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.
Great question to MPP on softening mmj ballot measures. I can also see the need to soften something, in order to pass it before the state assembly to quash a few congressman opposing it but why water it down for the public, when they already support it ?
If AZ’s measure doesnt cover cronic or severe pain than thats a real shame and there for would not cover more than half the people who could benefit from mmj.
Also isnt it alot harder to amend a measure after it passes than amending it after it passes through the assembly ?
