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.

Surprised? :)
- Califano either lied or was willfully-ignorant…
(Backache, body-pains and migraines are
NOT trivial health-complaints, either!)
- Thuggish cops and warmongering military-goons have no business
being in drug-policy nor regulating medicine. They’re not
pharmacologists, physicians nor scientists…
- They’re educationally-unqualified and
need to stay the f.o. of the health-care-system,
keel-over and die already…
The REAL ‘similarities’:
- The nicotine in tobacco has more in common with cocaine,
than cocaine does to cannabis.
(nicotine and cocaine have similar molecular-structure,
nicotine potentiates coke as well).
- Alcohol, rather than cannabis,
is the ‘gateway-drug’ in cocaine and crack usage,
(Initially, thru lowering inhibitions,
secondarily, by allowing one to drink more…)
Cocaine completely annihilates pre-existing alcohol-buzz.
- Heroin has more in common with other opiates and opioids,
(oxycontin, morphine, methadone, etc.),
than it does with cannabis / THC.
(The only logical association I see between cannabis and heroin is
that cannabis has the power to relieve opiate-induced nausea
…PERIOD!!!).
- Heroin is a water-soluble alkaloid, whereas cannabinoids are
oil-soluble terpenes, similar to those found in citrus-oils,
likewise, conferring similar anti-oxidant benefits as citrus oil as well.
This is why I’d rather put a whole bush of poison ivy up my butt than watch fox news channel. It’s less painful and involves less anal seepage. Sorry for that disgusting mental image.
This kind of propaganda just doesn’t work these days. We have officially called “Bullshit!” on the “Reefer Madness” meme. Cannabis is a wonderful plant for recreation, medicine, and commerce, and we can regulate it the same way we regulate wine and beer. Commercial production is taxed, but personal production is NOT under government control. If we can make 200 gallons of wine a year, we should be able to grow at least that many plants.
Free the forbidden flower! Free the prisoners!
What do you expect from a fossil? The good news is they’ll all die off soon enough
According to the congressional Office of Technology Assessment, research over the last 10 years has proved that marijuana has no effect on dopamine-related brain systems. Marijuana works on our endocannabinoid system, NOT our dopamine system.
Mr Califano just lied to you.
Faster than Alcohol, sorry
Regulation of alcohol doesn’t work? Gee wonder why so many kids can get Weed easy and faster than Pot???
Man these boobs make me sick, here I am trying to get the truth out and I have to see these lies on TV. I’m sick of it; when can we call what we all go through discrimination, when? Does someone have to die at their hands, oh wait they have died in prison and without marijuana as medicine. Do they have to have a public hanging before people see we are the new minority and we are being discriminated against?
I’m really sick of this! What new evidence haven’t we seen that he thinks he knows that is new? None, it all the same BS they have said from day one, to scare parents and keep us down! New evidence, I know, it’s the truth about Marijuana and we all know it! They can’t even say, “Ok let’s have a debate”; they have to make fun of Arnold? They don’t want a debate because they will lose it!
I hope this is because we are getting somewhere; we are hitting a nerve; we are getting closer than ever before and have support rising from the congress and the states. What will they do when we start really winning this thing and when they finally know it? I bet they get violent or do something harmful to us, you watch these oppressors, they will not be able to let this go and someone will get hurt, mark my words.
Califano and the rest of the American Inquisition gang have decided it’s time to simply LIE, LIE, LIE.
His “3 reasons”, I mean, three LIES, marijuana should not be legalized?
1 – Marijuana is addictive. Not just psychologically, but he made the lie bigger than ever by saying it is a physical addiction with severe physical withdrawal symptoms! Incredible.
2 – Marijuana is a “gateway” to hard drugs. Even though the Drug Czar’s own 1999 Institute of Medicine (and every study since) disproved this myth, they’ll keep getting mileage out of it.
3 – Legalization will cause an explosion in use by youth. Never mind the opposite experience in the Netherlands where marijuana is legal and they have HALF the use as the U.S.
You expect this garbage from these guys. What you don’t expect is the media to be so criminally complicit in this crime against the public.
C’mon, Obama, and clean house! Otherwise, your political “capital” will soon go through the basement floor.
How are the junkies going to sell it to the kids and make a profit when the only reason it’s so expensive is because of Prohibition?
If anyone is doing that now it is BECAUSE PROHIBITION ALLOWS THEM TO MAKE MONEY DOING IT.
LEGALIZE NOW!
Wow, that was bad. Just making it up as they go along. I lost count of the lies and logical fallacies they employed.
I’d have to imagine that there had to be a decent percentage of Faux News viewers who were thinking to themselves that a lot of what was said didn’t sound right, even if they usually fall in step with Bill-O’s normal blather.
That is about the most ridiculous discussion between 2 prohibitionist I have seen.
I give it 5 turds
The opponents are trying everything they can folks, but personally I am seeing more and more of them having thier “reefer madness theories’ discredited, so now they have debate and discuss amongst themselves… lol Good shit.
