Still unpacking a lot of the megabytes from three major events – Seattle Hempfest, the Democratic Convention, and Portland Hempstalk.
Here’s a swell photo of yours truly rocking the main stage at the opening of Day Two of the Seattle Hempfest. Before I was your favorite cannabis correspondent, I spent time from age 11 to age 35 playing bass, from grade school orchestra, through high school jazz band, in the US Army, and finally as a professional touring club musician in the Pacific Northwest.
Big thanks to Tim Pate for having me join him onstage. I do believe that may have been the largest crowd I’ve ever performed for. Hope to do it again sometime!

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.
