Today we take a look at race and the drug war in our conversation with civil rights attorney William Buckman. The drug war began as a means of demonizing and controlling minorities and it continues to disproportionately affect people of color.
Cannabis Karri brings us got some great music from an Italian band with a French name called Amelie and the song “Get High”
And to conclude our look at race and the drug war we talk to another civil rights attorney, Bill Rittenberg, on why a states’ rights argument for medical marijuana worries some people in the South.
We’ve got a lot to cover, so sit back and relax with your favorite strain and enjoy your Daily Audio Stash…

I am the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog. I'm married, live in Portland, Oregon, and I am a registered medical marijuana caregiver in this state. I've worked days as an IT geek and nights as a professional musician. Previously, I have been the host of my own political talk radio show on satellite radio. I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" for my work producing Oregon NORML's TV show, "A Cannabis Community Forum", and for helping to institute Portland's wildly successful medical marijuana cardholders meetings, where we help sick and disabled Oregonians acquire cannabis plant starts, learn gardening, and understand the medical marijuana law. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to be our daily voice.
