"Radical" Russ Belville
I am the producer of The NORML Network, the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog, and NORML's Outreach Coordinator. I'm married, live in Portland, Oregon, and I am a registered medical marijuana caregiver in this state. I've worked days as an IT geek and nights as a professional musician. Previously, I have been the host of my own political talk radio show on satellite radio. I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" and I travel across the country to educate people on marijuana reform. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to give voice to the Marijuana Nation and to speak for those who can't speak up.

So when somebody asks me what NORML has been doing lately to legalize marijuana, I point to one of our members like Anne Davis and say, “Providing five years of mentoring and networking for the lawyer who’s going to sue Gov. Chris Christie into finally implementing a medical marijuana program AIDS, cancer, and MS patients, that’s what!”

So you’re caught by the cops and you have a little weed on you. Thinking about eating it to escape arrest? It’s not as easy as you might think… unless you plan ahead. There’s a reason why some tokers have an obnoxiously-large refill soda mug on them at all times, and it’s not always about [...]

For me, the choice gets simpler by the day. I cannot vote for someone who has exhibited not just indifference to the drug war but outright complicity in it. I cannot vote for someone who has laughed at my issue in public. I cannot vote for someone who has smoked pot himself and is smart enough to know the policies he maintains are unscientific, unjust, and cruel.

One of many annoying things about the ongoing online debate about Washington’s I-502 (and, to a lesser extent, Colorado’s initiative) is reading detractors who smoke pot continually refer to it as “not legalization” or “decriminalization”. Here are the definitions: Decriminalization is when something that once was a crime becomes a ticket. When a criminal punishment [...]
