It’s Thursday, May 8th and it’s 4:20 somewhere in the world. I’m your host, “Radical” Russ Belville and this is your NORML Daily Audio Stash.

Don’t forget to get on the phone and call your Congress at 202-224-3121. Tell your representative to support Ron Paul’s HR5842, the bill to end DEA raids in medical marijuana states, and Barney Frank’s HR5843, the bill to end federal penalties for personal possession of marijuana. It’s real simple, just call 202-224-3121 and tell them your zip code. That’s it! You’re an activist! They’ll connect you to your representative’s office as simple as that. While you’re at it, why not call your senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them to introduce similar cannabis reform legislation. There are 25 million annual pot smokers in America – that’s one hell of a voting bloc!

Today on the Daily Audio Stash we’ve got a very special interview with Douglas Hiatt. Douglas is a criminal defense attorney in Seattle who defended Tim Garon, the man who was sentenced to death when removed from a hospital’s liver transplant list because of his legal use of medical marijuana.

Cannabis Karri is back with some jam band music from the Pacific Northwest. This time we’ve got Random Orbits and their song, “Blow Back”.

Then we’ll speak with Adam Wolf, a staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union’s Drug Law Reform Project. We’re discussing student drug testing in the wake of the release of the new ACLU paper, “Making Sense of Student Drug Testing: Why Educators Are Saying No”.

We’ve got a lot to cover, so sit back and relax with Bong Sung Blue and your favorite strain and enjoy your NORML 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.
