Download the NORML Daily Audio Stash for 2008-05-20

It’s Tuesday, May 20th and it’s 4:20 somewhere in the world. I’m your host, “Radical” Russ Belville.

We here at NORML would like to remind you to get involved in the cannabis civil rights movement and join us here at NORML – you can learn everything you need to know at NORML.org. Make a donation, write a letter, attend a march – it all starts with you. Call your Congress at 202-224-3121 – they’ll ask your zip code and put you in touch with your elected officials. Tell them to support HR5842 and HR5843 to end DEA raids in medical marijuana states and legalize personal possession of pot. It still is a government of We the People, but you have to step up and do your part.

Tuesday is Government at Work day on the podcast, and coming up after the news, we’re going to speak with Tonya Davis of North Ohio NORML. Tonya’s here to deliver the fantastic news of the Ohio Medical Compassion Act, a medical marijuana bill sponsored by state senator Tom Roberts which will be introduced this Friday.  (See Tonya’s YouTube videos and her MySpace page, too.)

After that Cannabis Karri brings us some instrumental electronica from Machine Love. It’s a trippy little number called “Stoner Girl” and I hereby dedicate it to all the sativa sisters and ganja girls listening to the Stash.

We’ll wrap up today with Professor Geraint Osborne from the University of Alberta in Canada. He’s just released some interesting data on the “typical” Canadian cannabis consumer and found that we come from all walks of life.

We’ve also got another great NORML Pass the Stash contest. This time you could win the uncensored DVD of “Totally Baked”, written by Craig Shoemaker (a guest on the Stash). Bonus for you Stashers: it’s autographed by the Executive Producer, Brian Johnson, the lead singer of AC/DC! No joke, there are even three brand new Brian Johnson songs on the DVD. Listen for details later in the podcast on how you can win.

There’s plenty to talk about, so sit back and relax with your favorite strain – this is your NORML Daily Audio Stash.
