I am the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog. 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" for my work producing Oregon NORML's TV show, "A Cannabis Community Forum", and for helping to institute Portland's wildly successful medical marijuana cardholders meetings, where we help sick and disabled Oregonians acquire cannabis plant starts, learn gardening, and understand the medical marijuana law. 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 be our daily voice.

If you put 10 alcoholics,10 meth users, and 10 marijuana users in the same room with their drug of choice and let them use it for 3 hours. then put 10 sober people in the same room and see who they gravitate towards. My point is that 10 drunks are loud, obnoxious, and sometimes violent, 10 meth users are paranoid, irritable, and unpredictable, and the 10 marijuana users are willing to share their munchies with you.
So, guess what I just saw.
Remember the crazy teacher Anderson found? The one suffering from mental illness? The one who tried to place marijuana as the cause of her depression and anxiety (that she had before ever taking marijuana)?
Well, it looks like CNN/HLN have re-edited the AC360 footage and are running a FOX news style terror piece headlined
“Marijuana Causes Depression and Anxiety”
Then cutting to the prohibitionist doc and the interviews of the teacher.
Talk about losing all credibility, eh? How is it they are allowed to misrepesent and lie without ever being challenged?
