Look, here is who your heroes are:
Board of Advisors for DRCNet (where this "news" story came from):
Rick Doblin
Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies
Charlotte, NC
Alternate job description: I get stoned in my mom's basement every night...
Kevin Gray
ACLU National Board; former campaign manager, Jesse Jackson and Tom Harkin
Columbia, SC
Ooooh boy. This guy is a staunch conservative. You guys have hitched your wagons to a good 'un.
Mike Gray
author, screenwriter
Los Angeles, CA
La la land....
Jon Holmes
ACLU of Massachusetts Drug Policy Task Force
Boston, MA
Hmmm....ACLU, Massachusetts. Isn't this a bastion of conservatism?
Mario Lap
Foundation for Drug Policy & Human Rights
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Look! He's from the stoner Mecca. You just know he's got some fair and impartial advisories.
Tod Mikuriya, M.D.
San Francisco, CA
Tod. San Francisco. 'Nuff said.
Why don't you guys quit pretending you're conservatives and be brave enough to come out of the closet and admit that your flaming liberals? If it walks like a duck...
Now, just what, exactly, was your point?
Hey dude: my "conservative" credentials are intact. Why don't you be a "man" and call me at my office anytime Monday thru Friday 9:00 Am to 1:00 PM and I'll explain to you why you are an ashole. Nicholas Thimmesch, Communications Director, NORML (xxx)xxx-xxxxx.
My response:
1. If you have something to say to me then please say it to me in a public forum. I will not put up with implied or actual threats.
2. Please understand that my definition of being a "man" doesn't involve calling you up so you can practice using swear words on me.
3. The last time I heard someone say something similar to me was like...dude...25 years ago in high school.
4. Those are some pretty nice office hours. Do you have classes before and afterwards you need to attend? Anger management? Freshman calc?
5. NORML - National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. Conservative? Hah! If anyone considers themselves a true conservative on these issues look who you are in bed with.
6. If you're a "Communications Director" and truly want your threat to have maximum effect then you should at least learn how to spell your insult correctly.
Admin Moderator: Please note my objection to receiving this from Nicholas Thimmesch.
Not surprising.
