Posted by Liberadio(!) on April 25, 2007 under Uncategorized |

Summary: Our guest in this segment is Allen F. St. Pierre, Executive Director of NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. In this role, Mr. St. Pierre has written, debated, and lectured extensively on the topic of cannabis and its prohibition.

St. Pierre is in Nashville today to appear at the benefit to save Bernie Ellis‘ farm. Ellis’ farm was raided and he was arrested and sent to jail after admitting that he had been providing free cannabis to sick and dying people for many years, beginning when he helped establish the Tennessee AIDS Program for the Tennessee Department of Health in the late 1980s. In our interview with St. Pierre, he explains why the federal government is trying to confiscate Ellis’ farm while revealing the antiquated laws surrounding the prohibition of marijuana.
