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.
It’s all there. Sometimes when I first post, the MP3 hasn’t quite finished uploading.
Only 16 min.?? It cut off in the middle of a sentence. Thanks for the shout Russ!
