MPP is a corrupt pos, as is NORML. Peron and his people did more to legalize than all the DC shills ever did. HT is right to expose Kampia and his sick egoheaded actions. Hu210 is a sick puppy who has nothing better to do than tap on his computer keyboards slagging HT on HT's own forums. Nark-ass bitches need to be tapped in the head with a 9mm.

Wow, nothing but extremely negative comments. I understand there are a lot of crooks out that are in the top roles of quite a few anti-prohibition. "Such is life". If you all really wanted marijuana legal, it would be done already. You all have the power to vote(unless you are an "illegal"). You all could have chosen the right people to be in office. You all could have campaigned for those people who better serve our cause. You all could advocate anti-prohibition and reform of marijuana laws. Think about it. All the time you guys are wasting on just throwing up words on to your keyboard that are directed towards absolutely nothing, you be better educating yourselves on current marijuana studies, laws, and views by your peers. If you want something changed, you have to be the change. Run for office if you meet the qualifications. Better educate yourself in the history of politics in our country.

I say all this not to nay-say anyone, but come on guys and gals, grow up a little and please stop being so ignorant. We need to show people that marijuana smokers are not violent people who act on rage and hate at first site of something not being to our liking. Of course I don't mean this to everyone, but you all know who you are. This also goes for people who are thinking of writing more comments that are just a complete waste of cyberspace.

Why don't you all get together with other like minds in your community and go door to door to see how your neighbors feel about marijuana legalization. See if you can get their email to inform them about upcoming bills that will go through Congress or the Senate and advocate to them to write to your elected officials, as well as informing them about people that are going to run for an elected office so that we can make sure we have the right people in office. There are so many ways to better help our cause than saying fuck this person, fuck that person, fuck you. Yes, there are morons out there, but you should have realized that by the time you started going to school. As I'm pretty sure we're not allowed to throw email addresses around here, I can only ask that you visit my blog.(Which is currently only in it's beginning stages)
http://mjandyou.blogspot.com/
I will soon post some ideas that you can use to help get the change flowing. You all can be the voice of the nation, it's just a matter of taking responsibility. I wish you all great fortune and a life time of peace and love!

MPP is a joke, and a corrupt organization like our government.

everybody thats against marijauana is jus really fuckin dumb jus legalize it already

nobody cares about this dude, write something worth reading. MPP is a joke that shoudnt be supported. Corruption has taken over.

My take on Peter Lewis and Ira Glasser

http://freedomofmedicineanddiet.blogspot.com/2010/07/peter-lewis-ira-glasser-is-waste-of.html

fuck booby black, one of the worst writers High Times ever had. How they continue to publish his crap is beyond me. Shows what a crap mag this is.

@ its a fact.
You clueless dolt. Your desperation only makes me laugh.

I think that Marijuana won't be legalized soon because of hard-headed people who think that pot is a drug. I personally don't think its a drug. I smoke regulary and I fully support the legalization of marijuana.

Wow youre a realy friendly benevolent libertarian bunch arnt you.
Cant you see that you have been set up by the same arseholes that will do it time and time again given the chance.
Protect and survive as we say here in the uk, dont underestimate how dirty pc plod (the police) can be when things dont go their way.
Looks to me like someone going by the name of Bobby Black has been haveing a field day at your expense.

nice, real charmers, friendly bunch, you wonder why mainstream wont get behind your cause and back it well look no further.
With friends like that i mean who needs enemies.
your drug enforcement creeps are similar to our plod (police) arseholes.

kampia is a loser and needs to be removed again from MPP. Their reputation is ruined. His next assistant will quit to, unless its a man then he will have fun.

That You really should do yourself a favor and KILL YOURSELF. Just fucken end it. Deep down inside you know you want to. Your boring, and no one listens to you, not to mention no one ever agrees with anything you type. Fucken do it you little bitch END YOURSELF for the greater of mankind.

Still no facts just attacks. You validate that Kampia was falsely accused.
P.S. Quit stealing Bill Hicks "just kill yourself line". Got anything original? You set the standard for boring.

HU210 kill yourself

MPP's website says they're hiring for a new assistant for Kampia. I wonder what caused the most recent person in that position to leave ... did he sexually assault her too?

Said best in my opinion.

