I like to think that OSC and myself have the same sense of humor- often times reading his work I find myself cracking up audibly- and so when I discovered this tidbit I felt like I understand the man a little more.

My friend works for the Marijuana Policy Project, a non profit in DC, and he was reading out funny names he came upon going through their database. He found a certain Orson Scott Card in their database. Do you think OSC tokes up?

Please note, I am not sure how this information falls under the anti-defamation rules of this forum, but I wish to make clear that defaming OSC is absolutely not what I wish to do, as I am a huge fan.

Not so much the defaming, but I'm uneasy about anyone revealing membership names in a public forum (unless it's someone on their board of directors or something). Might be legal, but seems impolite and tacky. My two cents.

Leaving aside that this is second-hand, anonymous dirt, it's not all that dirty start with.

Looks like MPP has all kinds of supporters who have never smoked or owned an illegal drug of any kind -- they just think that the current drug laws are a bad idea.

I don't think this is relevant.

There could be privacy laws?

Rob Kampia, co-founder and executive director of the Marijuana Policy Project.

Probably no connection whatsoever, I just googled to see what came up.
