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.
Awesome Russ, I appreciate you taking some time out to Debunk this one for me. You are the man! XD==~

2. Photo of 16-year-old who smoked cannabis every day since age 14 – we all agree kids shouldn’t smoke pot.
3. What’s the point, that we should lock people up to prevent them from damaging their brains?
4. Then what about that middle brain with the much more severe alcohol damage?

Hey Russ, about to listen to the stash! Great work with everything. I just wanted to ask for your help on something though. I was polling people online yahoo answers, as to what they thought about the side effects of marijuana on the brain. One of them was an ex medical examiner or something, and sent me this link to an article with brain scan photos, and then proceeded to call me stupid.

Could you maybe debunk this one for me? I don’t know how to respond….i know you are in contact with medical professionals, and interview them every so often, so maybe on of them could help clarify weather there is any truth to this at all.
Thanks Russ! ===~
