President Of Hemp And Cannabis Foundation Pleads Guilty

An Oregon man who describes himself as the nation's largest broker of licenses for medical marijuana has pleaded guilty to reduced tax-evasion charges. Paul Stanford, the 50-year-old founder of the Hemp and Cannabis Foundation, was charged in March with failing to file personal income taxes in 2008 and 2009. "Paying taxes is not optional," said Oregon's Attorney General John Kroger. Stanford had asserted that he would be cleared of guilt, but tells The Associated Press that he instead took a "sweetheart deal" from prosecutors and accepted a misdemeanor charge of personal income tax evasion. Stanford was sentenced to 18 months of probation and 160 hours of community service. The organization, founded in 1999, operates offices in nine states. It has helped more than 100,000 patients obtain state permits for medical marijuana. It lost its federal tax-exempt status last year.

this is just another example of "things" that are used as ammunition against legalizing marijuana or allowing medical marijuana use. it would seem like that man would keep everything legit and straight-up at least for the sake of others. now the anti-weed people have another bullet to put in there gun. NOW EVERYONE THROW STONES AT ME FOR SAYING THAT.

The charges are likely false man, it takes about 10minutes for me to file my taxes.
