I am the producer of The NORML Network, the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog, and NORML's Outreach Coordinator. 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" and I travel across the country to educate people on marijuana reform. 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 give voice to the Marijuana Nation and to speak for those who can't speak up.
[...] has begun with a bang! Last week we covered live votes in New Jersey on medical marijuana, live hearings in California on legalization, and live hearings in Washington State on both decriminalization and legalization. [...]
Im sure you Will work it all out RR It sounded great thou sticam
Eh, since she was talking about “medical” marijuana I figured the “medical” context of “quantum” was appropriate.
As for being silent – what was our side to do, jump up and interrupt the cops, violate the procedure of the hearing, and yell, “Hey, they went beyond two minutes!” Don’t blame our side for following the rules, blame the chair and vice chair for not enforcing them equally.
Hi Russ… I did enjoy your debunking for the most part, and you tackled stupidity in many of the ways I would have myself. However, it sucks that you made fun of somebody for improperly using the word ‘quantum.’ Unfortunately the English language is really ‘jacked’ and in physics and medicine it describes something to be indefinitely small, though when used as an adjective out of those realms it can mean a ‘large quantity or bulk.’
Another thing, in the discussions during AB 390… if the pro-marijuana stuck to 4 minutes and the anti-marijuana went longer… why was everybody silent? Where was the person with some fire enough to speak up and get a fair shake? Thankfully it went positively anyway, but still… somebody needs to fight vs. injustice.
My fresh stach is stuck at jan 11 and no coment box with smiles and I just have to coment properly on this thought The greatest discloser this yr is Russ does believe in a god
Sorry I’m Sorry
Amazing show Russ!!! Encore! XD
Russ, great show and awesome job debunking the testimony at the AB390 hearing !
ps: russ i was wondering if you could hyper-link the “Hemp Headlines” stories to their news articles/pages, like you used to in the old daily audio stash format. its nice to read them, cite them, and comment on the hemp headline stories. this new format is confusing. where is the history of the hemp headlines articles from day to day ? help . thanx
