drug czar, drug war, Media, Medical Marijuana
Suddenly the folks in TV newsland are very interested in marijuana policy. Lots and lots of stuff coming up, starting tonight:
I'm scheduled to be interviewed on MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show" tonight, at around 9:45 p.m. Eastern/6:45 Pacific, discussing the newly appointed drug czar.
Then, on Friday, ABC's John Stossel looks at medical marijuana and the appalling prosecution of Charles Lynch. Lynch's case will also be discussed in an Al Roker special for MSNBC, which also includes an interview with MPP executive director Rob Kampia, airing Sunday, March 15.
And on CNN, "D.L. Hughley Breaks the News" is doing a segment on the growing calls for reform of marijuana laws, for which I was just interviewed. Current word is that this will air on Saturday, March 28, with a repeat that Sunday. But TV schedules do change, sometimes at the last minute, so none of the dates/times above should be considered chiseled in stone.
