Today’s Daily Audio Stash is dedicated to the memory of George Carlin, a man whom I never knew, who taught me to speak truth to power; to respect the power of words; to flaunt the First Amendment; to never accept the word of authority without checking it out for yourself; to never fear pointing out the emperor wears no clothes; to laugh at ourselves through all our tragedies; to expose the hypocrisies of church and state; to stay away from cocaine; to not be afraid to be silly; and to curse like a fucking sailor, god damn it! Baseball vs. Football – A Place for Your Stuff – Four Groups That Gotta Go – Seven Dirty Words (that evolved into the Incomplete List of Impolite Words) – I’ll never forget the first time those made me laugh and it’s some of that rare comedy that makes me laugh as hard hearing the hundredth time. You’re dust now, dude. Dust, wind, dude. But the art you created lives on in so many of us.

On today’s Stash we go back to George Carlin’s hometown, New York City, for a two-part interview with Dr. Harry Levine, Professor of Sociology at Queen’s College in New York. Dr. Levine is co-author of the study, “Marijuana Arrest Crusade”, which details the skyrocketing arrest rates for marijuana between 1997-2007 and the racial disparities found in those arrests.
We also revive our Pass the Stash contest – You could win the book “Pot Culture – The A-Z Guide to Stoner Language and Life” by Steve Bloom. And for our musical break we’ve got some raw country from Roger Alan Wade and a song for a road trip called “Stoned Traveler”.
So sit back, relax, and fire up some Toledo Window Box. It’s time for the NORML Daily Audio Stash.
