Today we get our dose of 420 Comedy with Tere Joyce.  Carrie Snow is our guest, a comedy veteran who wrote and appeared on the Roseanne show back in the day.

Then we’re joined by Ken Locke, who is the man behind the Journey for Justice VII: Cross-Country Medical Marijuana Bicycle Tour.  Ken’s a medical marijuana patient who is taking his story of survival, along with his family, pedaling across the US to raise awareness for medical marijuana.  Visit his links and give him your support as he bikes on through your state.

This will be the last Stash post for a day or so - I’m packing up all the gear and heading up to Seattle Hempfest.  I hope to see you there!

While it’s bad that some dogs got shot and killed in a SWAT-style Drug War raid, list of human Drug War Victims is even sadder.

On a lighter note, Tere Joyce is here for our 420 Comedy Report, and she brings with her another alumnus of NBC’s Last Comic Standing, season two’s Jay London.  We also visit with another East Coast comedian, Virginia-based Big Al Goodwin.

Whew, I sure got busy today.  Sorry for the late post.

Tere Joyce is back with more 420 Comedy, this time she’s got Tonya Moon riding shotgun and the conversation is just a little bit randy, baby! Tonya even said, “boobies”.  So be forewarned. 

Part two of my three-part interview with Wendy Chapkis, Richard Webb, and Valerie Corral on the book “Dying to Get High”.  You can hear part one on Monday’s Stash.

Don’t forget to download tomorrow’s Stash to hear my interview with Congressman Barney Frank on HR5843 and more.  It’s my honor to have him on the show!  (Wish me luck, it’s at 7am my time!)

Oh, and today is your last chance to enter our Pass the Stash contest to win a copy of the DVD “a/k/a tommy Chong”.  Just send an email with your story of being busted for the smallest amount of pot.  (I know, cruel of me, there’s only an hour of July 31st left Pacific Time… but you did have ten days to enter…)

Today’s Stash features our cannabis comedy correspondent, Tere Joyce, who brings us some fun and frivolity with legendary stand-up comedian Vic Dunlop.  We get some Reefer Madness by way of Canada’s Globe & Mail.  Bill Rittenberg from New Orleans visits to discuss the increasing felony prosecutions of 2nd & 3rd time marijuana defendents.  And Cannabis Karri brings us some rock’n'roll.  All’n'all, a heapin’ dose of Stash for you today.

Also we’re joined by Sunil Aggerwal, who is a medical student at the University of Washington and their delegate to the medical students’ section of the American Medical Association, which recently voted to approve the rescheduling of medical marijuana.

And I’m diggin’ in the vaults for a toker tune for the day and found Ben Scales with “Growing Marijuana in my Yard”.  Yup, that’s about all the gardening I care to do.  Let’s sit back on beautiful summer day and enjoy some Stash…

In a strange coincidence, both the governors of Hawaii and Rhode Island vetoed bills that would have established task forces to study how to best supply medical marijuana to their state’s patients.  Both states had one chamber of the Legislature overturn the veto, but not the other.  Pam Lichty from the Drug Policy Forum of Hawaii and Jesse Stout from the Rhode Island Patient Advocacy Coalition visit to discuss the next steps forward.

Then Tere Joyce (Last Comic Standing) brings us our 420 Comedy with Jeffrey Petersen.  Jeffrey’s got the goods on the drug czar’s anti-pot commercials, and Tere details the saga of their history with The Dope Show.

Musical break features some Scottish rock from Infallible.  Along with Disciples of Panic Earth, these guys are my favorite Scottish rock.

Gets some bubblegum in your bubbler and let’s do this thing.

It’s a special comedy edition of the Daily Audio Stash!  Tere Joyce (Last Comic Standing, Hollyweed Live) is joining us now on Thursdays as our Cannabis Comedy Correspondent.  Each week she will put us in touch with the best up-and-coming comedians who are on the cutting edge of reefer comedy.

Tere kicks off the segment by describing the incident that turned her from being just another stand-up to being a committed cannabis crusader - a DEA raid at the first medical marijuana dispensary she ever visited!  Now she works with the Patients Advocacy Network and performs benefits for those who have been victimized by the War on Marijuana.  You can see her next at the Castle Inn in Landers, California, on July 12th (a week from this Saturday).

Then we visit with the Associate Publisher of High Times Magazine (and co-defendent in the Keith Stroup Massachusetts Joint-Smoking trial) Rick Cusick.  Rick remembers his conversations with the late George Carlin and how Carlin was instrumental in getting Cusick his job at High Times.

Light your fireworks tomorrow - light a doobie now and enjoy your NORML Daily Audio Stash…
