Download the NORML Daily Audio Stash for 2008-02-15

It is with heavy heart that we publish today’s NORML Daily Audio Stash and dedicate it to the memory of Dr. John Morgan, M.D., who passed away suddenly today. Dr. Morgan was on the Board of Directors of NORML and co-author of the excellent debunking manual, Marijuana Myths, Marijuana Facts: A Review of the Scientific Evidence. John was a friend to so many in the movement and he was always ready to help in any way he could to fight the battle against the insanity of adult marijuana prohibition. He will be missed. Listen with the Stash as NORML Founder and Legal Counsel Keith Stroup remembers his friend, Dr. John Morgan, M.D.

[UPDATE: Here is video of Dr. Morgan from the Drug Policy Alliance, speaking about Marijuana Myths, Marijuana Facts. -- "R"R]

We also take our usual Friday look at the Cannabis Community with our CelebStoner.com blogmaster Steve Bloom with discussions about Amy Winehouse and the Grammy’s, Roger Clemens and steroids, and the officially endorsed CelebStoner.com presidential candidate, Barack Obama. NORML Executive Director Allen St. Pierre joins us to discuss the front-page LA Times article about the 2nd-largest doctor’s group recommending rescheduling of marijuana for medical purposes. And we get jammin’ with some new reggae from the Easy Star All-Stars.