What sickens me most is.... women are, and should be considered by all, the equal of men. But liberal feminazis are constantly trying to have it both ways. You sit there and use your loaded terms, he preyed upon them, these vulnerable women, etc. Guess what I would say if my female boss hit on me and it made me uncomfortable? "I am not into you. Stop being creepy." Simple as that. Instead these "victims", adults capable of making their own decisions, are somehow incapable of standing up for themselves because they are a girl. TRUE misogyny, thrust upon women, by women, ostensibly for their own good because they are too "vulnerable" (because, after all, they are just poor little girls) to tell old dude to piss off, but have no problem telling every dip shit reporter alllll about his dirty jokes. *rolls eyes* If you sincerely want to advance the role of women in society, stop acting like whiny little bitches who are incompetent of handling their own affairs, and then in the next breath complain about how you are paid $0.77 for every $1 a man makes

KILL YOURSELF YOU BORING FUCK

"I will put it simple for ya. If there were a sexual assault(rape). There would have been criminal charges. But since there was nothing but a false accusation of rape."

Wow, talk about supposition upon supposition!

By all means, keep commenting -- you sound dumber and dumber each time you post something.

And look what you are doing to me No facts, just personal attacks. Ha ha. Such fools! Just like ya did to kampia.
Ha ha. I see that the boycott must be working. I will put it simple for ya. If there were a sexual assault(rape). There would have been criminal charges. But since there was nothing but a false accusation of rape. (Supposition upon supposition.) The accusers apparently didn't want to catch perjury cases. There was no case. So the accusers hiding behind this DEA rag's yellow journalism. Still accomplish their goal of divide and conquer, thus setting progress back by crying "He fucks sheep". I hope you narcs are proud of yourselves.
Witch burning absolute moralist Puritans run HT. That's why I subscribe to SKUNK. By the way. Thanks for making my point that; HT ain't worth purchasing

why do you spend more time crying about nothing rather than helping the cause. Your just as bad as what your trying to boycott . You've never got love from any comment addressed to you. Everyone hates you thats why all you do is blab on this site. No real friends or what? you should change you style because everyone hates you like they do Rob kimpa.

BOYCOTT HU210 HIS COMMENTS ARE NOTHING BUT HOT AIR EXCAPING FROM HIS ASS.

boycott MPP . Kampia is a loser . Stop using ht as an excuse for your lack of self control. HT has nothing to do with these posts. Kampia has ruined the reputation of this organization.

Just look at the comments. This accusing skank (with the help of HT, no less) has accomplished her anti-drug goal; to divide and conquer. That is exactly what has happened here.
wake up!!

BOYCOTT HIGH TIMES!!

MPP has lost all my support.
They support the large dispensary model
at the expense of the medical patients/home growers.
All about the $$$$.
Screw MPP!!

Kampia has disgraced MPP . All credibility is gone. Ass beating is needed. Its not HTs doing either the blame is on you.

There was never any evidence against Kampia. Just supposition upon supposition, conjecture upon conjecture. Something that a magazine with any credibility would understand. HT has forfeited all title to belief with this yellow journalism. And that is a FACT!!

There's a difference between a co-worker and an employee.

There's a difference between hooking up and sexual assault.

There's a difference between consent and the lack thereof.

And -- based on your comments consistently seeking to dismiss the seriousness of what Rob did to the woman, his organization and the movement -- there's a difference between you and someone who has any idea what the heck they're talking about.

But none of the %40 hooked up at a bar and got naked later. Yeah, right. Not in virgin land.

What scandal? 40% of workers have dated a co-worker!!

To those of you commenting here, what have YOU done to advance marijuana policy change? I'm not defending or attacking Rob because I don't know what happened (neither do you unless you were there) but I'd like to know if you think you've done anything even near what this guy has done to advance policy change. So tell us. What have you gotten done? Maybe you should think about that before you call for the destruction of a man and an organization.

MPP has been floundering for some time and I think a lot of this rests in Kampia's lap. (Double entendre intended.)
Time to start from scratch kids.
Disband it, get DPA, NORML, Soros, Zimmerman and Lewis to join together in a super organization and have a real concerted push for legalization.
No more thumb-twiddling guys!
Get the message onto the streets and into the ballot box!

Kampia is a sociopath narc, thief and liar (go ask the poor folks at NORML, SSDP, LEAP, DPA...) and uses other people's money to play the role of a Washington DC marijuana activist, when he is just a incurable pervert who does not seem to even like pot, or pot smokers.

Hard to know who is worse Kampia, or Lewis, who should have known better for a billionaire?

Waaa Waaaaa Waaaaaaaa! GO TIE DYE A T-SHIRT YOU FUCKEN HIPPIES!

rob c. needs his ass beat. This dude has ruined MPP

To all the BROTHERS and sisters of CANNABIS tomorrow is the BIRTHDAY of the EMPEROR OF CANNABIS WORLD famous Mr.JACK HERER.Thank YOU EMPEROR for all that you have done to free CANNABIS.THANK YOU may the MOST HIGH watch over you.And may your SPIRIT travel well, You are gone but NEVER FORGOTTEN OneLove Thankyou EMPEROR

I think that Rob Kampia is; a boor, crass and a cad. Oh yeah, and a liar.

magoo thinks anyone who is a billionare can eat choad

magoo thinks being poor is the new rich

bling bling

holla 2 ya

HIGHTIMES = DEA!

