In a sad example of pot activist in-fighting, the owner of the Green
Buddha patient network has taken over the web site of attorney and
primary sponsor of Initiative 1068, Douglas Hiatt. Hatfield and McCoy
style, this is apparently in retribution for sour dealings between a
Green Buddha patient and a Compassion In Action patient.


And the wars continue.

Its like dealing with 5 year olds. Its a shame that the greed is taking over the movement. If it doesn't get cleaned up we maybe back at square one and fighting to get MMJ again.

Green Buddha owner takes over initiative sponsor's web site


Updated May 4, 2010 at 2:05 a.m.

Seattle, WA -- The owner of a Seattle medical marijuana dispensary has launched a cyber-attack against the sponsor of a statewide marijuana legalization initiative.

Muraco Kyashna-tocha, proprietor of the Green Buddha patient network, deleted the web site for Compassion In Action, another local dispensary. Kyashna-tocha runs a web hosting company and started hosting the site while she worked as legal assistant to the organization's long-time attorney, Douglas Hiatt. Last week the group found its email non-working, its popular discussion list deleted, and its web site redirected to a third local marijuana provider, CannaCare.

Mr. Hiatt contacted his former assistant last week in hopes of resolving the issue between the two dispensaries. In response, Ms. Kyashna-tocha launched an attack on her former employer's web site, DouglasHiatt.com. Having originally registered the domain name on her employer's behalf, Kyashna-tocha still had the login details for Mr. Hiatt's domain name. Over the weekend, the Green Buddha owner took over Mr. Hiatt's domain, moving his web hosting from a third party to her web hosting company, redirecting his email, and replacing his web site with a $4,000 ransom demand. In alluding to her ransom reasoning, Kyashna-tocha wrote:

"ALL proceeds will go to pay for the damage ($2k approx) and unpaid utility bills ($2.2k approx) for that West Seattle house rented by the Dunshee folks ..."

That statement has now been replaced with a page stating the site has "a new owner," that it is still available for $4000, and ends with:

"Respectful medical marijuana patients DO NOT trash rental properties and they pay their utility bills!"

From what we can gather, this has something to do with a Green Buddha patient claiming that a Compassion In Action patient attempted to rent a house from them, and some months into the agreement, the relationship soured. When the Green Buddha matriarch received word of this, she decided to take action against her cross-town rival -- and their attorney.

Mr. Hiatt is the primary sponsor of statewide Initiative 1068 which would legalize marijuana if enacted by voters. He also represents numerous medical marijuana patients and dispensaries throughout Washington State. He expressed concern that the state and federal courts send him notices through email, and now that the Green Buddha has redirected his email, he is no longer receiving these notices.

Updated May 4. Monday night, Kyashna-tocha updated the DouglasHiatt.com site to automatically play a profanity-laced voicemail from Compassion In Action head Dale Rogers which accuses Kyashna-tocha of working for Steve Sarich's CannaCare. The site reads:

"From Dale Rogers head of the Dunshee House/Compassion - where you get authorized AND your meds all within the same organization"

Kyashna-tocha goes on to make a claim that she is the rightful owner of DouglasHiatt.com:

"Contrary to the confusion - this domain has NEVER been owned by the attorney Douglas Hiatt (same as whitehouse.net ain't owned by the White House). Douglas Hiatt once had an email address associated with this domain but that imparts NO ownership (does your gmail account mean you own a bit of google?) and this domain no longer hosts any email."

The domain is still for sale for $4000, money that will be repaid to a Green Buddha patient Kyashna-tocha felt was slighted by a Compassion In Action patient in what appears to be a co-beneficial rental situation turned landlord-tenant dispute.

More to come as this story unfolds.

Seems to be fall out from Dale Rogers and Steve Sarich's ongoing PAyton Place. Appears to be driven by greed. Appears Dale and Muraco Kyashna-Tocha have started there own dispensaries GreenBudha and have no interest in MMJ being legalized just like Steve has no interest in MMJ being legalized. As always greed seems to win out over commonsense.

