Download the NORML Daily Audio Stash for 2008-04-14

It’s the week leading up to Sunday, April 20^th – Cannabis Liberation Day, or as others call it, 4/20. Coming up after the news we have the Reformer’s Calendar to let you know about the special 4/20 events happening this weekend. If you have a special 4/20 event you’d like to promote this week, send me an email at stash ‘at’ norml.org and I’ll plug your event on this week’s Stash podcasts and up on our Stash blog.

One of the events happening at a NORML Chapter near you is the “Roll Your Own Screening” of Doug Benson’s new comedy documentary, Super High Me. We sat down with Doug last week to learn more about the show and how you can help support the end of adult marijuana prohibition by seeing it this weekend.

All this week we’re also promoting the NORML 420 MoneyBomb. This is a fundraising effort by NORML to get as many people as possible to visit 420moneybomb.org on Sunday, April 20^th, and join NORML and get a 4/20 sticker for a $4.20 donation to NORML.

For our musical break on this Blues Monday, Cannabis Karri has discovered Jake Lear, a singer/songwriter from Vermont who gives us a thoughtful tune called “Trouble in my Mind, Trouble in my Soul”.

Then we’ll finish up with comedian Rob Cantrell who is hosting his own 420 comedy show along with Marijuanalogues founder, Tony Camin, in Arlington, Virginia.

Tuesday is Government at Work day on the podcast, and coming up after the news, we’re going to speak with Jon Gettel from Arizona NORML. Jon’s got some interesting information on medical marijuana in Arizona and the recent use of immigration checkpoints to catch marijuana users on the southern highways.

After that I’ve got an acoustic musical break for you. Cannabis Karri found a nice tokin’ tune called “One Toke” by a songwriter named Dallas Leonard who records out of the great state of Virginia. I think we all know what he means by “one toke” and it sure is nice when you can get it.

And to end the show, we have a special treat. Comedian Doug Benson of The Marijuanalogues has a new movie out called “Super High Me” (add it to your Netflix!). It’s a take on the Morgan Spurlock Academy-Award™ nominated documentary, “Super Size Me”, where Spurlock ate nothing but McDonald’s for 30 days and chronicled the effects on his life and health. In “Super High Me”, Benson smokes marijuana for 30 days straight and documents the effects. We spoke with Benson by phone and he tells us all about it.

So sit back and relax with your favorite strain – this is the Daily Audio Stash.
