Announcing The NORML Network – Marijuana Podcasts 24/7

I’m excited to announce the next outreach project from NORML – The NORML Network.

It’s a twenty-four hour internet radio station of news, opinion, interviews, music, and live event coverage for the cannabis community. You can listen live anytime by visiting http://live.norml.org on your browser or by installing the Stickam app for your smartphone.  Our anchor show, NORML SHOW LIVE, airs at 1pm Pacific / 4pm Eastern and new shows run 5pm-9pm Pacific / 8pm-Midnight Eastern.

For three years I have been the host of NORML’s official podcast, the NORML Daily Audio Stash, founded by longtime NORML activist Chris Goldstein two years before that.  Back then, we were among a handful of people spreading the growing truth about cannabis on the internet.

Now we can bring you shows from all over the country and even one show from England – Cannabis Cure UK who’s fighting for medical marijuana access in Britain.

The Hot Box from Kalispell, Montana, just last month brought us eyewitness coverage of the latest DEA raids.

John Doe Radio and Mile High NORML have been covering the contentious DUID hearings in Denver.

Cannabis States of America fights prohibition in the South from Florida, the toughest region of the country for reformers.

Green Central Station reports from Des Moines, Iowa, the state with statistically the fewest tokers in America.

Three shows, Cannabis Agenda, California Marijuana Report, and Hollywood Hemptress Hour cover the Golden State from north to south.

Cannabis Times Radio takes us bi-coastal with reports from New York City and Los Angeles.

Drug Truth Network’s Cultural Baggage and Century of Lies from Houston interviews the top national figures in drug law reform.

The aforementioned Chris Goldstein’s FreedomisGreen covers the East Coast reform movement.

NORML SHOW LIVE’s co-host also has a show, The Ganja Jon Show, with the acerbic views of a young man who’s survived two transplants and loss of an eye while fighting for medical marijuana in Oregon.

We begin and end the week with music; The Viper Hour starts us off with a dose of reefer jazz and The Irie Island Hour takes us into the weekend with smooth reggae.

Shows are replayed throughout the morning.  Weekends you can catch the entire lineup of new programs plus 24 hours of Daily Toker Tunes, the best podsafe cannabis music from all genres.

Join us at The NORML Network… where the time is 4:20 24/7/365!

NORML SHOW LIVE back with Dale Sky Clare of Prop 19, Dr. Mitch, and more

LIVE streaming every weekday at 4pm Eastern / 1pm Pacific - also available through iTunes as "NORML Daily Audio Stash"

Between our coverage of the HIGH TIMES Medical Cannabis Awards in San Francisco, my trip to Idaho to help organize new NORML Chapters and to present on legalization at the public library, followed by my first two-week vacation in years, we’ve been off the internets for a while at NORML SHOW LIVE.

I’m glad to be back!  We’re streaming new episodes of NORML SHOW LIVE every weekday at 4pm Eastern / 1pm Pacific at http://live.norml.org.  Join us Tuesday afternoon for a discussion with Dale Sky Clare, the chancellor of Oaksterdam University and a spokesperson for Proposition 19, California’s initiative to legalize personal marijuana use and cultivation for all adults.  The latest Field Poll shows Prop 19 losing 44%-48%, but the latest SurveyUSA Poll has it winning 50%-40%.  Why the difference in the numbers and how is the Prop 19 campaign planning on wooing undecided voters?  We’ll get the answers to those questions and more on tomorrow’s show.

On Wednesday we always visit with SUNY Albany drug and alcohol researcher, Dr. Mitch Earleywine, author of Understanding Marijuana and A Parent’s Guide to Marijuana, as well as the Ask Dr. Mitch column in HIGH TIMES Magazine.  Join us in our chat room every Wednesday to ask your live questions (anonymously if you like) to be answered by one of the world’s leading experts on cannabis.

Plus you’ll get all of our Daily Toker Tunes, 420-friendly music from independent artists in all genres, the latest news headlines from Cannabis Karri, coverage of our special events from the road, and all my Radical Rants.  Marijuana may not be addictive… but NORML SHOW LIVE sure is!  Make us your daily break for the latest news and opinion from NORML.
