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.

    - The microbrews took-off after president Carter
    re-legalized home-brewing of beer in the 70’s.
    (Up to that time, wine was the ONLY homebrewing allowed)

    - When cannabis is re-legalized, tax-free, non-licensed homegrowing ought to be allowed as well.
    - This is where California’s and Massachusetts’ proposed tax and regulation acts are better.
    (From what I know about OCTA,
    the state of Oregon is supposed be the only one allowed to grow and sell cannabis, and retail-purchasers have to be approved by the state to purchase cannabis, as well…)

    I agree that we should be allowed our rights, but who will stop you from harvesting your own free from taxation. I think Oregon should move the proposed tax from beer (which will have a definite effect on the micro scene) to cannabis. Best of both worlds, legal buds and we wont be paying upwards of $10 for a six pack.
