NASHVILLE (Billboard) – Comedian Ron White’s new album, “Behavioral Problems,” recently debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Comedy Albums chart. But White, who made a name for himself on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour with Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy, says the new album will be his last.
“Behavioral Problems” (Capitol Nashville) touches on material as diverse as bidets (“Fifty million gay men can’t be wrong”), his bust for possessing seven-eighths of a gram of marijuana (“When I have seven-eighths of a gram of marijuana, I consider myself to be out of marijuana”) and writer Norman Mailer, who died at 84 after a life in which he drank daily, smoked pot, was married six times and stabbed his second wife (“I’ve never read one of his books, but I got to tell you, I’m a huge fan”).

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.
I’m with you on that one …woulda been antsy long before I got that low.
