1000watts battle

[oceangrown]

Looks like there will only be 1 1000watts mag shortly.....


1000 Watts - 1000 Watts (http://1000watts-online.com/index.html)

[madmikeRI]

What a total black mark 1000 watts has made on the community. I did notice the newer of the two websites is no more, so hopefully they can put this all behind them and begin to rebuild their reputation

[oceangrown]

both sites are up...

[madmikeRI]

O boy, well it was down more the past few days then these forums... It is sad that now it looks like the only information on that site is about a law suite versus the other site. this should be interesting to watch!

[oceangrown]

It gets good....

Found this on the 1000watts-online blog!! WHoa!

"name edit aka edit is an illegal out of state MM card holder who hides his illegal drug activities behind the MM community. These are the worst possible people to represent a new program. His sad attempt at recreating a company who left him behind for said activity is pathetic. Your wasting your time and money. Your whole staff quit, youve burnt all of your bridges in the community and now you are feeding your autistic son pot brownies in the doctors office. You have much larger pressing issues, u know the state trooper that has been watching your building all week. Or the two private eyes. Might wanna open your 2 eyes; or are you too blinded by the use of your illegal medicine op.

you will also be invovled in the actual suit that 1000watts llc has named against your client. You are alos working out of a dea hot bed. Keep up the good work. name edit is an illegal out of state grower who is being watched. Run while you can. "



Crazy , don't need any enemies in MM in this state !

[OldHead09]

Its wonderful that either of these parties are asking for support after publicly embarrassing the entire RI MMJ community as children...good job fellas because the public is going to be much more aceptive of MMJ when they have that shinning example of kids fighting like two year olds....ALL parties who resorted to the idiot display of pushing and shoving, Shame on you!

[madmikeRI]

It is pretty hard to follow,or maybe I'm stupid, but it looks like all the post in the blog section are posted by the same person. The person whos name you left out. why would you make a post like that about yourself? I'm so confused....

Tuesday..There should be news on this.

[OldHead09]

Wow...sorry if I offended anyone, apparently I had. All it really comes down to is instead of infighting there needs solidarity, Good luck to all parties invovled in this Magazine ordeal.....I hope in the end everything everyone does helps the community! Peace!

[oceangrown]

These two groups offended the whole RI MM community with their childish behavior . They should be apologizing to you !

We look forward to bringing everyone our March issue next week and are pleased to announce our Free Marc Emery 4/20 Festival being held at Sequel Lounge this year. We are also pleased to announce that we have secured a booth and will be participating in URI's Hempfest 2011!!

Thanks for stopping in and shedding some light on the situation. And manning up and starting with an apology was refreshing to say the least. Before this incident I was fairly confident that the work you folks were doing was going to be a very positive thing for the community. After what I heard happened at the expo and then the events that have unfolded online I was sure that work would be interrupted if not halted completely. I was very disappointed. But hearing now that a march issue is on the way and other events are scheduled, there is hope again. In the end, the legal battle is nothing more than 4 peoples PERSONAL problems, because it's the community that will be this entities judge, jury and if need be executioner.

[MiloIsKing]

Thank You. Again we deeply regret any and all of the negative consequences of this dilemma. Our original mission with the 1000 Watts project was to represent not only Rhode Island but the entire fledgling MMJ movement here on the east coast. Though at times a little embarassing, we are confident that the events that have brought a little negative attention also present an opportunity for not only 1000 Watts but also for the community to be steadfast in their beliefs and have faith in that what is right will ultimately prevail. Lastly we cannot wait for the release of our newest issue coming out next week and we are hoping to AT LEAST double the size of the magazine for our April 4/20 issue.
P.S. Everyone please go on providencephoenix.com and VOTE for either
1.Organic Grow Hut
2. Mother Nature Hydroponics
3.Hydro-Earth

All three of these grow shops have been selected as finalists for hest hydroponics in RI. They all actively support the MMJ program and 1000 Watts so please let's show em some love if we can.

Who is the "we" you keep referring to, we as in all the staff of 1000w? or are you now only referring to part of the original staff? are you affiliated with 1000watts.net or 1000watts-online.com
I do not want details on what happened, I just want to know whose apology I am accepting, and who still owes the community one.

He is affiliated with 1000watts.net..Just incase he doesnt responde in time.

[madmikeRI]

Seems that both sites are gone now.

