Show 004: Three special episodes live from NORML National Conference!
NORML’s new talk radio program, NORML SHOW LIVE, will be streaming for three days at the 2009 NORML National Conference, “Yes We Cannabis”, live from the Grand Hyatt Hotel in San Francisco. These special three-hour episodes will be available at live.norml.org at the following special times and archived for download later just fifteen minutes after broadcast:
Thursday, September 24
11:00am – 2:00pm Pacific Time
Friday, September 25
11:00am – 2:00pm Pacific Time
Saturday, September 26
3:00pm – 6:00pm Pacific Time
The show will be hosted by “Radical” Russ Belville, but with very limited commercial interruption and the occasional narration. After the shows broadcast remotely in the difficult wireless environment of Portland’s Kelley Point Park and the noisy backstage of the Boston Freedom Rally, Russ is excited to present an indoor event that will take its audio directly from the conference PA system.

Today’s Stash: Dan Linn from Illinois NORML joins us for Government at Work to discuss Illinois HB 2514 and SB 1381, the twin measures to make Illinois the 14th medical marijuana state (call the Illinois reps at 217-782-2000). Â It’s like New Jersey, Illinois, and Minnesota are in a race or something.
Jet Baker joins us as a regional Cannabis Correspondent with his report on the Texas NORML reformer’s bootcamp in Austin, or “the ATX, y’all”.
Taku from THC Japan calls in from Tokyo to discuss sumo testing positive for weed, emerging Japanese cannabis culture, and the similarity of Reefer Madness in all languages. Â I take it back – I called Taku… what’s the per-minute charge to Japan?
And Rich Hardesty not only provides today’s Daily Toker Tune, he talks to us about his music and getting his song on the Totally Baked DVD.
Tuesday is Government at Work day on the podcast, and coming up after the news, we’re going to look at medical marijuana in the great Midwest with Dan Linn from Illinois NORML. He’s got updates on the medical cannabis bills that are being debated this week in their legislature. Then we head east to Rhode Island with Jesse Stout of the Rhode Island Patients Advocacy Coalition to discuss the proposal for a non-profit state-regulated medical cannabis distribution system.
After that we go back to the Midwest for our musical break with Sly Joe from Neenah, Wisconsin and his song “High” â just the kind of break Wisconsinites need to soothe the sorrow since Brett Favre announced his retirement from the Green Bay Packers⊠or maybe that’s just me.
And to end the show, I debut a new segment for the Stash â Patient Perspectives â where we sit down with ordinary Americans who have found incredible relief from the medical sue of cannabis. Today we speak with Susan, who is a registered patient in the state of Oregon who is using cannabis to help save her sight from the ravages of glaucoma â something the people of Michigan and Illinois should be considering as they debate enacting medical marijuana laws in those two Midwestern states.
So sit back and relax with your favorite strain â this is the Daily Audio Stash.
