My Take on a Recent Cause I Joined


Two days ago, one of my old high school friends invited me to join a cause. I am glad it was sent to me. I quickly joined. I want more people to do the same. You see, this cause may tune some people out for the mere fact that it deals with marijuana. The legalization of marijuana.

In April, on 4/20 I listened to a very informative webcast show -- The DAMage Report with
Host Johnny Dam
Correspondents
James Tripp - Comedian
Steve Gelder - Comedian/Filmmaker
Dege Coutee - Medical Marijuana Activist

Topics included:
420, we hardly know thee
Zero Tolerance = Zero Intelligence
And that's why alcohol is legal?!?!?!
Got Pot?

Here is the archive webcast of the April 20th show

The whole show was dedicated to educate the public on pot. His expert guest, Dege Coutee, had enlightening things to share. People called in with interesting stories. And I listened in amazement. I actually took notes! (no surprise to my friends who know I carry pen and paper, always)


Here is the website Dege is on:

It is people like you who understand that this cause is not for "potheads" California has dispensaries that help people with real challenges such as MS, Cancer, and many more. I joined because I am sick of the governmental pharmaceutical rhetoric. But alas, will they give up all the Zanex and such? As Chris Rock said: "Look at all the money Government lost on Polio"(sigh)
