Meeting Tomorrow...

THIS IS AN URBAN MYTH: "RJ Reynolds has recently Trademarked several Marijuana Strain names (Trainwreck,OG Kush etc.)."

There is no category in the US Patent & Trademark office for substances recognized by the federal government as unlawful. A search for all the above marks in the US Trademark registry shows numerous existing trademarks using these names for t-shirts, underwear, toiletries, electronic publishing, etc. Each item listed in their proper category. But, again there is no category in the Trademark registry for cannabis.

You could trademark a strain of tobacco you wanted to call 'Trainwreck'. You could do the same for a watermelon, or a tomato. They are open and available under their specific trademark categories. But, you can't trademark a strain of cannabis under any name.

Whether it's a myth or fact I guess I was not sure at the time I wrote that letter, But the point got across to the legislator and I hope it is getting to you, Big Corporations are interested in MMJ in a big way and for them to take this over in Colorado was not the intent of the voters in 2000.:wtf: I will try to to be more diligent about cross checking what I read in the press, between running business, a full time grow, raising a Daughter and trying to influence the legislature, I'll try harder thanks.:stoned:

CM, this is just one of those big giggle things for me. I do a lot of work with patent and trademark lawyers. Sorry to hijack your post.

I received the same gracious and kind emails from Senator Linda Newell today. Of the dozens of pieces of legislative correspondence I've sent in the past two months (none CCed,) each on a single specific amendment, I've only heard back from one Rep and Senator Newell. She obviously has a competent and hard working staff supporting her and she understands the importance of constituent relations -- she really gets it.

Hey cozigzag, did not recieve it from you so far, remember it is klonzinc.com and use terry or lani.

I got the exact same email from Sen Newell. She is the one who asked a grower that had requested a committee be assigned to the issue, "What would be the difference in having a committee than what Sen Romer has already done?".
Glad to see she voted against it.

Let me know how I can help.

You can by calling these 6 right now today, the Speaker of the House has told us they are still on the fence and if they can be persuaded to vote no that it would Kill the Bill.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
