THC Expo Turf War

Could it be that stoners are mismanaging a successful business enterprise? I seem to remember similar turf wars in the psychedelic community many years back...

Co-produced by Todd McCormick and Brian Roberts, last June’s THC Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center was a watershed event for cannabis commerce. Now the partners are openly fighting, the 2nd Annual THC Expo scheduled for April has been cancelled and Roberts is already promoting an event called THC Expose.

On Jan. 7, THCexpo tweeted: THE 2010 THC EXPO HAS BEEN CANCELED.”

THC Expo 2010Today, CelebStoner received the following tweet presumably from Roberts: THC EXPO IS NOT CLOSED DOWN. WE ARE ON AND WE ARE BIGGER THAN EVER. WE HAVE MORE COMPANIES THIS YEAR THAN LAST YEAR. THCEXPOSE IS STILL GOING ON IN APRIL AS PLANNED. JUST A LITTLE HIGH JACKING OF MY SITE BY TODD.

We emailed McCormick to find out what’s going on. He sent a personal reply, then edited that and sent the following letter to his website registrants:

Hello HEMPIRE Members!

I am writing you today to inform the community that I had to dissolve my partnership with Brian Roberts because as our bookkeeper I discovered that he had not paid people that worked for us six months ago. He misallocated our funds and paid for his personal properties without my consent.

Okay then. Via Shroomery News Service

The previous commenters know very little about the business agreements between Todd and Brian. Like all business, cannabis commerce is subject to disagreements which can cause fallout. I know far more about the dispute than others. Allow me to say Todd has chosen to tell the world the nature of his dispute. Brian has chosen a more professional route.

THC EXPO has changed its name but it is the same game. THCEXPOSE is the new name. No open fighting on my part. It is counter productive for the movement. Internal issues are best left internally not on blogs and posts via internet. A public opinion trail based on biased blogs are not what we as a community need. Nothing will stop the legalization of cannabis. The Time Has Come for change. thcexpose is the center of the change.

sounds on par with all the other experiences i've had with the "professional" legalization/medicalization community. really petty and stupid, while the movement rolls on despite them. whatever!

So professional, these two.
