I am really enjoying my opportunities to speak with former law enforcement officers about the drug war. Today we speak with Jonathan Wender, the professor and former/current law enforcement officer who was fired for his controversial drug war views (see Stash story here).
Then activist/comedian Tere Joyce is back with the newly-revamped Southern California Report, where we get the latest on cannabis culture in Hollywood and beyond. We learn about Tere’s work as a caregiver for an elderly lady and how the state human services department is interfering over medical marijuana.
Tere brings a friend of mine from the PacNW, Mark “The Mustard Man” Kikel (or “Musty” to his friends) on the show to promote a benefit concert to help pay his impending medical bills. A full slate of top PacNW comedy talent is onstage tomorrow in my hometown, Potland, Oregon, at the Bagdad Theater, 7:30pm Tickets are only $5 and you’ll be helping one of our own defray the costs of double hip replacement surgery in six weeks. Mark was canned by his employer and needs to raise only a few hundred bucks to keep the COBRA coverage that will pay for the operation. I’ll be there supporting Musty, and I hope my web-footed homies here in Stumptown will join me.

Sorry to be so late, Stashers, but I got caught up doing a lot of research and blogging under my political hat. See, there was this speech last night that was #2 all-time in ratings for a political convention (somebody else last week scored #1) and I had to address that over at the Blend and the Writ.
It’s 420 Comedy day, and Tere Joyce joins us again. This time she brings us a twenty-year stand-up vet, Bill Browning of ComedyNation.com, and we have a couple laughs talking about the current political race and, of course, weed!
I’ve also got the first portion of my Marijuana and the Media panel from the Hemposium at the Seattle Hempfest. Joining me in the discussion are Dominic Holden, a writer for The Stranger and an activist with NORML; David Nott from Reason Magazine; Mason Tvert from SAFER Choice; and our own Steve Bloom from CelebStoner.com (it was my first time meeting Steve face-to-face).
Plus we’ve got some music from Portland’s late lamented Elliott Smith. Yeah, it’s getting all Portlandy up in this place… because the Portland Hempstalk is just two days away!
