This is the back and fourth conversation between me and one of the organizers I contacted about our network here..
I cant believe this guy is an organizer with an attitude like this..I dont know how he gets people to work with him..
In the end he claims there must be 150 of these type sites all over the world...Well I sure wish he would give me some links..

I swear- there must be at LEAST 50 such sites in the U.S. ALONE. (Probably another some 100 or so OUTSIDE the U.S.), so really, WHY are you doing this? There is already the "Official" GMM website, which has been going strong for about 10 years now, and every regularly published pro-pot newsletter or magazine in North America carries our ads, so now I am to get ANOTHER one? I seriously urge you to promote yourself to Alva instead of to people who are several years ahead of yourself on the curve. C'mon now- the 1st SMOKE-IN (A predecessr to the New York Pot Parade, which in turn is the predecessor to the GMM..) was hosted by David Peel in 1970 (Out of fear of getting busted they smoked joints rolled out of dried banna peels.). The National Smoke-In (Held annually in Washington DC on the 4 th of July), is now almost 40 years old.
I PERSONALLY have been organizing Smoke-In's, Hempfest's Weedstock's, Marijuana Marches, and Harvest Festivals since 1978.
I was personally trained in activism and organizing on this subject by the people who taught Dana Beal (the FOUNDER of the GMM,) what he is TRYING to teach YOU.
I don't really care about if you think I'm a jerk. In fact, I'd (almost) PREFER IT, if it makes the cart go forwards.
I think you are duplicating effort in a wastefull manner.
I THINK (without knowing) that the reason you made that website was to try to propel your self into he cannabis spotlight for the sake of your own petty egosim.
As for joining a new group or website- I'd only really consider it if you actually offered something new or different that I did not already have, and from looking, you don't.
Think about this- Are you trying to make progress in Oklahoma, and solve the problems in YOUR AREA? Or are you trying to become yet another inneffective "Leaders List" or "Freedom Fighters" media star to the nation?
Really now... Think about it.
(I'd be VERY wary of those "L.E.A.P." guys you are supporting- Here in Ohio they are instrumental in doing "cointelpro" style information gathering and have been very instrumental in tearing apart the "Ohio Patient Network" by splitting it's leadership.)
Chris "The Anarchist" Ryan, (Yippie!)DUDE- WHY? Do we need yet ANOTHER copycat "network where the organizers and supporters could gather in one place"?
