Kathy Inman - Best Cannabis Advocate????
Sometimes the media gets it wrong. And in this case I suspect that many people in the Arizona marijuana community think that the Phoenix New Times got it wrong 100%.
Many people in the Arizona marijuana community think that Kathy Inman has sold out the marijuana community and is only in it for the money.
While Kathy Inman does want to legalize marijuana, many people think that she wants a government monopoly on growing and selling marijuana to make herself and her relatives rich. Not proof to back that up. But there is a lot of circumstantial evidence to support that view.
And that's why a lot of people in the Arizona marijuana community hate Kathy Inman!!!

Kathy Inman
Best Cannabis Advocate
Few Arizona cannabis advocates are as committed as Kathy Inman. Her organization, MomForce AZ, leads outreach efforts explaining the benefits of legalizing medicinal and adult-use cannabis around the state. Inman chooses not to focus just on mobilizing the community of cannabis users who already understand and support the legalization effort; instead, she reaches out to groups that tend to be some of the staunchest opponents of cannabis use: the elderly, parents, and law enforcement. She teaches continuing-education courses about the benefits of medical cannabis, and stages events and rallies around the state. One of her biggest victories so far was getting Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio to attend one of her events last October in Sun City. At the event, Arpaio affirmed that cannabis was medicine and could be used by those with a prescription from their doctor. Inman selflessly volunteers her time for the benefit of the Arizona cannabis community. As she says on her website, "I am not a paid lobbyist. I am just a mom. The more ordinary people stand up for what is right, the less there will be that is wrong."
