Even Terrorists Smoke Pot! - Episode #59, May 15, 2011
QUESTIONS/COMMENTS FROM LISTENERS:
* Eva sent us a message about other “synthetic marijuana” products that may be on the market. This stuff looks like hash and could easily be passed off as such on the street.
* With regards to our question about if “Doobie” is still a cool word, James wrote in to say: “In my opinion the word doobie will never get old or be uncool it's like the great stoner classics such as Cheech & Chong.”
* Mike T. (aka Splifcoli) shares a couple of stories: [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/25/robert-watson-faces-drug-\_n\_853236.html](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/25/robert-watson-faces-drug-_n_853236.html) and [http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5ixuPPcDzPJRZnh8ZQmIqGNyPSWwA?docId=e2531ecf1700422bbc2b5fe00560e4c1](http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5ixuPPcDzPJRZnh8ZQmIqGNyPSWwA?docId=e2531ecf1700422bbc2b5fe00560e4c1)
* Brandi from South Carolina wants to know what actions she can take towards legalizing marijuana in her state.
* James writes to ask if we’ve heard of Ohio’s 2012 medical marijuana ballot question.
* Shakedown writes in with more info on the Ohio initiative. He also shares a link to a video about the story of Gary and Sherri Burton of Medina, OH.
* Alex writes in from the University of Wisconsin - Madison to [share the sad news of the death of long time Madison cannabis activist Ben Masel](http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/04/30/971679/-RIP-Ben-Masel).
* Patrick sent us a thoughtful email regarding his thoughts on marijuana prohibition.
* Kirk McNeil, executive director of [New Hampshire Compassion](http://www.nhcompassion.org) got in touch via email as well as Facebook about the situation in his neck of the woods. He says: “The [Senate tabled HB442 today](http://www.freedomisgreen.com/new-hampshire-tables-medical-marijuana-bill-2/%20). I think we're going to try and turn their arguments around on them and push for full decrim next session.”
