    Default Toronto Area Medi Patients, Help Needed

    Hi,

    My name is Zachary Greco and I am a photojournalism student at Loyalist College in Belleville, Ont. I am working on a photo project about medical cannabis, and need a subject(s) to photograph. I am looking for someone who has a medical marijuana license, in or around the Toronto area and preferably a patient for this part of the project.

    The ultimate goal of this project is to show how the medical cannabis system works, from growers to compassion centers, compassion centers to patients. I want to show the good in what is being done with this program and show how useful it is for the patients that need it.

    This project is currently a school project, but I am going to continue with it until I feel that I have finished what needs to be done. With that said, I don't have a lot of time to shoot. So if you could/would like to help me out with the beginning phase of this project (I need some shots to hand in to my teachers) then please contact me ASAP so that we can get started.

    Thank You
    Zachary Greco

    Watch out for this one. He tried this at TCC and some offered to help. Let me copy and paste from the TCC website on response to some one who offered to help:
    "Hi All TCC members and others looking through this forum. I thought I would share with you my experience with Zach.

    I responded to him to see if I could offer him some assistance with his project I did receive a response and here it is.

    Hi,
    > Thanks for responding to my post. I have received a reply from another patient in Kingston whom I am going to try and meet with this week. They're a lot closer to where I am, I have to hand in some shots to my professors at the end of the week. But I would still like to meet with you to get some more documentation for this project. Like I said in my post, I'm going to continue with this project outside of school for personal reasons, until I feel that I have documented enough for this project. Would you be willing to be photographed? If you don't want your face shown we can cover it enough so that it's not recognizable. We could also do some things that will make the house unrecognizable for safety reasons if you'd like. It's alright if you can't participate in the project right away, whenever it's convenient for you.
    > Thanks
    > Zachary Greco

    I replied saying I wouldn't allow anyone into my home for safety reasons to photograph but I have pictures he could use along with my story etc. I don't know who he knew and I won't put my family at risk to allow a "stranger" into our home.

    This is his reply to me. Thanks for wasting my time. I clearly stated in the post it is a PHOTO project, so why did you even respond if you weren't going to let me photograph you or anything? You were obviously too high when you read the post to understand anything it said. By the way, I'm not an idiot, I know how much weed costs on the street. Fuckin yupi.

    I guess I'm naive thinking I was going to help him with this project when it is now very obvious he has some other problems like compassion or lack thereof. Good luck Zack I wish you well in your life. I hope you never get sick."

    And:

    I`m not surprised. It sounded to me like he was just a lazy student (and pretentious aspiring camera clicker). Just photos, I can imagine the sensational slant. Just what does he expect t a patients photo to look like.... No doubt baggey-eyed and glazed look. From his response it`s obvious he thinks it`s all a money-making cover-up, has no respect or knowledge of patients situation, and doesn`t know his ass from a hole in the ground. Hey Zach! You`re a real little moron!!

    If you wanna see what the goof looks like and see an example of his creative self-expression....

    Just a warning. I wouldn't want anyone to waste their time.

    Thumbs up Who is your Teacher ?

    I want to know yer teachers name and contact the college to find out if in fact this is a real project or some Scammer trying to Dupe Patients into letting this TOOL into their home to later become Victims of Attack Via Home invasion or Other Violent means to steal your Meds because Thats what could potentially happen if anyone just takes this guy at his word and Lets them into their grow.

    DO the RESEARCH PPL b4 Trusting anyone claiming to be a photo Student, Ask for Teachers name and even go see the prof in person if possible.

    Buyer beware well same applies to the Grower, Grower Be VERY AWARE !!
