Montana medical marijuana repeal effort pushes forward

Welcome to our new listeners on the NORML Network. We’re airing at Mondays at 8pm PST and you can find the Network at live.norml.org. We have to cut the show short to fit the one-hour time block, so check out the full show on iTunes or on our web site at CannabisAgenda.com.

QUESTIONS/COMMENTS FROM LISTENERS:

  • Mike lets us know that a Texas prosecutor says Willie Nelson could plead guilty to possession, pay a $100 fine, and play a courtroom performance of his 1975 hit “Blue Eyes Cryin’ in the Rain” as his community service. The Judge gets wind of this suggestion and is NOT too thrilled about it. [link]
  • Thanks Denton for the writeup from the High Times Doobie Awards
  • Blake calls in to ask what’s the loophole that allows states to legalize pot even if it’s not legal federally. [call]
  • Shakedown sends a link to a story regarding cannabis lobbying on Capitol Hill that we’ll discuss later in the show.
  • Several weeks back Sean emailed us asking what are some of the negative connotations associated with cannabis that people draw over from smoking tobacco?
