Piece Description

NOTE: Both of these interviews were originally conducted for the NORML podcasts...which I also produce. I am sharing some of the stand-out conversations I've recorded for the podcast with my public radio audience. Congressman Ron Paul of Texas is the lead sponsor of the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2007 and a fierce opponent of marijuana prohibition. He spoke with me on the NORML podcast in May about Hemp Farming, medical marijuana and recreational marijuana use. Chicago Tribune Columnist and Political commentator Clarence Page has long spoken out about marijuana prohibition. He joined me on the NORML podcast in April for a series on Prohibition and Racism. His coversation is personal and starkly honest.
