| Tuesday, December 2nd to be exact, National Geographic is airing a program called Marijuana Nation. It's done by a reporter with lots of hands on experience in the war on drugs. NORML seems pretty hyped about it and it looks pretty good. Trailer... YouTube - Marijuana Nation Taken from NORML's site... "I’m keen to reply to the oft ask question ‘why is cannabis is illegal?’ that if we have a watchdog press regarding cannabis prohibition rather than a lapdog press, there is little doubt in my mind that substantive reforms occur quickly–not over decades, which is what the general pace of reform has been when otherwise intelligent, critically-thinking journalists parrot the government’s propaganda, thereby mis-educating (in some cases, regarding some media outlets, outright misleading) the citizenry who rely so heavily on what is supposed to be verified and credible information." |

Thanks for the heads up. I watched the YouTube video and from the looks of it, the program should be interesting. The host appears to have an open mind towards MJ and when approached with an open mind, MJ doesn't seem to be all that threatening and that raises doubts about the governments claims that MJ is dangerous. Or at least thats my take on it. | |

| I'm so glad Lisa Ling got off "The View". Her talents were wasted there. I think she's a great journalist and has huge cajones. Her Nat Geo reports are always great. I'll definitely watch, thanks for the heads up. I'm sure Lisa will present a fair view of the issue.
