marijuana - The Nicole Sandler Show

Today’s Show

I thought we needed a little bit of an escape from the disaster that is Washington, DC these days - so I thought laughter would do us some good. Dean Obeidallah told us about his new film, The Muslims Are Coming , a comedy-documentary about a group of Muslim-American comedians traveling around the nation to do free shows (mostly in areas without many Muslims). Hear that hour of the show by clicking here. I thought we could all de-stress a bit too, something easier to do in Colorado now, as you don't need a prescription for it! I spoke with [...]

Medical Marijuana Monday

You just know that the gang working on the Lawrence Welk Show was smoking pot. Here we are, decades later, and one man is making sure the senior citizens know how much a bit of the medical kush could help them Robert Platshorn spent 30 years in jail for smuggling pot back in the late 70s. As a kid growing up in South Florida at the time, I probably smoked some of his imports. Platshorn was sentenced to 64 years (!!!), but for good behavior and with parole, he got off easy. Or not. Since his release, Robert has been [...]

End Prohibition!

I've long believed that the so-called War on Drugs does much more harm than good. The good folks at Drug Policy Central have come up with a War on Drugs Clock. The amounts reset on January 1 of each year. The numbers below are are cumulative from the first of the year only! // Arrests for drug law violations this year are expected to exceed the 1,663,582 arrests of 2009. Law enforcement made more arrests for drug abuse violations (an estimated 1.6 million arrests, or 13.0 percent of the total number of arrests) than for any other offense in [...]

Speak Out … Or Shut Up!

Once again, I have to point out the hypocrisy of the right. Many of your elected (Republican) representatives now want to charge you for the right to ask them questions. From the idiotic freshman nut job Ben Quayle to the wacky's wunderkind Paul Ryan, these people who were elected to represent all of their constituents are foregoing town hall meetings in favor of pay-for-access events. Of course some - like my congressman (Allen West) are still holding events that they call "town hall meetings". But, as I know from personal experience, they're actually lectures where, if you dare to try to ask [...]

Not Monty Python’s Palin & Jones

"Pastor" Terry Jones just finished up a press conference in which he said that he's canceling Saturday's scheduled Koran burning in Gainesville FL because the Imam of the planned Islamic center near ground zero has agreed to relocate it. Call me a cynic, but I think this guy is full of shit. I don't believe the Imam agreed to any such thing. And if he did, it's tantamount to blackmail or negotiating with a terrorist. Yes, I think Terry Jones is a terrorist. I think this whole idea of linking the Islamic Center in Lower Manhattan with the Koran burning [...]

The Circular Firing Squad Is At It Again

When will they ever learn? Today should have been a great day for the Dems. Seriously. The House of Representatives reconvened to help states insure that teachers, firefighters and police will stay on the job, and to make sure funds were available for Medicaid. Of course, the naysayers on the other side of the aisle have no sense of decency and don't seem to give a shit whether or not their constituents are taken care of... but that whole story has taken a back seat to two other sideshow stories today. First, Charlie Rangel, he of the 13 ethics violation [...]

Independence Day… or not!

I just finished reading a piece penned by the late, great Howard Zinn entitled "Put Away the Flags," which pretty much sums up how I'm feeling on this 4th of July. "Is not nationalism -- that devotion to a flag, an anthem, a boundary so fierce it engenders mass murder -- one of the great evils of our time, along with racism, along with religious hatred? ... Our citizenry has been brought up to see our nation as different from others, an exception in the world, uniquely moral, expanding into other lands in order to bring civilization, liberty, democracy." Ahh, [...]

Is It Appropriate to Say “Happy 420 Day”?

MSNBC's Tamryn Hall actually asked Ryan Grim that question this afternoon, to which he answered an emphatic "Yes.. Happy 420". I'm not kidding... See for yourself in what was one of the best segments I've seen on the place for politics, during the daytime anyway... I put together my own 420 salute, with a little help from Ryan Grim's appearance with Tamryn Hall on MSNBC... And Ryan Grim joined my on the show tonight too, to discuss the origins of 420, and take a look at the progress we've made toward ending prohibition. By the way, if you're curious about [...]
