I am really enjoying my opportunities to speak with former law enforcement officers about the drug war.  Today we speak with Jonathan Wender, the professor and former/current law enforcement officer who was fired for his controversial drug war views (see Stash story here).  

Then activist/comedian Tere Joyce is back with the newly-revamped Southern California Report, where we get the latest on cannabis culture in Hollywood and beyond.  We learn about Tere’s work as a caregiver for an elderly lady and how the state human services department is interfering over medical marijuana.

Tere brings a friend of mine from the PacNW, Mark “The Mustard Man” Kikel (or “Musty” to his friends) on the show to promote a benefit concert to help pay his impending medical bills.  A full slate of top PacNW comedy talent is onstage tomorrow in my hometown, Potland, Oregon, at the Bagdad Theater, 7:30pm  Tickets are only $5 and you’ll be helping one of our own defray the costs of double hip replacement surgery in six weeks.  Mark was canned by his employer and needs to raise only a few hundred bucks to keep the COBRA coverage that will pay for the operation.  I’ll be there supporting Musty, and I hope my web-footed homies here in Stumptown will join me.
