The all-music Stash is back by popular demand! (And because I’m swamped with prep for three major events in two days plus an afterparty!) Last year, I used to make the “Weekend Music Hit” where I’d put the tunes from the past two weeks into on long podcast for your party pleasure. Handling this weekly got to be too much of a chore and I discontinued it. But now with Tam from Marijuana Music Awards serving up all this great music, I decided that I could handle one big music podcast once per month.
I'll be at Pioneer Square all day Saturday from 10am, along with Chief Greenbud from Nashville, Human and The Human Revolution, more speakers, vendors, food, and bands til 7pm!
So every month now, you’ll get your Monthly Marijuana Music podcasts featuring all the songs from the previous month. In order to save time, I’m just going to run the songs back-to-back with no introductions. You’ll be able to get the songlist in the Monthly Marijuana Music post (see below) including our opening bonus tune, “Tree of Life”, by a band performing at the Portland Global Cannabis March, Saturday, May 2nd, Human and the Human Revolution!
“Tree of Life” by Human is Monday’s music with a message, winner of the 2007 American Marijuana Music Awards Best Music Video.
Human, originally from the Appalachian region and now based in California, is the energetic singer/songwriter and front man of the conscious rock band, The Human Revolution.
The band are ecologically minded who walk their talk. They travel on biodiesel and Veggie oil where possible, and their merchandise is manufactured as ecologically as commercially available.
The Human Revolution perform original music in a style they call âmystic country jam rockâ. The band mix screaming guitars, funky fiddle playing, a solid rhythm and lyrics with a message of peace, freedom and unity.
The Human Revolution is more than a band, it’s a movement towards creating a more positive and sustainable world and culture through words, thought and action. Propelling this movement forward is the music of the band, The Human Revolution.

Well, wasn’t THAT one hell of a Super Bowl? Â I was pulling for the Cards and thought my 23-21 Steelers-miss-last-second-FG prediction was going to be pretty darn close. Â But what do you know, a stoner goes and catches the game winning last minute touchdown and is voted MVP.
Well, wasn’t THAT one hell of a Super Bong? Â Michael Phelps was pulling from a big ol’ piece of glass without remembering that cell phone cameras exist now and he is the most famous Olympian on the planet. Â But what do you know, a stoner went off to Beijing and became the only human to win eight gold in one Games.
Well, wasnt’t THAT one hell of a Super Bhang? Â George Obama was pulled out of a Nairobi slum and was headed to the slammer for possession of marijuana and resisting arrest. Â But what do you know, a stoner gets released from jail with charges dropped because his half-brother (a stoner) went and got elected President of the United States.
(It’s Groundhog Day. Â Sonny & Cher keep playing on my radio.)
On today’s Stash, Allen St. Pierre drops by to give his take on the toker trifecta we hit this Super Bowl weekend, and Kelly Maddy from Jopin NORML is here to discuss medical marijuana legislation in Missouri.

“You express a great deal of anxiety over our willingness to break laws. This is certainly a legitimate concern. Since we so diligently urge people to obey the Supreme Court’s decision of 1954 outlawing segregation in the public schools, at first glance it may seem rather paradoxical for us consciously to break laws. One may well ask: “How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?” The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that “an unjust law is no law at all.”
Now, what is the difference between the two? How does one determine whether a law is just or unjust? A just law is a man made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law. Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust.”
Today our nation honors what would’ve been this week the eightieth birthday of the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., on the eve of the inauguration of Barack Hussein Obama as the 44th president of these United States. Â I was sixty-four days old when an assassin’s bullet cut down Dr. King in the prime of his life. Â Today I am six-hundred forty days older than Dr. King when he was killed. Â Tomorrow I will see something few people my age and older thought we’d ever see, yet something Dr. King had dreamed from the start.
There remains a grave injustice to be battled, the most unjust of laws to be disobeyed, a law that by its definition is not rooted in eternal law and natural law: the man made code that declares nature itself to be illegal, the prohibition on cannabis. Â Yet when I mention marijuana law reform in the context of the great civil rights struggles in America, so many are quick to dismiss me with snickers of derision. Â ”You just want pot legal so you can get high!” is a common refrain.
