Today was the big protest of the DEA raids in California, and Tere Joyce brings us Degé Coutee from Patients Advocacy Network live in downtown LA at the protest. This coincided with the announcement from President Obama’s spokesperson that he is in the process of filling senior posts like DEA and will expect his appointees to change policy to fit his expectations of… sheesh, can’t you just say, DEA, knock it off! You’re the p-r-e-s-i-d-e-n-t, you can order people to do things that aren’t unlawful. Not raiding patient providers isn’t unlawful, it’s a question of priorities.
Then Stash Founder and original host Chris Goldstein is back with an analysis of marijuana economics. (Then we’re going to meet later for Radio Voice-Off III: The Reckoning. You know when it’s happening, right? Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY!!! Just kidding – but man, I love Chris’s voice, from a professional standpoint. Me and my damn speech impediments…)
We must all make our voice heard and either write snail mail letters ( since the email has crashed again ) or telephone the White house to make sure our newly elected president realizes he’s about to drop the ball again !
