Is Robert Corry Good for the MMJ Movement?

[Dietblonde]

Obviously some people just like to pretend they are in the know while they pathetically blog all day.

I am not a big fan of lawyers myself, but his case history speaks for itself.

There is a difference between having an opinion and being a sheep.

Okay, canaguy...what have you done historically for the cause. hmmm

Actually, it only takes about an hour or two out of my day unless I'm doing reviews. If you'd like, I could forward you dozens of emails from people thanking me for having a website where they can collect info and resources. I do it for free. And yes, I am in the know, because I read every news bit that I post. And about Corry, I just informed people of his criminal record. What can you not understand about that?

What have you done for the cause?

I have been in the "cause" now for 4 years, and frankly find your "sheep" comment insulting. You are obviously one of the masses who bases their opinion based on gossip. Professional and personal are seperate issues, but then this is america, so i have a right to my opinion.

As far as the movement, I have been 'giving' away medicine now at my own cost for two years as i am a patient who suffers every day myself. My point of view differing from your own does not make me a sheep. my god, your ego is staggering

you make a profile and then waste no time starting in on people. sounds like someone has a wounded ego.

We all are on the SAME SIDE! Save you energy for fighting prohibition! :thumbsup:

Well, everyone here is a patient and suffers daily, so there's really no need to put yourself on a pedestal. Oh, and I wasn't the one that called you a sheep, just to be clear. You were the one who insulted me first by demeaning what I'm trying to do with a website. You should check it out- you might find some good resources.

How exactly is 'giving' different from giving? And how does 'giving' medicine further the movement? I've given plenty of free medicine over the years. Its called sharing the wealth.

Linda, was wondering if you had Corry's case history or have a link to it. I'd be interested in seeing how successful he's been.

I called people who promote corry without looking into him sheep. If you find that offensive, then you must be one of those people.

I applaud your donations.

PS. It is not gossip when it comes from people that are facing/faced legal issues and have been screwed by corry.

Here is some gossip though. Ask him about his relationship with the Chinese Triads and being put on retainer by them.

It seems whatever happened in Rob's personal life, he's dealt with it and moved on.

What we need is a pro-litigator with a passion for MMJ. Corry is just that. We would be under much different rules right now if it weren't for both Corry's.

I'm very glad he is here and doing what he is doing.

[lampost]

Here's the problem...I am offering critique of Corry based on the crimes he's been found guilty of. Of course, I cannot prove that he is only out to benefit himself and I would retract that statement if one could edit their posts.

Rob is apparently more than capable as a lawyer. He was once voted one of the top lawyers in the country under the age of 40 by some lawyer bureau. I've seen him in action. He's very slick.

By the way, the media is NOT out to get him because nobody has tackled this issue in the past few years. Trying googling it and you won't find shit.

I don't understand what the point of this thread is?!

You've already said he's a great lawyer, who is "slick", so why is his personal life of any concern to you? If he can do his job and remain a bar-certified lawyer then his personal life shouldn't be any concern of yours or mine.
I hate the intermingling of personal/professional lives. I don't tell anyone at work any personal information unless they specifically ask. Its none of their business.

It's an issue of buyer beware. I know people who have chose not to deal with him when they found out about his personal history. They didn't want to support him because they felt that he has a questionable character and he did something despicable. I, personally, will not consciously support (financially or morally) someone who makes such deplorable decisions.

People like you don't care and that's totally fine. My point is, people have the right to know because he is a public persona and representing a mass of people who may or may not want anything to do with him.

Ok. That's fair. I understand not wanting to support a potential rapist.
It looks like those charges were dropped, but you never know. I'm presuming he's innocent since the judicial system didn't follow through on charges.
And the drinking isn't that big a deal. Its so widespread in this country that its not really frowned upon. But I'm guessing the drinking didn't bother you that much either.
