Today we sail on into the weekend with Steve Bloom from CelebStoner, who just had an exclusive interview with the director of the new documentary, “High: The True Tale of American Marijuana”, which is now out on DVD.

Then to stay in the entertainment field, we visit with Mike Gray, author of “Drug Crazy” and acclaimed screenwriter.  He’s written an op-ed in the San Diego newspaper detailing the insidious rot of corruption and violence the drug war has created in Mexico.  Today is part one and you’ll have to wait for Monday’s podcast for part two.  Ooh, a cliffhanger!

All that and Los Lonely Boys?  Sweet! — “R”R

Wednesday is Cannabis Science day on the Stash, and coming up after the news, we’re separating the stems of propaganda from the buds of truth with Dr. Mitch Earleywine. Today Dr. Mitch has a message for the prime minister of the United Kingdom, Gordon Brown, who is considering upgrading the classification of cannabis from a fine-only drug to one that can get you arrested, despite his panel of experts recommending against it.

Cannabis Karri is back for our musical break this hempday humpday with some reggae from a group called “Pirate Radio”. The song is called “The Dread Pirate Roberts”, and it just makes me wonder if one of the band members isn’t named “Inigo Montoya”.

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.

So welcome to the show, grab your best glass and sit back with your favorite strain… This is your NORML Daily Audio Stash.
