Download the NORML Daily Audio Stash for 2008-03-31

As usual on Monday here on the Stash, it’s Pot and Politics day, so we’ve got our Reformer’s Calendar right after the news. Then we speak with Keith Stroup, the founder and legal director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. Keith brings us some excellent news about Rep. Barney Frank, who is championing our cause by submitting a bill to end all federal criminal penalties for possession and non-profit transfer of small amounts of marijuana.

For our musical break, I’ve got a special treat for you. Saturday night I caught up with Wammo from the Asylum Street Spankers out of Austin, Texas. The Spankers are a seven-piece Americana/Folk band that are well known to the cannabis community, and they have been longtime supporters of NORML. I interviewed Wammo backstage as the band prepared for a show here at Portland’s Aladdin Theater. So today’s song, “We’re Winning the War on Drugs”, comes from the Asylum Street Spanker’s “Spanker Madness” album – an album filled with nothing but toker-friendly jams like “High As You Can Be” and “Pakalolo Baby”.

Then we’re replaying our interview with ML Mathre on this weekend’s important fifth annual Clinical Conference on Cannabis Therapeutics in Pacific Grove, California.

So sit back and relax with your favorite strain, it’s time for your NORML Daily Audio Stash.
