On today’s Stash I bring you stories. First in Hemp Headlines I tell the story of the Marine corporal who lost all his military benefits for a doobie. Then, Ken Wolski from Coalition for Medical Marijuana New Jersey is here to tell the story of Mike Miceli, a medical marijuana patient. Finally, Brian Michaels, a defense attorney in Eugene, Oregon, appeared on the legal panel of the Oregon Medical Cannabis Awards to discuss DUII and medical marijuana.

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.
We believe that the bill will be posted for a vote by the entire NJ senate as early as January, 2009.

I know the New Jersey bill just passed through Committee, but now when will it come up in the Legislature next?
