Next you assert that your IQ is magically 144, which I believe is a bold-face LIE and I dare you prove me wrong, as my 139 IQ was certified by the State of Tenn & 2 different Phycologists. You didn’t even know anything about our Cannabis Industry when you arrived from Guam, as you only asserted “problems with the wording in the Law” that you read-up on before being first appointed.
