High Times Should Give Me a Job
So, I’m checking out High Times' Top 10 News Articles of 2008 (the stories that got the most traffic on their site) and noticed that I wrote two of them (#1 and #9). Both are crazy marijuana stories that never brought us the traffic I expected, but seem to have done well on the HT site. We allow our material to be reprinted as long as StoptheDrugWar.org is credited, so this is totally legit. I guess it kinda sucks for us that they pulled more traffic from our content than we did, but it’s fun to know that I rule the High Times news archive.
Anyway, since you cool dudes at High Times are obviously reading my blog, I’d like to be perfectly clear about the fact that I will write even better articles for you if you give me some money.

You have represented your opinions through this website in a thought provoking manner. You have framed your posts in a manner that stimulate my comments. You would be an asset to any publisher.
Keep up the good work for all of us.
You are a valued source of news and commentary

Comment posted by Anonymous on Tue, 01/06/2009 - 6:27pmI'm glad you guys are very generous with your material but for a magazine to repost somebody's else's entire story with only a little link up on top to the original is pretty lame. It seems common practice that if a site wants to re-post someone else's story they would included only an excerpt and include a link to the original site.
Great job Scott!
