As you all know for the last week I have been strongly advocating going to the Sept 7th protest in Lansing Sponsored by MMMA. I have been working hard MANY hours of day and night trying to spread the word about this and get people to go. <br><br>
WHen I found the MMMA site I thought the place was great, it was something I wanted to be a part of because they were fighting for patients rights and were trying to make a difference. I jumped in, two feet first, full speed ahead, trying to help the cause. THen in one of the posts on here I started getting static about the MMMA from one of their former members. I thought the guy just had a grudge against them and was talking them down because he had a personal agenda against the organization. I can see now, he probably does and it is well deserved.<br><br>
Three days ago after Jesus of Cannabis told me he wouldn't go to the rally in support of MMMA I stated that other organizations were also sponsoring the event. To back up that statement I went into MMMA's forum and made a post asking for the exact names of the other organizations that would be there with their members. The events that followed have left me dumbfounded with a very bad taste in my mouth for MMMA.<br><br>
In their forums I said "What other organizations are going to be sponsoring the Sept 7 rally besides the MMMA" I immediately got a response from a member going off about how if people don't want to attend because the MMMA is sponsoring it there are many other organizations that will be there also". I responded to that in the following manner. "I just wondered because I've been argueing with a guy that doesn't want to go because MMMA is sponsoring it and I told him there would be other organizations there also. He's been talking bad about the MMMA, he really has a problem with you guys".<br><br>
The next thing I know I can't log in to their forums anymore. I thought it was site issues at first but then I saw there was people in their chat so I sent a email to the admin asking if I had been banned and why?<br><br>
I received an email back, pretty much accusing me of being a terrorist and trying to cause disruption in their organization. My fucking jaw hit the table... I was spending hours upon hours trying to help these motherfuckers out. Talk about a fucking slap in the face and yes, pardon my english but I'm god damned angry.<br><br>
I sent him "BlueBerry" multiple emails trying to reconcile this misunderstanding and in return I have been left in the dark, banned from their site.<br><br>
This really opens my eyes to the negative claims of other members here about how MMMA is just in it for the money etc. It must be true, they obviously don't give a shit about their members who are working hard trying to help them. I have changed my mind about my attendance at the Sept 7th protest. I am still on the fence, but if I do go, the crowd I am taking will be there protesting MMMA with signs and all. I'm almost mad enough to do it. They stabbed the wrong motherfucker in the back.<br><br>
