Stop CBS4 attacks on cannabis patients
Stop CBS4-Denver attacks on cannabis patients and tell CBS not to air the attack on disabled veteran Kevin Dickes
1-31-`07 | SmokeDot.org

CBS4-Denver has been attacking medicinal marijuana patients and their caregivers in Colorado. The last person to be the focus of a CBS4 medicinal cannabis "investigation" (Ken Gorman) ended up murdered less than a week after the story aired. Now they are trying it again by attacking a disabled veteran. These attacks have to stop.

This Thursday (Jan. 31), CBS4 is scheduled to air an "investigation" of Kevin Dickes, former Marine and disabled Gulf War veteran. Dickes was prescribed cannabis for a war injury and has a valid Medical Marijuana Registry identification card issued by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. In 2000, Colorado voters approved an amendment to the state constitution that allows patients to legally use cannabis as medicine with their physician's approval. Dickes was arrested in Aurora in March 2007. He was charged with felony cultivation and faced 6 years in prison. Because he was a registered patient, all charges against Dickes were eventually dropped. Colorado law says that police shall return the cannabis "unharmed", so Aurora police were forced to return his medicine to him. The CBS4 "investigation" scheduled to air this Thursday allegedly shows a former Marine who served with Dickes in the Gulf War who says Dickes' injury was not caused in the Gulf War. The fact that Dickes was injured is not in question. In the promotion for the CBS4 story, it clearly shows the 36-inch scar on Dicke's leg. Apparently, all that is in question is the cause of that injury.

Dickes has provided medical records to CBS4 proving he was injured in the Marines, but CBS4 is still airing the story. Read the letter from Dickes' attorney, Robert Corry, here: VFLOG.COM: Video-Flogging - Bringing the 1st Amendment into the 21st Century This is a blatant attack on a law-abiding citizen for using a plant he grew himself to ease his pain. The cause of his injury is none of CBS4's business! This is an invasion of medical privacy. This sensational story is designed only to boost ratings at the expense of a disabled veteran. Kevin Dickes has already suffered with his arrest, prosecution and destruction of his medicine. This "investigation" serves no purpose other than to attack Dickes' and make him suffer more for his use of a legal medicine. All citizens should be outraged! In Feb. 2007, CBS4's Rick Sallinger aired a story about medical marijuana caregiver, Ken Gorman. Less than a week later, that caregiver was found brutally murdered in his home. Denver police have made no arrests and have no suspects in the case. See the story that aired one week before Ken was murdered:

What's next for Rick Sallinger? Will he start investigating all Gulf War veterans and their private medical histories? Is he going to continue to attack other medicinal cannabis patients just to boost his ratings? Why doesn't he do an investigation of Ken Gorman's murder and find out why the Denver Police refuse to investigate this case? Please call CBS4 to protest this attack on sick patients. Ask them not to air the story on Thursday:

CBS4-Denver (303) 830-6464 kcncnews@cbs.com

If CBS4-Denver does not pull the story, there will be a protest at their offices (1044 Lincoln Street) at 3pm on Thursday (1/31).

I have to agree the gernade injury sounds like he might've lied about how he was injured. I realize it doesn't matter why he's in pain , but to maybe lie about it, doesn't help the cause any.

Any way you look at it he is disabled and he served his country, if this is the way his country pays him back...

He's had it rough enough with the cops stealing his medicine and his equipment then returning dead plants and busted up equipment. They should do a story on how the cops don't honor Colorado law.

I had a friend near Grand Junction who became an outhorized patient and after finally finding a caregiver , the day before he was going to meet himk the guy got busted for growing legal marijuana, and the cops showed no respect for the law from what he told me.

Then they could do a story on why some jack ass in the Colorado government is forwarding all of the info on registered patients to the DEA.

Anyway, if I keep typing I'll just end up more anoyed about the whole situation...

OBEY THE LAW COPS!!!

Peace and Love, for what it's worth...

Regardless of how he was injured, the behavior of CBS is uncalled for. Whatever happeneed to confidentiality regarding medical records. The way I see it, its nobodies business WHY he was injured. The cause of his injury and the treatment recommended should remian between patient and doctor. If I broke my leg skydiving or if I fell down my steps, I still broke my leg, and the pain is similiar. All that should matter is if the Dr recommended it. If he did, the story should be over as far as I'm concerned.

cbs,nbc.kcal, whoever the news org. dont care if anyone gets hurt through their reporting,it's called irresponsible reporting,with a twist of are the cops involved in this murder? No they wouldn't cover up something like that.All over plants and something God put here for us to use correctly,my lord you would think they would try to bust the plants for being here.All in all who ever commited the murder will get caught it's just a matter of time,this person is a coward,and the reporter that wrote this articile should be held and charged as excessory after the fact,mis use of power,then be rolled up in a huge blunt paper and set afire,highwitness news.
