Chris Goldstein
NORML is the largest and most successful marijuana reform organization working on one of the most important social justice issues of our time. From 2005 to 2008 I had the privilege of serving as the voice for the NORML Foundation podcasts.On behalf of NORML, with Director Allen St. Pierre,  I started-up, produced and hosted NORML's Daily AudioStash Podcast. It went online in June 2006,  Millions of downloads were served and The AudioStash became one of the most popular audio podcasts on iTunes.
In 2008 I  passed the production reins over to the extremely capable Russ Belville- he's on the Board of OregonNORML and host the Radical Russ Show on XM Satradio.
The Stash remains one of the top podcasts in the iTunes Government & Organizations Category, continuing to educate the public on marijuana law reform.
I encourage anyone interested in the topic to visit NORML's website www.norml.org and support reform! Change is Green!

Shaffer Commission Special PT1
When Marijuana was brought under the then new controlled Substances Act in 1970 it was placed din Schedule I (where it remains today) but it was done so as a temporary measure. A Presidential commission was ordered to form and investigate the topic of marijuana across the country.

On the 35th anniversary of that report I interviewed member of the Commission and gained exclusive access from the University of Virginia to never-before-broadcast audio tapes featuring Nixon on discussing the Report.  It was a 2 parter
