Goodbye NORML Network

Goodbye NORML Network

By "Radical" Russ Belville on May 14, 2012

The reason for my immediate cessation of the network is simple: money. NORML just does not have enough of it to justify covering the expenses to produce this network. Because of this, we are not able to afford travel to the HIGH TIMES San Francisco Cannabis Cup in June, despite having raised $3,500 in our WePay donations to cover travel expenses, despite bringing in $1,000 / month in advertising.

Idaho authorities bust a dozen head shops

Idaho authorities bust a dozen head shops

By "Radical" Russ Belville on May 13, 2012

Idaho has some of the toughest statutes in the nation regarding paraphernalia and simple pot smoking. Merely being in a place where people smoke pot is a misdemeanor worth 3 months in jail. If you are found to be stoned in public, you can get 6 months in jail. Being caught with a pot pipe (with no pot) can get you a year in prison. If you’re caught with some pot, there’s another year in prison. If you do any of this around a child, the crimes rise to a felony with 5 years in prison. Selling pipes, bongs, grinders, and kief boxes in Idaho is a felony worthy of nine years in prison and a $30,000 fine.

Mitt Romney says medical marijuana, gay marriage are "state issues, right, aren't they, really?"

Mitt Romney says medical marijuana, gay marriage are “state issues, right, aren’t they, really?”

By "Radical" Russ Belville on May 10, 2012

Mitt Romney was interviewing with a reporter from Colorado who asked a series of questions, including his opinions on civil unions or marriage equality for gay people, in-state tuition for children of undocumented immigrants, and Colorado’s state recognition of medical marijuana. Frustrated by the questions not leading to his preferred talking points, Gov. Romney, exasperated, asks “Aren’t there issues of significance you’d like to talk about? The economy?…”

Some activists in the border town held a march in protest of the new policy and about 200 people marched through the streets and chanted.

Once more into the breach: The lies of the No on I-502 campaign

By "Radical" Russ Belville on May 7, 2012

Now that the No on I-502 PAC is officially taking contributions to help the Drug Czar defeat legalization, it’s time for me to review the latest half-truths, scaremongering, junk science, and outright lies being propagated by those who feel this legalization isn’t perfect enough.

Big thanks to Karli Duran and all the people at San Antonio NORML who worked so hard to put together the 4/20 Fweedom Fest. I knew it was going to be a good time when I get to the hotel and they have me booked in Room #420. My good friend Chief Greenbud was in Room #421 across the hall.
