Today we mourn the passing of a great pioneer in marijuana law reform, the conservative author William F. Buckley Jr, who passed away yesterday at the age of 82. Longtime friend Richard Cowan, the editor of Marijuana News.com and former executive director of NORML, joins us to remember his friend right after out Hemp Headlines.  [UPDATE: I believe I referred to Mr. Buckley as a "former advisory board member for NORML".  That is incorrect.  While Buckley was a stalwart opponent of marijuana prohibition back in the 1970s as NORML was born, Buckley was never officially on the Advisory Board of NORML.  I apologize for the error.]

Cannabis Karri brings us got some great music from a South African band with the perfect name for the Stash. It’s Chronic Clan, with a reggae/R&B tune called “Gimme da Weed”.

And don’t forget, Thursday is cannabis and the law day here on the Stash, so we finish out the podcast with civil rights attorney Bill Rittenberg from New Orleans and our discussion of the concept of States Rights and why that’s a problematic argument for medical marijuana… especially when argued in the South.

We’ve got a lot to cover, so sit back and relax with your favorite strain and enjoy your Daily Audio Stash…
