(NORML) National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws and (DEA) Drug Enforcement Agency back on C-Span October 9th (9am Eastern)

BREAKING NEWS FROM NORML, THIS JUST IN:

C-Span TV: Marijuana Legalization and California Ballot Initiative Prop.
19 To Be Debated and Discussed This Saturday; NORML Director Allen St.
Pierre vs. Former DEA Administrator Asa Hutchinson

October 8, 2010

Dear NORML Members and Supporters:

I have been invited back to C-Span to debate and discuss the topics of cannabis legalization, and specifically California’s upcoming vote on Prop. 19, a measure that if approved by the voters will effectively legalize cannabis in America’s most important state politically and economically.

Former Drug Enforcement Administration chief and Republican congressman from Arkansas Asa Hutchinson has stepped up to argue in favor of the status quo and continuing into a ninth decade of Cannabis Prohibition.

The live interview is scheduled to broadcast Saturday morning (10/9/10) on
C-Span TV, 9:15am – 10:00am (eastern…sorry west coasters!).  Like most
C-Span shows, the public is invited to ask questions or make short
commentary.

To watch online, go to: 

This C-Span interview is likely the result of the Wall Street Journal publishing an unprecedented jointly signed letter earlier this week by every previous DEA administrator predictably calling for Obama administration to actively oppose politically viable cannabis legalization voter initiatives in places like California  (just the way they did).

Is the body politic (and the mainstream media that has so aptly aided and abetted these technocrats’ blatant disregard for democracy, science, compassion and common sense) really, really nervous about the cataclysmic blow that California voters are about to level on a self-evidently failed federal government public policy—another ‘war’ lost by government?

What do you think?

See you on the TV and kind regards,

-Allen St. Pierre, Executive Director NORML, Washington, D.C.
