Portland Monthly magazine picks five Portlanders they’d most like to have at their dinner party and our own Madeline Martinez from the NORML Board, Oregon NORML, and the Cannabis Café made the list, along with conservative talk radio host and marijuana hater, Lars Larson:
The Perfect Party
The people we’d most like to have at our dinner party this month.
Madeline Martinez
Following the US attorney general’s October decree that the feds won’t arrest pot smokers in states that allow medical marijuana, Martinez—the executive director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws—opened the Cannabis Café, where medical marijuana cardholders can legally medicate. Sorry, Madeline, but at our house, you’ll still have to smoke outside.Lars Larson
Congratulations to the conservative talk-radio host who, in October, saw his contract with KXL renewed for another five years. For Larson, who once threatened to shoot his daughter if she tried marijuana, we’ve saved a special seat—right next to Martinez. Won’t you please pass the brownies, Madeline?
Madeline has been a guest on Lars Larson’s show – here’s a sample:

Still think it would be a fun dinner party? and am I the only one who wants to get Lars Larson and NJ Gov. Elect Chris Christie in a room to ask them what the hell their parents were thinking when they named their babies?
Wow, Madeline did take a hit on that one, but Todd just so you know she is one of the leading activist in OR and had a hand in the Medical and the legalize bills, plus opened the OR marijuana Cafe too, she is a great speaker at all the West coast events HempFest and HempStalk, been on national TV and news too. Normally she would have blown him out of the water, I think a dinner party would even things up, she would be ready for him this time! Madeline kicks butt believe me but we all have our bad nights.
No you’re not the only one Russ who would like to get a shot at that Guy. That Lady did a terrible Job Representing, that’s for Damn sure, fumblin and mumblin . It’s not hard to beat a Prohibitionist with some quick wit and knowledge. I hope when Legalization comes to NY we can choose Who we want to speak on our Behalf.
