I personally left room for doubt by saying I would cross my fingers, implying I think it is possible he might say the right things in the right way. We shall see. I'm not entirely sure, but I see it being plausible that some Americans watching him speak could get the wrong impression whereas if we had another spokesperson such as Rob Kampia having the same amount of time, he may reach a larger audience and appeal to their logical train of thought without the distractions that Marc could present.

I would like to see all the activists on 60 minutes. And I agree that the suits would help in ways that Marc can't. We need more of the high profile Cannabis users to come out of the closet. This will probably only happen with the activism of the less radical actisists.

However they have not been invited by 60 minutes. Even if you don't approve of his methods, you have to respect the results.

Since I don't have a crystal ball I will reserve my judgement till after the show.
