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.

    Hey Russ, Merry Christmas!! I’m unashamably addicted to the daily audio stash. Great work man!

    In addressing your thought #5 that you mentioned in the 12/24/08 stash, “studies on whether it’s an effective pain reliever have been conflicting”, my question is this:

    The FDA doesn’t test whether new drugs are better than existing ones on the market, it only tests whether they meet the manufacturers’ claims and they’re within specified levels of safety.

    So why does EVERY prohibitionist say “there’s better drugs out there”??? That isn’t what the FDA tests!

    If the FDA doesn’t test other drugs to see if they’re better than what’s currently available then why should marijuana be forced to meet this standard?

    Marijuana is a GREAT drug for some things, and as safe as hell! That’d be enough to allow other drugs to pass the FDA’s testing, so why isn’t enough to allow marijuana to pass???

    The Government needs to send marijuana back to the FDA, and get them to test it right this time!

    Happy toking man!
