Download the NORML Daily Audio Stash for 2008-05-22
It’s Thursday, May 22nd and it’s 4:20 somewhere in the world. I’m your host, “Radical” Russ Belville and this is your NORML Daily Audio Stash.
Don’t forget to get on the phone and call your Congress at 202-224-3121. Tell your representative to support Ron Paul’s HR5842, the bill to end DEA raids in medical marijuana states, and Barney Frank’s HR5843, the bill to end federal penalties for personal possession of marijuana.
Today on the Daily Audio Stash we’re traveling across the pond to speak with Steven Rolles, the research director of the Transform Drug Policy Foundation in London, England. We’re talking about the recent reclassification of cannabis from Class C back up to Class B and the overall UK reefer madness obsession with the dreaded “skunk”.
For our musical break today, Cannabis Karri brings us some smooth funky jazz from Yamasaki, with a song he calls “Herbal Remedy”.
Then we’ll finish up with Ryan Davidson from the Liberty Lobby of Idaho. Ryan’s the man behind three initiatives passed in Hailey that legalize medical marijuana and industrial hemp and direct police to treat cannabis law enforcement as the lowest priority. You’ll hear about the latest crazy twist in this story coming up in our Hemp Headlines.
We’re also playing Pass the Stash – you could win a free autographed DVD of the movie “Totally Baked” – keep listening for details.
We’ve got a lot to cover, so sit back and relax with a meeting of your Joint Subcommittee and enjoy your NORML Daily Audio Stash…
