Welcome to The Middle of The Year! Tomorrow my essay on the DEA’s 35th birthday will appear at Lew Rockwell’s site (www.lewrockwell.com), stop on over and give it a Digg and let’s bring some mainstream attention to the Daily Audio Stash!
Today we get our humpday dose of cannabis science with Dr. Mitch Earleywine from SUNY Albany. A new study is out showing that marijuana use is not an accurate predictor of teenage school drop-out rates, once you consider other factors like parental involvement and, surprisingly, cigarette smoking.
Then I’m replaying my interview with NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano regarding the government’s squelching of research on cannabis they know may show promise in treating certain types of cancers, like the glioma and glioblastoma brain cancers. In the wake of Sen. Ted Kennedy’s brain cancer diagnosis, it’s time to re-open this research.
And what’s a humpday with out some hempy hip-hop? Big B and Kottonmouth Kings tell us we can smoke if we want to… So I will! Enjoy your NORML Daily Audio Stash!
