Oh, we’re creeping up on August and that is going to be one jam-packed month for me. Road-tripping to Seattle for the Hempfest, then back to Portland, on to Boise on my way to Denver for the Democratic National Convention (I’ll be covering the convention as a credentialed blogger for another site I contribute to, Pam’s House Blend. If you’d like to click over there and drop a donation for our travel expenses, that would be way appreciated.)
Today I’m speaking with Wendy Chapkis and Richard Webb, authors of the new book “Dying to Get High”, which examines the issue of medical marijuana and asks why getting high in and of itself isn’t considered a medical benefit? They also profile Valerie Corral of the Wo/Men’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana, a patient collective that operates without commerce, and she also joins us on the conference call. This interview will be aired in three parts, starting today.
Then I’m speaking with Kevin Hoover, the editor/publisher of the Arcata Eye in Arcata, California. Kevin recently interviewed the Deputy Drug Czar, Scott Burns, as the ONDCP set upon Arcata’s burgeoning grow house industry to stage a photo-op of medical marijuana gone out of control. You can read Kevin’s interview at the Arcata Eye. We’ll divide this interview into two parts, starting today.
That’s plenty to get ya started. We’re still running the Pass the Stash contest – what’s your story of being busted with the smallest amount of weed? You could win the “a/k/a Tommy Chong” DVD.
