In Retrospect: The Loss of a King, The Dawning of a New Era, and Why I've Been So Crazy Lately.
On Sunday, October 6th, Boston's Cannabis Community and my "friendly-family" suffered the loss of a great man, a true king. Michael L. Malta also known as The King Of Pot & more commonly known as KOP passed away suddenly of a heart attack. Having been an activist for 10+ years, KOP was well know throughout the Boston cannabis community, and the cannabis community around the world.
The funeral services were beautiful and strangely unreal. Seeing the large community of people who showed up simply from knowing him through his hard work and activism was incredible. In all of the grief and sadness, it was wonderful to see how many people loved him. It was also a harsh reality check that seemed to have brought everyone and everything back around full circle. This situation seemed to mark the end of an era. The light of KOP's torch will shine on.
