Denver's WestWord reports on the medical marijuana "farce" controversy

Denver’s WestWord reports on the medical marijuana “farce” controversy

By "Radical" Russ Belville on January 25, 2012

So what you have here is Allen writing a response on a private LISTSERVE to a lawyer who questioned Allen’s posting of an op-ed by a California cop that described medical marijuana in California as a farce and a sham. Then another lawyer in Colorado who defends the medmj industry took offense, feeling Allen was demeaning his clients. This is back in October. Then that Colorado lawyer takes the text off the private LISTSERVE and begins distributing it to as many people as he can as part of his own agenda to discredit Allen. Steve Bloom finally takes takes the bait this month and splashes the edited, out-of-context email all over his website as if it were a public pronouncement from NORML, leading to re-posts on other cannabis websites and countless angry denunciations and spirited defenses in the comments sections.
