I am the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog. I'm married, live in Portland, Oregon, and I am a registered medical marijuana caregiver in this state. I've worked days as an IT geek and nights as a professional musician. Previously, I have been the host of my own political talk radio show on satellite radio. I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" for my work producing Oregon NORML's TV show, "A Cannabis Community Forum", and for helping to institute Portland's wildly successful medical marijuana cardholders meetings, where we help sick and disabled Oregonians acquire cannabis plant starts, learn gardening, and understand the medical marijuana law. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to be our daily voice.

I absolutely agree. Being in a recent car accident myself, I wish I could relocate to a compassionate state like California. I suffer with pain constantly, and since they took me off narcotics, motrin 800 just isn’t doing anything.
On another note….I was summoned to jury duty recently, and the list of exemptions did not include “bedridden”. Great….In addition to not not receiving adequate medication, I’m forced out of recovery to fulfill my “civic duty”.
I hate this state.
Press on Brother Tim….
That’s right folks… Come to TX on Vacation, leave on probation. Everything is bigger in TX, and that includes our prison system and our ridiculous marijuana laws. I love my state, but when it comes to sh*t like this, I gotta shake my head in disbelief and embarrassment. I’ve known many terminally ill people- some whom I’ve supplied to- and to think of how they would be treated in the hands of the law down here is downright vomit inducing. This is not only sad, but it drives a sense of fear into the people; a fear that eventually turns into resentment and negativity towards those who are in place to “serve and protect” us.
