He said the largest donation he's had was $6000. We donated $1000 back in December or January. We didn't do it under the guise that we wanted small shops put under or anything Machiavellian like that. I think a lot of the donors just thought there was going to be a push to end MMJ and wanted to help in any way they could. Who knows, it may have helped, it may have only bolstered guys like Romer.
Can someone explain to me who this Matt Brown guy is? He is a lobbyist, correct? Sounds like he is from Kansas which is an immediate negative in my eyes. I hate that place. So what is this guy doing here? Why is he lobbying in Colorado rather than Kansas? How long has he been in the "scene"? Is he a patient? Rec smoker? Is he motivated by a passion for herb or motivated by politics?

I really don't know enough about this guy to have an opinion. Seems like everyone is convinced he's shady though...

I agree. I want to see why this guy sucks so bad! It sounds like he does from the little I know about him, but I'll admit that's hardly anything at all!

Well everyone knows The Farmacy and Peace in Medicine... there's more but they haven't all been fleshed out. There was another thread trying to identify these dispensaries, but it got a little too speculative...

Seriously, D9? No offense, but I probably would've thought you guys were lumped in with big money before D9. No questioning what Ironlung has brought to this community (BBanner). Seems like there's more money involved at your place...
Are you guys planning on sticking around and paying the fees or folding with the likes of D9 and GM? Hope you can hang in there! Unlike some I don't consider you guys evil for wanting to fight for you investment.
Anyway, here's a link to that thread trying to identify the Cali-owned / Big-money dispensaries:
