Tuesday is Government at Work day on the podcast, and coming up after the news, we’ve got audio from the recent hearings at the Oregon State Legislature as medical marijuana advocates, including yours truly, testify against the lobbyists trying to prevent patients from holding down certain jobs based on positive urine tests for marijuana metabolites.
Next we have sarcastically funny hemp hoe-down with music from The Sneakers with their song The Ballad of Devil Weed. Then it’s on to our interview with Dr. Mitch Earleywine as he deconstructs the latest reefer madness headlines from the latest studies that claim marijuana smoking leads to gum disease and is just as addictive as cigarettes.
Also, a little note on the posting times. I’m on the West Coast. Posting at 4:20pm Eastern Time puts me at 1:20pm Pacific, which is impossible for me since I still work a day job (yeah, can you believe it, working for NORML doesn’t pay like working for “the man”… but the “benefits package” is much sweeter!). So forthwith, I will be posting the Daily Audio Stash at 4:20pm Greenwich Time, which is 11:20am Eastern, 8:20am Pacific (I knew it would be 4:20 somewhere in the world before I had to be in the office; Greenwich Time is the default time zone for the planet, so it worked out quite nicely). Now you can listen to the Stash on your lunch hour! — “R”R
