Just looking at some of the podcast statistics when I noticed this:

Quarterly downloads map for the podcast
It is no surprise that 80% of the downloads for the Daily Audio Stash podcast come from the US. What’s fascinating to me is that the 2nd place country isn’t Canada or Great Britain, but New Zealand! A full 8% of all Stash downloads!
Hey Kiwis, we love ya here in the States. Can we call you “kiwis”? You can call us “yanks”, if you like. I am definitely going to have to visit someday.

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.
Sad but true. I live in a free country. Free as long as I pay my tax’s and play by someone else’s rules. Otherwise I’m labeled a criminal and put away.
NZ would legalize in a heartbeat if only one of its largest and most powerful trading partners would do so first. ..when the U.S. legalizes the rest of the world will follow!
The Kiwi’s are supposedly the biggest users of Cannabis in the world.
