Posted by Tom Knapp at Liberty for All. IPR note: Steve Kubby was the 1998 California Libertarian Party candidate for Governor and has twice been first runner up for the party’s Vice Presidential nomination (2000 and 2008). In 2008, he also ran for the Presidential nomination.

Two things I learned from “Scarface,” a heckuva movie.

Lesson Number One: Don’t underestimate the other guy’s greed!

Lesson Number Two: Don’t get high on your own supply.

Steve Kubby learned Lesson Number One the hard way.

Cannabis Science apparently still hasn’t learned Lesson Number Two.

Before I go any further, disclaimer time: I did some contract writing work for Cannex Therapeutics before it entered into its ill-advised — and now canceled nunc pro tunc (remember that term, it’s important) — deal with Cannabis Science, Inc. I intend, or at least hope, to be involved in future projects with Steve Kubby. I am not a disinterested party here.

On the other side of the ledger, this post is not a sponsored post. It’s my opinion, for which I take sole responsibility, and I’m not being paid by Kubby or by anyone else to write it except to the extent that I may move some DVDs on affiliate commission or collect some advertising revenues for page views, etc. I do not own, nor have I ever owned, any shares in Cannabis Science, Inc., nor do I hold any “short positions” or other tools for profiting through manipulation of CBIS’s stock value. Nor, frankly, would I want to unless, as seems increasingly likely, CBIS stock certificates at some point become cheaper than retail-price toilet paper.