Computer heat!

If you hear me.

HOLLAR!

That's too bad. I'd rather see Peter Lewis pull DPA funding. At least MPP does more than preach to the choir. And if paying hush money is a sin Ethan Nadelmann will burn in hell for all eternity.

MMP GO FUCK ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~YOURSELVES~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What did anyone expect to occur? LibertyLover:RIGHT ON.
The Cause has been sent backwards in time several HUNDRED years.

It goes back to reinforce the belief that weeders will snap up your innocent children and are lunatics.

The MMP is a LIABILTY to everyone who supports marijuana legalization. Dissolve the organization completely and forever.

###########################################################

Anyone attending the Phish shows this weekend( June 19 & 20)in Saratoga Springs,N.Y. please use caution.

This is a public service announcement: HEADS UP!

Plainclothesmen,sniffer dogs,tight roadside checkpoints,overall local,county, and state police presence,DWI focus, beverage cup/container scanning to determine alcohol beverage content, random parked vehicle searches,you name it.....
This is word through the grapevine that became public notice Tuesday w/ an article in the Saratogian, the Saratoga Springs local paper.

Be safe ,be well, enjoy like hell!PLEASE BE KING TO THE POLICE HORSES! They are just doing their job.Horses are very intuitive,so please do not try to pull on their bridles or poke your hands near their faces or eyes.

POLICE DOGS: DIFFERENT STORY! They are an aggressive extension to the police. A very BAD IDEA to try to pet or approach a police dog!!

Oh yeah, the marijuana world is just FILLED with puritans.

Its far as one can get from a free love society.

Get real dude. Even free love hippies have their boundaries and know the difference between a one night stand and sexual misconduct. You don't see THIS kind of fallout from the rest of Rob's conquests. This one was different -- for you to be so sure that it was the power of Rob's attraction is laughable. Were YOU there? Did YOU hear her crying in the early morning hours?

She has to remain quiet because she was paid handsomly for her silence. Tell me how many "innocent" men offer large payouts to silence a victim when they are confident that there's nothing to hide?

Those close to her who were witness to her distress know what happened and could not, in good conscience stand by their boss after watching years of inappropriate language finally fully actualize into serious misconduct.

Do you REALLY wonder why Peter Lewis is making "such a big deal?" out of it? Because even Peter Lewis knows Rob is a scoundrel and has had enough.

Puritan minded people who would burn "witches" if they could, must be content attacking an extremely minor "one-night-stand" between two consenting adults. Yes, I know one guy was the "boss" of the other, but there is no evidence that anything other than attraction created the tryst. I mean, no one even accused Kampia of using his incredible POWER to force that girl to do what she did on her own.

My question is why is Lewis so freaked out about it? Was it a deliberate fake event to create trouble? If so, Lewis took it seriously. Maybe he felt he was being ripped off or something. The medical marijuana movement ought to be called, the "supply-side" marijuana kind-bud movement before it's completely legalized.

If the names you list are the people who spoke up about Rob's behavior, then you should thank them for having the courage to do what was right, even at great personal risk.

Their intention was to remove a wart from the movement because it had been there far too long and was growing more disgusting every year. Unfortunately, the outcome was not what anyone wanted:

* One victim of a sex crime - with the perpetrator unscathed and still in power.

* Seven others who stood nothing to gain by speaking out against it and leaving their beloved jobs behind in protest... simply because it was the right thing to do.

* Numerous other great people who left "quietly" (in that they decided to bow out gracefully, without making a stink about Rob). However, most everybody knows they left because Rob is a bad leader and a vile, callous and selfish ego maniac with a long and sordid history of inappropriate and offensive behavior, and they wanted no more association with him. A few of his longest, most dedicated colleagues all suddenly decided to (willingly) abandon the organization. Coincidence? I think not.

* 2 prominent board members resigning upon Rob's imminent return from his leave of absence and continued refusal to step down or resign.

* 1 Chairman of the Board resignation who also decided to pull the funds he had committed for the remainder of the year. Yes, Peter Lewis has given quite a bit of money to MPP this year already, but lets not forget he is a man of his word and fulfills his commitments. Year after year he committed to -- and followed through on -- a monthly payment schedule on an annual basis. But he abruptly ended his monthly giving upon Rob's return and is now following through on a new commitment: To STOP his monthly donations to MPP, thereby reducing his annual giving to the organization to less than half of what he had given in prior years, with no promise to give again in the future. The result of which immediately up-ended important state campaign work, resulted in numerous layoffs and a halted the grants program. MPP would have you believe they still have Peter's support. Really? Does resigning from a board and ending a long-time planned giving schedule sound like support to you?

