Today’s Stash features part three of my interview with Wendy Chapkis, Richard Webb, and Valerie Corral on the book “Dying to Get High”, which chronicles medical marijuana in California from Prop 215 through the advent of Corral’s WAMM collective (Wo/Men’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana). Catch up with Part 1 and Part 2 from last week.
Kris Krane joins us from Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP) to relay the sad news that the Higher Education Act was reauthorized along with its Aid Elimination Penalty. Learn how that affects college students’ financial aid and the incentive to join the military instead.

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.
