Robert Corry is a one-man marijuana crusader who has spent years fighting for patients rights and pushing the MMJ issue into the forefront of Colorado politics. Corry has earned the adoration of the MMJ community by taking on high profile cases and has esentially become the face of the movement in Colorado. At this year's Cannabis Holiday Health Fair, Robert was on hand to sign autographs of the most recent issue of High Times. Corry seemed harmless in that he just looked like someoneâ??s dorky dad, dressed in an awful pair of jeans and greased-back hair.

What most people don't know is that Corry has a criminal record and has done hard time. First, there was an incident in Washington D.C. where he drunkenly pulled a shotgun on a group of people. This event happened in 1998 while he was a lawyer for the House Judiciary Committee. He was sentenced to 35 days in jail.

Corry was also accused of 2 counts of sexual assault on a 24 year old female acquaintance at his home in the fall of 2005. Corry plead down to a third-degree assault charge and was sentenced to 60 days in jail and 5 years probation.

In Corryâ??s defense, he allegedly doesnâ??t recall the event and his wife, Jessica (also a pot-crusader and a Republican!), has stood by his side.

With that said, would many peaceful, moral people within the MMJ movement choose to be associated with Corry if they knew of his criminal history? Would the media ignore him if the public was aware of his past? Iâ??ve never met Corry so I cannot say whether I believe he is or isnâ??t a decent human being, but heâ??s had some serious allegations against him and has done time. But I think its important that our success doesnâ??t come on the backs of those we donâ??t want to be associated with and I implore you to read the vivid details in the reports below to see for yourself.