* 14 total layoffs over the course of two months, immediately following Rob's return. 4 of whom volunteered to be laid off in May, followed by 10 more who were forcefully laid off in June.

* Additional people jumping ship, including the Chief of Staff and others who know when a ship is sinking and recognize when its time to find a life boat elsewhere.


"The purpose of the downsizing was to ensure MPP's long-term health and financial stability.”

Ah, rest assured that the organization is safe and sound now everyone. Rob has done what he needed to do to ensure the future health of the organization [and himself] by losing some of his best and brightest.

Half of the people who worked for MPP one year ago, are now in unemployment lines as a result of Rob's gross misconduct, but HE HIMSELF is still sitting pretty, collecting his paycheck, and callously acting like this is no big loss to the organization or to the movement in general. He still has HIS job after all.

“We're now at the level we were at in 2004,”
How nice that you set your organization back 6 years Rob...good work! But do you really think you're at the the same level without the likes of Aaron Houston and other shining stars you had on your team in 2004? Was MPP's reputation as damaged in 2004 as it is in 2010?

In 2004, MPP was a respected organization on the rise. Now it's gasping for air as it tries to salvage its reputation, stay relevant in the movement while other organizations are doing [more] impressive work, struggles maintain its donors and does its best spin job to assure the public that it's still worth supporting in the wake of a shameful public relations disaster when it's quite literally, half the organization it was one year ago.

I would say, not only has MPP been set back 6 years, but they have yet to see all of the fallout that is still to come from their damaged reputation and the resulting loss of their superstar staff and donors.

Don't blame the victims or the messengers, Joe. Blame the offender and remember that shit flows downhill. The one at the top is avoiding the sewage, but all the others under him are drowning in his shit.


Good luck MPP. You did great work until one person's ego got in the way of all common sense and took everyone's hard work, accomplishments and reputation into the shitter.

Wow. This is really too bad.

Anonymous, blaming and publicly calling out the victim, rather than the abuser, speaks to what kind of person you are.

S-L-E-A-Z-Y!

You should stay away from cannabis law reform, along with Kampia...who needs amoral jerks like you around in a freedom movement based on personal responsibility?

That's right 'Joe', blame the messengers...not the abuser of his staff and the dumbass billionaire who backed him.

Kampia now claims publicly that MPP has over 9,000 donors...what happened to the often made claim of 25,000 donors!?

Can this guy be trusted or believed about anything?

If you're a cannabis consumer (and or love freedom) and you donate to MPP, you're a fool.

Nothing is more cowardly than posting disgusting things like this anonymously. It's sickening and immature, so please stop it.

Lots of stupid people playing parts in this but Sara Cannon is a lying whore who wanted to protect her relationship with her BF.

If you believe that's the case (I don't -- the movement is bigger than one "oversexed" egomaniac), you have Kampia to blame.

All it would have taken was for Rob to realize, "Hey, maybe I shouldn't sleep with someone who works for me after she's been drinking -- I've even been warned specifically about doing so," and none of mess would have happened.

No negative press coverage. No employees speaking to the press. No settlement. No departure of dozens of employees, including department heads and the Chief of Staff. No layoffs. No Peter Lewis taking his money and influence elsewhere.

It all derives from a colossally stupid and selfish act on Rob Kampia's part.

Joe gets it correct. This topic has been done to death. The gold diggers set cannabis legalization back at least a decade.

Even the rich get tired of having their buttholes diddled by ROB KAMPIA. I now know a blow job from ROB K. would have been cheaper that the $900,000 butthole diddle.

Joe: Sheesh -- you call out the survivor by name, but don't even *mention* Rob in your list of people who "trashed lives" and "harmed the movement"? Talk about blaming the victim. Pathetic.

Puh-lease. If Rob Kampia hadn't taken advantage of an intoxicated subordinate half his age, there would have been no such story to publish and none of this would have happened. The ultimate responsibility for this mess lies squarely at *his* feet, not the people that (gasp!) refused to stay silent about his malfeasance.

So Bob Kerrey's on the board? The Bob K who's SEAL team is known to have killed children, women and elderly Vietnamese civilians? And didn't Bob help cover-up the Franklin Scandal in Nebraska that threatened to bring down George Bush? Why is marijuana policy being directed by a few billionaires? I know Peter is just trying to project a hip image in his all-black outfit, but he comes off illuminati to me.

Congratulations, High Times, Salem Pearce, Dan Bernath, Zane Hurst, Sarah Hench, and Sara Cannon, you succeeded in trashing lots of people's lives and harming the movement, all to settle old vendettas! Way to go! May karma haunt you forever. (And it is. Lots of you are unemployed, right?)

addiction? are you fucking stupid?
