause? If anything this will bring more attention to what you are doing, which while it is not illegal, isn't going to help chances it is going to stay that way.

The number one priority for legalization of marijuana should be the people who actually need pot to live comfortably. Publicly mocking a generous (relatively) law isn't going to help their case for keeping it in place, or you're case for complete legalization.


But in any case, props for getting YaHooka on the news!

Governor

Orca...

The bottom line is that people that are legitimitly in need have to go without medicine.

My attempt to get the undercover to get legal is something I do every day in hopes that I can get a few more people to grow our medicine. What was left out of the television interview was the fact that the undercover did not get any marijuana from me and the instructions I gave him. I told him the caregiver status would not allow me to sell ANYTHING to him and that if he wanted to proceed he had to get another patient with an actual medical condition. I also told him that I would support him in his efforts to provide medicine for his patient by giving him high quality clones and give him access to lower priced lights and other equipment. I stopped just short of begging him to become legal and my giving him caregiver status was the carrot I dangle to anyone that might be able to help the medical community. The information they left out of that interview could fill a book.

I've never seen you volunteer medicine or anything else. I've never seen you at my smoke-ins as I explain the need for legislation against this war and so far I've never seen you do anything but criticize.

Ashamed of me? Kiss my ass (since you like bold letters). I've had to do everything I do by myself. No one helped me with my successful attempts to bring the marijuana into the public eye. The medical laws and the Denver law would have never come into existence without my efforts.

I deal with many many patients and caregivers and your organization has not once come up in a conversation about a group that cares about our situation, so STFU!

I see you still hold yourself in very high esteem Ken, and at one time the med community did also. But you have lost purpose and want to be seen as some hero. The heros are the disabled men and women who deal with pain everyday, not you sir.
You are what you looked like in the video, a tired, sad old man wanting an audience for himself. You ended up looking like a liar and you put the entire mmj community at risk to lose what we have gained.

The only marijuana advocates that hold you in high esteem anymore are the minions you have on this board.



STFU? No idea what that means, but I guess you have the yahooka lingo down pat?

Whale shit...

What a douche! You seem to think I invited the sting attempt and 'you don't want an internet fight' that you started


I have double or triple the number of patients than anyone in Colorado that get the best prices. There's never enough pot so if you have loads of of the green then I'll send them your way (but I've already been informed you don't have shit and what you do have is overpriced).

Tired old man? Yes indeed, that's why I'm a registered patient. Sad? No.

You seem to think putting my life on the line and going to prison for my legalization efforts was for a popularity contest. Yep, you're a douche.