Local Medical Marijuana Web Sites Get an Involuntary Overhaul
By Nina Shapiro, Tuesday, May. 4 2010 @ 2:00PM

​Two leaders of the local medical marijuana movement have had their Web sites commandeered, apparently by someone who had given them technical assistance and later got angry with them.

The URL From Dale Rogers head of the Dunshee House/Compassion - where you get authorized AND your meds all within the same organization now contains no information about Douglas Hiatt, the lawyer who is co-sponsoring a pot legalization initiative. Instead, there's a notice proclaiming that the URL is for sale (The price: $4,000). Hiatt's e-mail account, which used the douglashiatt.com domain, has also been disabled.

Similarly, the Web site of Dale Rogers (Home (Compassion In Action)) currently says nothing about the medical marijuana dispensary he runs called Compassion in Action Patient Network. Now the site links to a competing operation run by Steve Sarich, whose former Kirkland home was the site of a robbery attempt-turned-shootout back in March.

How did this happen?

The answer seems to me lie with a woman that both men say they asked to set up their sites for them: a former employee of Hiatt named Muraco Kyashna-tocha, who now runs her own dispensary called the GreenBuddha Patient Network. Hiatt and Rogers say that instead of registering the site in their names, Kyashna-tocha did so in her own. Records at Network Solutions don't name the owner of the URLs, but do list muraco.org as the server for the sites.

Reached by phone, Kyashna-tocha didn't expressly confirm that she tinkered with the sites in question. But, angry and yelling, she insisted that neither Hiatt or Rogers owned the sites.

She did not explain why she might be mad at Hiatt or Rogers. They say they don't entirely understand either, although it seems to have little to do with the sometimes fractious medical marijuana community and more to do with a landlord dispute involving Rogers and someone Kyashna-tocha knows. Hiatt says he offered to intervene.

Sarich says he had nothing to do with the affair, but Rogers apparently holds him partially responsible. Rogers has left profane voice-mails for Sarich, which Sarich promptly forwarded on to Kyashna-tocha, among others. And now, one of the voice-mails immediately starts playing on both tampered sites. "You are a piece of shit," the message says.

Thanks killer! but i helped write I-692 back in 1997 that passed in 1998 i worked for green cross at the time after I-692 i opened compassion in action then opened Lifevine Clinical Resources got sick sick took a year off then reopened Compassion In Action...and if you had saw the OPED peace in Seattle times you would know i do want full legalization. I did not open last week. i have been working on this issue since 1991 when i started working at ward 86 UCSF AIDS/Cancer research center.


Last thing this all started when Steve Sarich called and said he was going to turn me into the DEA BLAH BLAH......i did get pissed and i did get emotional i will not deny that in anyway....OH i still stand by all my words.
dale

Steve said what?

WOW it just got deep in ?

Sad for us patients for all this to be going on. Tis why I try and post the truth of what's going on in our local wa. state MMJ community.

Although I don't know the specific particulars surround this, I can surley say that when I had to deal with murraco, hiatt, and sarich....It was less than ethical behavior on their part....and to see this here doesn't surprise me one bit....

I am sure there is more detail involved with a $4000 issue out there. Time tells all truth.....good or bad.

[jamessr]

So this site below doesn't go to cannacare...or any thing associated with cannacare.

Similarly, the Web site of Dale Rogers (Home (Compassion In Action)) currently says nothing about the medical marijuana dispensary he runs called Compassion in Action Patient Network. Now the site links to a competing operation run by Steve Sarich, whose former Kirkland home was the site of a robbery attempt-turned-shootout back in March.

And the other site posted above does have someone highly pissed off at steve...

Steve are you playing both sides of the fence ??? Ya know what happens when the fence no longer exists? If not, I'm sure you will find out soon enough.....shame on you.

But you have to know what kind of a guy Steve is if you've known him for very long. Not blaming you but sometimes you have to distance yourself from certain people. Steve's a well known drunk and as any of us that do a fair amount of drinking ourselves, we're not the best people to be around when we're drinking.

