RIP Mike Baldasaro
When Wally went to his reward not too long ago, we wondered how long Mike was gonna keep on ticking without his long-term partner in “crime” by his side.
Not very long, as it's turned out. Yup, last week Mike joined Wally in that great hemp garden in the sky. Mike and Wally, or Wally and Mike, were pioneers in the legal pot movement for most of my lifetime. They've faded from memory a bit since younger and more media-savvy marijuana advocates joined the fray, but let's never forget their contribution to the battle!
I personally never met either of them, but we had mutual acquaintances, and by all accounts these guys were solid down-to-earth folks who would do anything for anybody they considered a friend. They say Mike was a little bit over-protective of Wally, but over the long term that was a good thing. Wally was just a little too trusting. He'd give interviews to random reporters and the narcs would be knocking on his door the next day. He needed an interlocutor.
That would be Mike.
They've both gone to a better place, and when you look around, you'd have to admit they made it in the nick of time.
RIP, boys!
