He got the ball rolling on medical marijuana thing in California in the 90's.
I used to play music with his brother, and got to know Dennis a little bit 20 years ago or so.
I went to a couple of events, including a S.F. city council meeting back then.
I opened up a concert in Dolores Park that he organized that got the whole issue started.
Nice fella. We're Facebook friends now.
He'd be at the top of my list of activists.
