These are some people who have managed to weasel their way onto the THC black-list. Maybe, just maybe, there's a chance this list will prevent them from hurting someone else. Maybe you'll run into them and tell them what you think of arseholes, or maybe you'll just find this list amusing. Regarding some of them, we wouldn't mind hearing updates...
L. Ron Hubbard's blatantly cult-like "Church of Scientology" and "Narconon" (their cult recruiting scheme that rides on the coat-tails of "Narcotics Anonymous"). See also Crackpots.org. Science-fiction author founder: "The way to make a million dollars is to start a religion." Our primary issue with the "Dianetics" organization is that they've been sending their frighteningly brainwashed minions around door-to-door in our neighbourhood trying to convince people that marijuana is evil by telling ridiculous stories about having been forced by their doctor to take medical marijuana and how the evil weed ended up causing their serious medical ailments (lupus in the zombie we spoke to). To take a look at the amazingly stupid pamphlets and information being produced and disseminated by the Cult, visit www.notodrugs-yestolife.org. You'll hopefully quickly notice that the information pages are chock full of ridiculous fabrications and fallacies. It's incredible, and very sad, how idiotic and just plain wrong the 'educational materials' are, and of course how willing the Cult is to manipulate and take advantage of people.
Randy White, Langley-Abbotsford ( Canadian Alliance ) MP - For being a ridiculously misguided anti-marijuana, pro-drug-war drunken activist imbecile, proving his ignorance every opportunity he gets.
John Turmel, TROLL, professional gambler and record-breaking loser who poses as a pro-pot activist but repeatedly causes controversy and stress within the movement. JCT makes every effort to make himself and anyone around him look bad. He seems to move from cause to cause, and now patient to patient, latching on temporarily in order to elevate his status and ego somehow, only to screw everyone around while seeking a new parasitic host. His idiocy is now known world-wide, thanks to his ridiculous antics on newsgroups and forums anywhere he has been permitted to take part. He angrily blames his own ineptitude and bumbling on anyone else within striking range.
Mike Ellison and Ron Fenwick (or something like that) from Edmonton (or thereabout) for being scam artists posing as legitimate inventors of a battery operated herb grinder. Send a few samples, beg a bunch of money up front, then disappear. Nice, guys.
Craig Stewart Welcher. This fool was stealing stock and cash from THC to the tune of thousands of dollars over the few years he worked for us, before we caught him red-handed and enjoyed some fitting yet surprisingly non-violent retaliation. I've had other employee theft problems over the years, but none like this bitch. Protect yourselves from even your so-called kind friends, folks. A shocking, but typical story.
Klaus Dieter (A.K.A. Mike) Linschun - Pretty run-of-the-mill liar, con artist and all-round piece of shite. Claimed to be a German oil tanker sailor who spent time in Amsterdam supposedly co-owning a coffeeshop (unlikely). Scammed a couple friends out of thousands of dollars, which almost cost him his life (wouldn't have been much of a loss, but not really an eye for an eye either, and not worth going to jail long-term for, so I actually talked a friend out of doing something drastic). At last report, moved from Toronto to Rotterdam, living with his partner in crime and supposed wife "Joan Marriott."
The scumbags who beat (almost to death) and robbed the staff of the Toronto Compassion Centre with a telescoping asp (severe trauma to the skull) for a few dollars when they were located on College Street back in 1999 or so.
The loser who held up THC at gun-point back in 1999 or so, pathetically taking a product worth around $200.
The squeegee kid dim-wit who ran off with a $150 product from THC back in 1999 or so, unfortunately causing an employee in hot pursuit to fall down our stairs and end up in the hospital. This resulted in considerable pain as well as a substantial financial cost (Worker's compensation-related).
The thoughtless imbeciles who viciously beat and robbed the staff of the Toronto Compassion Centre (some female, most suffering from serious diseases) for a few dollars, a couple days before christmas 2001. Should the compassion centre really have to hire a full-time guard, etc.?!? Bastards.
Benjamin Kenny, a crackhead from the Ottawa area who taught us a bit about mail-order fraud.
All the other fools we've caught stealing from the store one way or another, and of course those we didn't catch. Could you be much more pathetic than to steal from an organization like ours?!?
A certain courier company that provided some of the worst customer service I've ever encountered after their employee stole a package from us...
City Water International, a water cooler rental company located in Toronto, for extremely deceitful business practices.
Commercial Business Supplies, a montreal company selling paper and ink cartridges for credit card processing machines, for unbelievably deceitful business practices.
Toronto Dodge Chrysler, for being the typical full-of-shit, scamming, game-playing car salesmen assholes they are (pretty sad for a so-called certified 5-star Chrysler dealer). They have definitely cost Daimler-Chrysler a lot of business and respect thanks to their B.S.
Dorian the glassblower, formerly of Kootenay Glassblowers' Co-op in B.C., for being a real bitch about the $1000 (now $300) he's owed us for years.
"B.C. Seeds" for dirty disgusting low-down pathetic scamming and hate. See our Links section for part of the story (Green Man's Seed Bank Update)
What hasn't killed us has definitely made us stronger (and more wise, and better prepared). But to all of the above, fuck you anyway.