[satisfiedmindd]

At this time, 1000 Watts Publications (1000watts-online.com) would like to issue a formal apology to all MM Community members. Our behavior was the epitome of unprofessional and petty at the Maine Medical Marijuana Expo. Initially, 1000 Watts Publications had opted to withhold from issuing any formal statements in regard to the dispute with 1000 Watts LLC pending the results of our initial court date on March 8th, 2011, which is why an apology was not issued earlier. This will likely be the last post on a public forum from 1000 Watts Publications regarding this matter, as we would like to let the facts speak for themselves in court rather than take our dispute into the community (again).

The dispute between both companies is of a personal nature and had no place in Maine. Again, please accept our sincerest of apologies, and remember we are all on the same side.
Cheers,
1000 Watts Publications

I found a similar discussion between these pasties on rollitup so I figured since some of the parties involved are actually commenting in that thread and when you look at the dates of those comments you clearly see that both sides issued an apology while still continuing to act like children.

Link to 1000watts battle on rollitup: Fuck 1000 watts magazine (http://www.rollitup.org/rhode-island-patients/415159-fuck-1000-watts-magazine.html)

both sides and their cronies are WRONG. Mr. Stone, Mr. Reyes and all your hanger-on scabs the rhode island community sees through both of you and we have a news flash for you. This isn't california and this isn't colorado and its not even michigan where half of you come from. This is our state and we decide who does business here and who advocates our views. Neither of your magazines are welcome here and neither will be distributed here. You see the great thing about a free magazine is that they can all be collected by a few people and then publicly burned. I have already spoken to a few store owners of the locations you deliver to and they have agreed to save all those precious copies of your mag just for us.

The only solution I see to this issue can be nothing short of replacing your entire board of directors with only rhode island residents who have resided in this state PRIOR to the enactment of the medical marijuana laws. It's amazing what one can accomplish in this tiny state. You've been served, Have a great day!

[chuckypaivas]

i enjoyed reading that. thx brother :D

[madmikeRI]

Even thought Tension brings up MANY good points, I think he is a little over the top, the facts are all starting to come out now, and we can all form our own opinions. To me the Issue I am not sure I can put behind me is one that I have not seen mentioned. The fact that from the beginning 1000watts all worked together to mislead the Rhode Island Medical Marijuana community, THEY ARE NOT A LOCAL MAGAZINE. The majority of the staff is from out of state, and based on what I have put together, they are looking to advocate change in RI so they can use that as a stepping-stone for change in their home states. Everyone knows Rhode Island is small and corrupt, so someone only needs to sway the minds of a few to make change for the masses. They are no better than your bad caregiver looking for personal gain off the program. Regardless of what happened in Maine they have all been deceitful from the start, so why should we trust either side now? Now you have the allegations that DJstone has a huge illegal grow op. Are these the kinds of people we want representing Rhode Island? Are these the kind of people we want to stand behind? I think a few more facts need to come out. However, for now I am leaning towards a boycott on all stores that carry any publication from either group.

[satisfiedmindd]

I would like to say that, as current editor at 1000 Watts Publications (with DJ Stone), our entire staff is made up of Rhode Islanders aside from DJ. In response to accusations that DJ is running an illegal grow op or involved in anything remotely south on the moral compass, these are false rumors. Everyone on this end of things is very tired of the drama and the allegations. We just want to get back to business as usual. Thank you for reading,
Jade Laurenza

[madmikeRI]

We just want to get back to business as usual.

you said it not me. You still dodge the main point you already lied, why trust you again. i'm not sure who the new staff is ... yet. But i know you and Tom are both from RI. But I'm sure there are more then the 2 of you. How about a mission statement, something you never had before and might help clear some of this up.

[satisfiedmindd]

I'm not sure what we are being accused of lying about, but I'd be happy to clear up any questions or concerns.

[satisfiedmindd]

And Tom does not work for 1000 Watts Publications, he works for 1000 Watts LLC or ReLeaf, whatever they prefer to go by.

[madmikeRI]

Contact me via email or any IM platform you wish, all my info is in my profile. I have a lot more information that I am sorting threw and do not want to spread any more rumors then what is already out there.

[oceangrown]

Both parties are still an embarrassment to the RI MM community . Not sure how you can possibly make it up to us? Also I find it disturbing that the one mag is staffed by people who moved here solely to take advantage of the MM law. WHy didn't you stay in your previous state and lobby for MM laws there? Instead you come here and make the RI MM community look like clowns.....

[satisfiedmindd]

MadmikeRI, I emailed you.
