As Tam is off this month to get ready for the Marijuana Music Awards, we continue to play the best of vintage stash this ROctober. No “best of” list would be complete with out the Asylum Street Spankers and their anthem “We’re Winning the War on Drugs”. I didn’t quite believe them when I first heard this song. Now I am a believer.

Saturday night I had the distinct pleasure of seeing the Asylum Street Spankers at the Aladdin Theater in my hometown of Portland, Oregon. I first heard of the band when I was surfing around on YouTube, looking for “War on Drugs”. When I saw the video for this tune, “We’re Winning the War on Drugs”, I fell in love with this band.

Wammo, the singer and writer of this song, says what I’ve always wondered, “If there’s a War on Drugs goin’ on, how come they’re all around?” He was gracious enough to give me five minutes of his time for the Stash (check today’s podcast) and a CD of their 2000 release, “Spanker Madness”, which is an album about nothing but marijuana, even down to the retro “Reefer Madness” cover art.

Download the NORML Weekend Music Stash for 2008-04-05

Every Saturday, Cannabis Karri and I put together the ten most recent songs from the Daily Audio Stash musical breaks. We’re calling it the Weekend Music Stash, and it’s a perfect setlist of toker-friendly tunes for you to jam out with over the weekend. Here’s what you’ll get:

1. “Like Smoke” by Aaron English
2. “Let it Burn” by Ivy League
3. “Get High” by Potluck
4. “Jack Herer” by The Dixon Chicks
5. “Winning the War on Drugs” by Asylum Street Spankers
6. “I’m Kinda High” by The Tallbrothers
7. “Mary Jane I’ve Smoked My Last One” by The Den Collective
8. “Relax Your Mind” by Molly & Sonny Boy
9. “I Smoke Herbs” by Ben Base
10. “P rozac Blues”* by Ernie Southern

Here’s a party hint: Since each Weekend Music Stash is the last ten songs, the first five songs on this Stash will be the last five songs on next week’s Stash. So if you want to listen to a continuous stream of unrepeated music, just cue up every other Stash one after the other.

As usual on Monday here on the Stash, it’s Pot and Politics day, so we’ve got our Reformer’s Calendar right after the news. Then we speak with Keith Stroup, the founder and legal director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. Keith brings us some excellent news about Rep. Barney Frank, who is championing our cause by submitting a bill to end all federal criminal penalties for possession and non-profit transfer of small amounts of marijuana.

For our musical break, I’ve got a special treat for you. Saturday night I caught up with Wammo from the Asylum Street Spankers out of Austin, Texas. The Spankers are a seven-piece Americana/Folk band that are well known to the cannabis community, and they have been longtime supporters of NORML. I interviewed Wammo backstage as the band prepared for a show here at Portland’s Aladdin Theater. So today’s song, “We’re Winning the War on Drugs”, comes from the Asylum Street Spanker’s “Spanker Madness” album – an album filled with nothing but toker-friendly jams like “High As You Can Be” and “Pakalolo Baby”.

Then we’re replaying our interview with ML Mathre on this weekend’s important fifth annual Clinical Conference on Cannabis Therapeutics in Pacific Grove, California.

So sit back and relax with your favorite strain, it’s time for your NORML Daily Audio Stash.
