Hope you had a great three-day weekend.  Sorry I missed the podcast yesterday, but I was so busy with all of the OCTA press work.  Check out some of the graphics I’ve designed for the campaign at Oregon NORML.  Our press conference (which got Noon, 4pm, 5pm, 6pm, 10pm, & 11pm news coverage on the ABC, CBS, NBC, & FOX local affiliates) is below:

Today for the Stash we’ve got some Reefer Madness from Howie Carr writing in the Boston Herald, and joining us with an instant rebuttal is Whitney Taylor from the Committee for Sensible Marijuana Policy in Massaschusetts.  They’re working on decrimnializing possession of less than one ounce of marijuana as a civil-fine-only offense.

Then we visit with NORML’s Deputy Director Paul Armentano about one of the most cherished theories of the cannabis movement: that Big Pharma is conspiring to keep marijuana illegal because it doesn’t want to compete with the free herb!  Paul says it just ain’t so!

And you get a special two-fer for the musical break, as I catch you up with yesterday’s Blues Monday and today’s tune together.  Enjoy!

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.

    Howie Carr needs to get laid, he is such an uptight prick. Can’t believe he still has a job after writing such garbage. Then again the local newspaper in my community is a piece of work as well.

    I would try to see things from his perspective but I do not think I can stick my head that far up my a**!

    This was an awesome press conference.

    I learned some amazing stuff about a plant that I already love.

    If any of you gals and guys at NORML and Oregon NORML see this:

    “THANK YOU!”

    for pushing so hard for what’s right.
