Our second guest! C. Christian Young, A trial attorney of 14 years with a focus on representing individuals and organizations who have been subjected to criminal investigations or criminal accusations by state and federal law enforcement agencies. I have met many great people and families who have become casualties of the failed war on drugs along the way. Long before I became an attorney, I was a strong advocate for the decriminalization and legalization of marijuana. My colleagues are John R. Gulash and Eugene J.

Together, we are strong team defending and fighting for our individual rights and freedoms.
POT, INC. (April 2012 / $22.95 / 9781402779251/ Sterling Publishing) chronicles Greg's journey into DIY ganjapreneurialism, as he learns how to cultivate marijuana, examines America's often unduly harsh laws, and unearths ignorance about pot's centuries-old therapeutic value--ignorance the government is desperate to maintain. Along the way, he also gains a very personal insight into the drug's medicinal value that shapes his opinion about legalization.
Campbell traces the historic roots of marijuana prohibition and in the process he discovers that it’s not nearly the evil specter that the propaganda has made it out to be. Instead, he finds an entire subculture of marijuana users that have existed in the shadow of prosecution for decades—and their motivation has nothing to do with recreational use. In fact, he finds that underground medical marijuana users, who face the same risk of imprisonment as their recreational counterparts, are much closer to him than he would have ever imaged.
The result is a riveting first-person investigation—at times both comic and tragic—into one of the most unrecognized civil rights movements of our time. GREG CAMPBELL is the co-author of Flawless: Inside the Largest Diamond Heist in History (a Denver Post, Globe & Mail, and Library Journal bestseller) and the author of Blood Diamonds: Tracing the Deadly Path of the World's Most Precious Stones (the source material for the Leonardo DiCaprio movie of the same name) as well as The Road to Kosovo: A Balkan Diary. Campbell is also an award-winning journalist whose writing has appeared in The Wall Street Journal Magazine, The Economist, The San Francisco Times, Paris Match, and The Christian Science Monitor, among others. He lives in Fort Collins, CO.

Join Ron and Chris this week with Jill Reed Candidate for President.
Jill Reed (Turner) has announced her candidacy for President of the United States. Reed is the candidate of a new political party, the Twelve Visions Party.
Reed, believes "the country has too many career-based politicians."
"The common person can run. The ordinary person can bring extraordinary things to the country and its citizens," said Reed.
Reed, who worked as a landman in Casper for 30 years and also owned and operated a small business, Jilly Beans Coffee, from 2000-2010, plans to tour the country by train.
"The country's biggest concern will be getting out of debt," Reed said. Her philosophy is that the government should provide only for the protection of the country and its citizens. Any assets that have nothing to do with protection should be auctioned off.

Drug Policy Groups Unite to Demand End to Medical Marijuana Raids Coalition to President Obama: “It is time for a new approach on marijuana policy.” Apr 04, 2012 by Aaron Houston
Six National Drug Policy Organizations Call on President Obama to End Unnecessary Assault on Medical Marijuana Providers
Coalition to President Obama: “It is time for a new approach on marijuana policy.”
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In the wake of recent attacks on medical marijuana providers and patients by multiple branches of the federal government, including Monday’s raids on Oaksterdam University in Oakland, CA, a coalition of six national drug policy reform organizations is appealing to President Obama and his administration to follow its own previously stated policies respecting state medical marijuana laws. In the letter, posted in full below, the organizations call on the Obama administration to bring an end to the federal government’s ongoing campaign to undermine state efforts to regulate safe and legal access to medical marijuana for those patients who rely on it.
The Obama Administration’s National Drug Control Strategy Report 2012, reportedly being released in the coming days, is expected to cling to failed and outdated marijuana policies which further cement the control of the marijuana trade in the hands of drug cartels and illegal operators, endangering both patients in medical marijuana states and citizens everywhere. The members of this coalition stand together with members of the Global Commission on Drug Policy, current and former Latin American leaders whose countries are being ravaged by drug cartels, state officials from five medical marijuana states, and tens of millions of Americans in their call for a more rational approach to marijuana policy.
THE LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA: April 4, 2012
President Barack Obama The White House Washington D.C. 20500 Via Fax: 2024562461
Dear Mr. President:
Our coalition represents the views of tens of millions of Americans who believe the war on medical marijuana patients and providers you are fighting is misguided and counterproductive. As your administration prepares to release its annual National Drug Control Strategy, we want to speak with one voice and convey our deep sense of anger and disappointment in your lack of leadership on this issue.
Voters and elected officials in sixteen states and the District of Columbia have determined that the medical use of marijuana should be legal. In many of these states, the laws also include means for providing medical marijuana patients safe access to this medicine. These laws allowing for the cultivation and distribution of medical marijuana actually shift control of marijuana sales from the criminal underground to state-licensed, taxed, and regulated producers and distributors.
Instead of celebrating – or even tolerating – this state experimentation, which has benefited patients and taken profits away from drug cartels, you have turned your back as career law enforcement officials have run roughshod over some of the most professional and well-regulated medical marijuana providers. We simply cannot understand why you have reneged on your administration’s earlier policy of respecting state medical marijuana laws.
Our frustration and confusion over your administration’s uncalled-for attacks on state-authorized medical marijuana providers was best summed up by John McCowen, the chair of the Mendocino County (CA) board of supervisors, who said, “It’s almost as if there was a conscious effort to drive [medical marijuana cultivation and distribution] back underground. My opinion is that’s going to further endanger public safety and the environment – the federal government doesn’t seem to care about that.”
The National Drug Control Strategy you are about to release will no doubt call for a continuation of policies that have as a primary goal the ongoing and permanent control of the marijuana trade by drug cartels and organized crime. We cannot and do not endorse the continued embrace of this utterly failed policy. We stand instead with Latin American leaders, members of the Global Commission on Drug Policy, and the vast majority of people who voted you into office in recognizing that it is time for a new approach on marijuana policy.
With approximately 50,000 people dead in Mexico over the past five years as the result of drug war-related violence, we hope that you will immediately reconsider your drug control strategy and will work with, not against, states and organizations that are attempting to shift control of marijuana cultivation and sales, at least as it applies to medical marijuana, to a controlled and regulated market.
Sincerely,
Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP)

Listen to Dave Mulford as he talks about his sponsership of the Repeal Cannabis Prohibition Act of 2012 as well as cannabis patient. Jan 24 at the capitol in Topeka, when the House Health and Human Services (HHS) Committee will give HB2330, filed during the last session, a long-awaited hearing.
Dr. Frank H. Lucido MD has been practicing in Berkeley since 1979. He
graduated from University of Michigan Medical School, and completed his
Family Practice training through UC Davis.
He is on the steering committee of the San Francisco Bay Area chapter of
Physicians for Social Responsibility, and is a committed anti-nuclear
activist.
About RCPA of 2012: www.sensiblecalifornia.org
Why the Repeal Cannabis Prohibition Act 2012 (RCPA 2012)?
When the steering committee assembled to draft RCPA 2012, among them were
three attorneys who regularly practice cannabis law in California. The
goal was to insure that RCPA 2012 would be interpreted exactly as written
and implemented promptly. This proposed statute is crafted to actually
accomplish what is intended, which is to create good law. They joined
forces with a dedicated physician and legendary cannabis activist to
ensure the language embodied the essence of the cannabis reform movement.
RCPA 2012 will withstand legal challenges and finally end cannabis
prohibition for adults in California.
