Download the NORML Daily Audio Stash for 2008-06-25

Today’s Audio Stash features an interview with Tom Daubert, Founder and Director of Montana Patients and Families United.  Tom tells us about the interesting wording of Montana’s medical marijuana law and how it protects the rights of patients on probation or parole.

For our Cannabis Science we speak with Dr. Mitch Earleywine from SUNY Albany.  The good doctor exposes the frauds behind the latest report from the Centers on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) that claim the “Not Your Father’s Woodstock Weed!” is driving the teenagers insane!!!

And me, I’m heading to the Central Oregon Coast!  I love living close to the ocean.  I’m visiting with all my extended relatives at our biennial family reunion.  I just can’t wait to answer the question, “So what do you do?”

“Well, Great Aunt Millie, I read, write, and talk about marijuana…”

My homie The Dirtball is back with another slammin’ track from his CD “Crook County”, because my other homie, Cannabis Karri, is up to her elbows in making tie-dyes for the upcoming summer festival season (you can check out her work at Planet Fantastic).

The Dirtball raps on Suburban Noize Records and I love how he incorporates fresh new sounds into his beats. You’ll hear instruments and genres in his music that reflect the wide open spaces of central Oregon along with his lyrical flow that fits perfectly into any urban setting.

Good day, Stashers! Cannabis Karri has the day off today, so I’m digging into the musical vault to bring you another slammin’ track from my Oregon homie, The Dirtball, representing Bend and all of Central Oregon… you betta recognize!

The Dirtball’s new album is out from our boys at Suburban Noize Records, and it’s called “Crook County”, which is the actual name of the county where Bend, Oregon is located. The Dirtball mixes into his beats all kinds of interesting sounds. Check out the country-style in this track, which is called “Just a Friend”. It’s about that standard line you hear from the girl you really want to be with, but she just likes you as a friend.

Check out The Dirtball on his MySpace page.

It’s Friday, May 16th and it’s 4:20 somewhere in the world! I’m your host, “Radical” Russ Belville and this is your NORML Daily Audio Stash.

We have another extra-special Stash for you to take into the weekend. First, CelebStoner.com’s Steve Bloom checks in with a report from the MPP Fundraiser in New York City.

Then for our musical break we have a special interview with Suburban Noize Records artist The Dirtball. His new CD, “Crook County”, has dropped this week and we’re going to bring you the new single, “Mushroom Cloud”. Even though The Dirtball’s hometown, Bend, Oregon, out there in Crook County (seriously), is a three-hour drive from NORML West Coast Media HQ, I’m still going to call him my homeboy.

To conclude the podcast we’ve got a special interview with Kevin Booth, the writer/director of the phenomenal drug war documentary, “American Drug War: The Last White Hope”. If you haven’t seen the movie, you need to. It may still be running on Showtime or you can get your copy online, or in your local video store on Tuesday, May 27th.

Finally, don’t forget that every Saturday we’re now posting the NORML Weekend Music Stash, where you can get all of the last ten songs from our daily musical breaks in one podcast, suitable for your weekend party pleasure. If you have a band that would like to be featured on our podcast, please send us an email at stash ‘at’ norml.org.
