I walked in to the opening of the NORML convention here in Portland, Oregon to hear Chairman of the NORML Board of Directors, Steve Dillon, leading the audience in a chant of “Just Say Now.”
I’m here with FDL’s Jon Walker, Teddy Partridge and Michael Whitney. We’re joining Jon Perri and Amber Langston of SSDP on behalf of Just Say Now. Michael Whitney will be on a panel starting at 1pm ET/10am PT that will be livestreamed above.

I thought of you when I walked into the room, CBL2. Was thinking “I wish she was here to hear the crowd chanting her slogan!”
I’m so proud :)

Far out. How’s it feel to be famous?
Can grow some great weed west of the Cascades. Lots of sun and lots of rain.
Refresh, video is there now.

He’s right. These studies were hardly scientific. They make some very broad and unsupported assumptions.
jesus, did he just say “all drugs” ?!?
Kuroneko has never been able to grasp hearing people that she can’t smell…
Thomas Szasz has written quite a bit about pharmaceutical bigotry. Good point, professor.
you have an email addy ?
if you feel like sharing, click on my name and send it via “send cbl a message” link under the pic
Mine gotta be the smartest in the world. Nothing I’ve done has attracted them to the screen, bird films, different pointers, nothin’. They totally ignore it.
I’m going to turn David Nott off because he;s really turning me off.
No. I’m the only person left in the United States without an email address.
I’ll send you one in a bit. :)
totally respect your privacy – just want to share some o/t with ya :D
He’s concerned that people aren’t testing the marijuana at dispensaries? Is he suggestion that someone be tasked with smoking samples of all the weed?
Hmmm….I can’t seem to find your name being linked to anything. What am I doing wrong? Jane’s name is highlighted blue and so is SouthernDragon’s. Yours is not.
Gotta click on the little “f.”
Ah! So I suspected. I’m not a facebook member but [Deleted at the request of commenter]
Delete your email addy from the comments. Just askin’ for trouble.
Back to work. Glad I can watch at work.
Namaste
Maybe one of the mods will do it for me. I no longer can
Oooh! Michael Whitney is a cutie.
Lol!
Will there be anyplace you are having a gathering for people who would like to meet you?
yeppers. ‘zactly the kind of fella I’d like for a son in law !
Oh, you have to be kidding me!
Jane is in town and I missed it! God Dammit!
Shit!!
FYI Tom Szasz is a charlatan.
Your jumps into the comments with negative observations about the messaging and the participants really are worthy of a larger effort. If you’ve got a better way to talk about legalization, or a better way to build alliances, or a better set of allies, or a better process for accomplishing what we’re trying to accomplish here, I’d really like to hear it. But I wish you’d abandon the constant carping mode.
It’s not helpful, and as they say, it frustrates the pig.
temporarily relaxing personal moratorium on ‘heroes’
I effin’ love this woman ! preach it Sister Huffman, preach it !
thank you FDL, thank you !
