How Pot Went Legit: Livestream with Weed Land author Peter Hecht Tonight at 7PT/10ET

In the early morning of September 5, 2002, heavily armed Drug Enforcement Administration agents descended on a marijuana garden that served as a medicinal and spiritual refuge for the sick and dying. The controversial raid on the Wo/Men's Alliance for Medical Marijuana kicks off journalist Peter Hecht's new book Weed Land: Inside America's Marijuana Epicenter and How Pot Went Legit, which chronicles a transformative time in American marijuana policy. 

Pulitzer Prize winner Dale Maharidge calls Weed Land "essential reading for anyone who is a fan of California's most lucrative agricultural product."

Tune in tonight for a live discussion of this exciting new book, which examines the latest clinical studies on the medical benefits of cannabis, the exploding marijuana marketplace, and the consequences of a federal crackdown on America's largest marijuana economy. The interview will stream live from our Los Angeles studio on Reason TV on Wednesday, June 11 at 7PT/10ET. The video will be available below and on the Reason TV YouTube channel.

California: Where the weed flows like heroine.

[Paul.]

Which heroine?

[Almanian!]

I'm going with Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. There's a fair number of friends of Dorothy in CA, so - I think that works.

George Will writes a reasonable article about the victim culture in which he uses the term 'so-called rape epidemic.'

Michael Eric Dyson hilariously claims that George Will's words re-raped women.

The best line is 'they're re-raped verbally by insensitivities which Will exhibited.'

You know what's insensitive? Comparing sexual assault to a Washington Post op-ed.

[Duke]

This proves yet again that you will never go broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.

[Almanian!]

I feel raped by your comment. Re-raped, even. You insensitive bastard.

[Notorious G.K.C.]

I think this is the offending column. Sorry to be so rapey.

That's what I'd like to know.

How Pot Went Legit:

And denies you your second amendment rights.

[Almanian!]

Smoke the Mary Jane, cough up the Ruger. Simple as that. Cause - DEBIL WEED!

[Robert]

Not streaming for me.

The reel goes around & around, and couple times appeared to dump the film on the floor. Takeup reel, anyone?

[Robert]

Last time it seemed to throw the film up to the ceiling, but then it started going around again.

[Robert]

Since nobody else is commenting, I gather I'm not missing anything.
