Joe listens to Joe Bliss. I have no control over him, just as he has non over me.
Our Views and goals align for the most part, and that is where our relationship stops for now.
With that said, I have read much of what CPU has said. and i have heard it first hand, as can anybody that watches the Hearings from Judiciary. I have also spoke with others including Mal about CPU, the 3MA and the Government and the Act.... Many are on the same fight, but no one is coordinating attacks, every one is fighting their own skirmishes.
But the 3MA is fighting for the Pts and CGs first and formost. Which is why we support the repealtoday effort, why we support dispensaries so long as any of this bill does not quell, or out right eliminate the CG and PT transfer model we have bee working with, even with the CoA false ruling.... Which will be corrected finially when the SC rules. You see, i ll scream and yell until the SC rules. only then is any contentions of the act codified into law. Even when legislation is introduced, the SC can make its ruling< IF a case is presented to them and they accept to hear it.
remember you can read anything you want on a forum. WORDS MEAN ALOT, but Actions speak louder than the words supporting them.
From what I have personally seen, CPU has many questionable agendas that generally are not disposed to public.
One thing you have to see, is Transparency. No one can say the 3MA as an entire organization is behind closed door making ANY Dealings. We have one deal to present to the state. Implement the ACT fully first. THEN we can see IF or What may need to be tweeked.
Also remember the CPU forum is not backed by CPU itself, but strictly one of the members of CPU. Word was last yr (directly from a CPU Member to me) they (CPU ORG) was not pleased about the CPU forum as it put too much light on them from the community the claim to represent.
seems weird a place telling legislators it speaks for the Patients and Caregivers, and it does not want those same Patients and Caregivers to know they (CPU) are claiming they are speaking for them with legislation, dont you think?
Dispensary language can go forward on its own, and be completely separate from the 08 MMM Act. But our Government wants to be sure THEY Have full control over who grows, so they can have full control over how much they can take from it. IF we the People can grow, then They can claim it for their coffers.
