Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I appreciate everything the guy has done for cannabis and don't believe all the nonsense out there. I've watched many a Hash Church and talked to Sam. One thing is apparent and that is he loves cannabis and his passion is undeniable.

I would definitely like to hear Heavy Dayze ask him a few questions. Same with RCC.

1 thing I'll agree with is Sam did a lot for cannabis; arguably more than anyone, as we wouldn't have haze, NL and others without him.

However, his helping hand of getting Nevil busted was JUST as bad for cannabis as all the good he did do.

A collector that makes genetics available to the world is doing something. He said he brought Cali-O to Amsterdam. His Affie is the one used by everyone. The list goes on and on. The work he's currently doing isolating terpenes and understanding their medical capabilities individually is amazing. Breeding plants that breed true for different cannabinoids like cbg, cbn, thcv, etc is real breeding work that will benefit medical science greatly. To say the only thing he's done is bring Haze and skunk is just so ignorant.

On a positive note here is a link to Sam's thread of Scientific articles he has collected and shared. The man is passionate about cannabis and deserves some respect.

Everyone here would benefit perusing this gold mine.

I found this on Overgrow.com This is copied and pasted directly from a comment made by user a claiming to Todd McCormick himself. The quote also includes links to the official court documents. Here is the link to the actual thread. https://overgrow.com/t/nevil-passes-and-the-seed-drops-start/19437/168. The comment is in reply to a comment made by a user in August ‘19 (you’ll have to expand the comment reply). The following is the copy/paste:

”And FYI, for a long time Nevil did not even know it was Raymond Anthony Cogo, his own seed sender in the US, who turned him in, as it was from June of 1989, till Raymond Anthony Cogo gave his affidavit in January of 1994, that the DEA was hiding him as the informant, because the case was sealed until 2003, when Nevil’s case was finally dropped.
But until his case was dropped in 2003, and the documents became public, Nevil did not really know who turned him in, and for a while, he was blaming Sam, which was baseless BS.
I received the court documents below from a guy in Colorado named Adam, who was arguing with me about Sam being a DEA agent and all the BS (which like you, he initially believed) that Nevil was saying before Nevil really knew who turned him in. Well, Adam went on pacer.gov and pulled the court documents to Nevil’s case and then after reading them, he wrote me and apologized for spreading rumors about Sam, when it was clearly this guy Raymond Anthony Cogo who was working with the DEA and not Sam.
I am attaching the documents right here, read them for yourself. There is no Sam the Skunkman, or David Watson mentioned anywhere in the filings against Nevil.
Again, the truth ruins the story, but oh well, let the truth me known.
For the record, I also knew Mario Lapp, from the days I lived in Amsterdam, he has since passed away, but was responsible for spreading the misinformation with Nevil about Watson being DEA, which was total baseless BS, and was just made up by jealous Dutch seed merchants who did not understand the complexity of what Watson and Clarke were doing in the Netherlands. I know that Mario Lapp and Nevil had no freaking clue what Hortapharm was all about in 1995/1996, I sat in on conversations with Mario when he was trying to figure out how two Americans came to the Netherlands and got a license to grow cannabis when no such licenses were being issued to any Dutchman (which was what was pissing off the Dutch seed merchants).
Had those Dutch seed merchants actually understood medical cannabis, which they waaaaaaay way way did not, they too would have been able to apply for license to research cannabinoids, but the Dutch seed merchants were like ants standing next to a skyscraper when looking up at Watson and Clarke, unable to comprehend what was going on in the penthouse.
I know how daft the Dutch cannabis seed makers and coffeeshop owners were to medical cannabis, as I was with Wernard when he started putting together the Medi-Wiet program, to educate the other coffee shop owners about the advancements in medical cannabis, and sadly, most of the information about medical cannabis that Wernard presented fell on deaf ears to the other coffeeshop owners at the BCD, (the Dutch coffeeshop union) meeting, and that was winter of 1996! Many coffee shop owners and seed merchants who I was friends with, still though my medical prescription was just an excuse to smoke weed. Like I said, ants next to a skyscraper.
For those who don’t know, Watson and Clarke started the world’s first cannabis pharmaceutical company; Hortapharm B.V.; and their company was the first legally registered cannabis cultivation company in the Netherlands. Haters will hate, but their goal was to make generic THC that would be on the market as a cheaper version of Marinol. Their work, from; Marijuana Botany, to Hemp Diseases and Pests, to the International Hemp Association, to HASHISH!, to Cannabis: Evolution and Ethnobotany, has been some of the most useful information offered to the cannabis cultivation community. To say that the DEA would allow their agents to publish such incredible information that was positive about cannabis, in the face of the millions of dollars they were spending in propaganda against cannabis, is just downright stupid.
Please put down the Kool-Aid and pick up one of the books I just mentioned, the last one might be a little heavy for you considering it took Clarke and friends 17 years to write and consists of 350,000 words, and was published by the California University press of Berkeley, but give it a try, if you love cannabis, you’ll love their work, I just hope it’s not too expensive for you, because it does cost more than $20 of book.
If you really want to know what happened to Nevil, instead of just gossiping about people you don’t even know, read the two indictments and the affidavit of the witness:
The rat/snitch Raymond Anthony Cogo, who turned in Nevil and started Operation Green Merchant:
1994 Affidavit of Anthony Ray Cogo Nevil Snitch.pdf (2.3 MB)
The 1990 Indictment:
1990 Affidavit of Prosecutor.pdf (589.6 KB)
The 1994 Indictment:
1994 Affidavit of Prosecutor.pdf (410.7 KB)