[killerweed420]

Yeah it looks like she(Kyashna-tocha) hooked up with Steve and is shitting in everyone elses nest. Its a shame. Again it appears to be the money that has corrupted people's ability to be compassionate. And in the process she has done great damage to the MMJ intiative to legalize.

Green Buddha owner takes over initiative sponsor's web site

May 4 - Green Cross web site affected

This story made the Seattle Weekly: Local Medical Marijuana Web Sites Get an Involuntary Overhaul

The web site seattlegreencross.org was altered, apparantly by Ms. Kyashna-tocha in her ongoing electronic retaliation campaign against Compassion In Action after a Green Buddha patient reported to her that his landlord mother was left with $2,200 in unpaid utility bills in a rental deal gone sour.

The web site, maintained by the Green Cross Patient Co-op, used to answer the question "How do I find a marijuana friendly doctor?" with information on educating one's doctor. It now reads:

How can one find a "marijuana-friendly" doctor?

cannacare.org 206-319-0600

Their is no list of "medicinal marijuana" doctors maintained. The protections of the Medical Marijuana Act are meant to be applied to the relationship a patient already has with their current physician. The best place for a patient to start is to have an honest discussion with their own doctor. If that doesn't work try the cannacare.org web site. Resources and reports about MMJ in Washington State: cannacare.org

Reading into Ms. Kyashna-tocha's often confusing action and prolific, cryptic writing, she seems to be rallying against medical marijuana authorization clinics which operate in conjunction with medical marijuana dispensaries. On the From Dale Rogers head of the Dunshee House/Compassion - where you get authorized AND your meds all within the same organization web site, she added an auto-playing, profanity-laced message left on CannaCare's voicemail by Dale Rogers, who she describes as:

"head of Dunshee House/Compassion - where you get authorized AND your meds all within the same organization."

More as this story continues to unfold.

A Third Medical Marijuana Web Site Has Been Taken Over
By Nina Shapiro, Wednesday, May. 5 2010 @ 1:07PM

Did the person who set up McKee's Web site turn on her?

​Yesterday, we reported on two medical marijuana Web sites that had recently been commandeered, with the content completely changed. Now, the same thing has happened to JoAnna McKee, co-founder of the oldest patient co-op in Seattle.

McKee says she went to the Web site of her education and advocacy organization, Green Cross Patient Network, yesterday and discovered that information about how to reach her had been removed. Her picture remains but now there is contact information for a variety of other medical marijuana organizations.

Topping the list is the Green Buddha Patient Network--which seems like more than a coincidence.

The head of Green Buddha is a woman named Muraco Kyashna-tocha. That's the same person that Dale Rogers, head of a dispensary called Compassion in Action Patient Network, and attorney Douglas Hiatt believe changed the content on their sites. Hiatt and Rogers say Kyashna-tocha set up those sites for them. In comments to SW's post yesterday, Kyashna-tocha denied ever working for Hiatt.

McKee says Kyashna-tocha also set up her site. "She talked me into it," says McKee. The Green Cross proprietor already had one site hosted by a network of medical marijuana organizations, but McKee says Kyashna-tocha argued that Green Cross needed another stand-alone site that devoted more space to McKee's role in passing a medical marijuana initiative and getting the local movement started.

"I don't know anything about computers," says the 67-year-old McKee, who takes marijuana for a variety of ailments, including epileptic seizures and pain associated with a broken tail bone.

So McKee didn't know that the URL seattlegreencross.org is not registered to her but to something called ICDSoft Ltd, listed on GoDaddy.com as having an address in Sofia, Bulgaria.

McKee says she has never heard of ICDSoft Ltd. Nor, she says, does she have any idea why Kyashna-tocha might have altered her site. Kyashna-tocha has not yet responded to a request for comment.

Starting to sound like a meth head fighting one side rather then mmj patients or pot heads over some supposed slight.

[killerweed420]

Its definitely a Peyton Place situtation. Sounds like a couple people need to be on some serious mood altering prescriptions.lol
