Cannabis Karri brings us our musical break this hempday humpday with some Hawaiian hip-hop from a group called Amphibeus Tungs… voted by the staff of the Daily Audio Stash our favorite new band name. Their song is a relaxing beach number called “Smoke that Feelen” – ah, pakalolo and a white sand beach…
Then we’re speaking with Dr. Melanie Dreher, a researcher at the Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois. Dr. Dreher led one of the most definitive studies on the effects of cannabis smoking on pregnant women and their children.

Then we wrap things up with Mike Gray of Common Sense for Drug Policy, the acclaimed filmmaker and screenwriter and author of Drug Crazy. Mike is promoting a new educational DVD entitled Clergy Speak Out on the War on Drugs and it is a powerful look at the rabbis, priests, and ministers who work on the front lines of the drug war every day and deal with the people left hopeless by addiction.

Cannabis Karri is back for our musical break this hempday humpday with another slammin’ hip-hop duo from Suburban Noize Records with the appropriate name of “Potluck”.

We’re beginning a new feature on the Stash - a weekly contest! I want the Daily Audio Stash and Stash Blog to be more interactive, and that means soliciting comments and questions from all of you.
Here’s how you can win: Just submit your questions to Dr. Earleywine at 420research ‘at’ gmail.com or send them directly to me at stash ‘at’ norml.org. The topic for this contest’s questions goes out to parents:
As a parent, what is your greatest concern about raising your children in the middle of the War on (Certain American Citizens Using Non-Pharmaceutical, Non-Alcoholic, Tobacco-Free) Drugs? Student drug testing, loss of financial aid, health issues, how to talk to kids about marijuana, whatever your question regarding parenting and marijuana, please send it in.
Three questions will be selected by Dr. Earleywine for response on next Wednesday’s Daily Audio Stash. You will remain anonymous and you will WIN a copy of Dr. Earleywine’s new book, “Parents’ Guide to Marijuana”.
Get your copy of Dr. Mitch Earleywine’s latest book, “Parents’ Guide to Marijuana”. Dr. Earleywine is an Associate Professor of Psychology at the State University of New York at Albany and an expert on the studies concerning marijuana, its effect on health and society, and the methodology behind the statistics. He is a frequent guest on the Daily Audio Stash.
Dr. Earleywine lays it all out without the propaganda and scare tactics that parents know won’t work with teenagers. He presents a rational understanding of cannabis, what it is and what it isn’t, and why kids shouldn’t be using marijuana.
Tuesday is Government at Work day on the podcast, and coming up after the news, we’ve got audio from the recent hearings at the Oregon State Legislature as medical marijuana advocates, including yours truly, testify against the lobbyists trying to prevent patients from holding down certain jobs based on positive urine tests for marijuana metabolites.
Next we have sarcastically funny hemp hoe-down with music from The Sneakers with their song The Ballad of Devil Weed.Then it’s on to our interview with Dr. Mitch Earleywine as he deconstructs the latest reefer madness headlines from the latest studies that claim marijuana smoking leads to gum disease and is just as addictive as cigarettes.
Also, a little note on the posting times. I’m on the West Coast. Posting at 4:20pm Eastern Time puts me at 1:20pm Pacific, which is impossible for me since I still work a day job (yeah, can you believe it, working for NORML doesn’t pay like working for “the man”… but the “benefits package” is much sweeter!). So forthwith, I will be posting the Daily Audio Stash at 4:20pm Greenwich Time, which is 11:20am Eastern, 8:20am Pacific (I knew it would be 4:20 somewhere in the world before I had to be in the office; Greenwich Time is the default time zone for the planet, so it worked out quite nicely). Now you can listen to the Stash on your lunch hour! — “R”R
