Please try to keep side remarks - saying high to eachother, etc. - to a minimum so that he can answer the questions. The transcript for this chat will be on line eventually and will be announced at www.cannabisnews.com when it is. Thank You. This is a recording. [11, BigBong]: wwwowww [19, blah]: Once the paradigm shift occurs in mainstream media, and significant "first world" countries have reformed - how will the UN be pressured into amending the treaties, from these rogue nations themselves or from more widespread debate among signatories? [0, Trippin]: people who dont consume cannabis are THC defiecent [11, BigBong]: 35 in the room, a 2003 record [23, TheLibertarianRepublican]: Me too. I'm in Cincinnati. [5, Ric_Smith]: TLC deficient too trippn [15, Richard]: When any major country defies the treaties, that is it. There is a meeting in Vienna in early April about that. [17, maninthejar]: akron [0, Trippin]: amen bro [10, Richard_Lake]: Richard, I know you are leading the internet discussion at the NORML conference. Looking forward to seeing you there!

[18, Kila]: Richard, what do you think about exposing the Partnership for a Drug-Free America in an ad or commercial (funded by legal drug companies). It would just state facts, it couldn't be seen as propaganda. [4, kaptinemo]: @ <1> observer whispered: moved richard cowan char from cnwes to here [15, Richard]: Canada will be the first to challenge the treaties, but the Swiss are just using the Dutch loophole [16, whollysmok]: I think a tobacconist shop should be the model for legal cannabis sales <6> george_mcmahon whispered: dick Cowan is here tnight [17, maninthejar]: BB,Richard Cowan is here [8, mike_mcgaw]: richard cowan is joining us tonight BB [23, TheLibertarianRepublican]: maninthejar- I knew and used to live by Clayton Hellriggle the guy who was murdered during a police raid when they thought he was selling. He had less than an ounce. you hear about this last eyar? <1> observer whispered: moved richard cowan char from cannabisnews to here [11, BigBong]: can-news <25> AlvinCool whispered: this chat is featuring richard hosted, originaly, for cannabisnews readers/posters <1> observer whispered: yes ... please keep side comments to a minimum etc etc :=) [20, afterburner]: Richard, how long are you with us tonight? [10, Richard_Lake]: We are having a special guest chat with Richard Cowan of www.marijuananews.com - moved from the CNEWS chat room here do to a techincial problem, BB. [12, Jay_Bergstrom]: Willie Wortel premisis in Haarlem looks very nice on the updated webpage. Do you plan to stay in the new upstairs bed and breakfast rooms? <1> observer whispered: he's been on almost an hour ... more [23, TheLibertarianRepublican]: it happened in sw Ohio near Dayton. Northern OHio NORML and the OhiO Cannabis Society held rallies and stuff. [29, Martha]: BB we moved here because of a glitch on CNews Chat. [15, Richard]: It costs too much to launch a real media campaign. That it why the Internet is so important [5, Ric_Smith]: How many of us will be in San Fran April 17-20 for the 2003 NORML Convention? [11, BigBong]: webgreetings from australia Ricahrd Cowan [25, AlvinCool]: wish I could but I can't [10, Richard_Lake]: Richard Cowan, we normally keep the recorded formal part of the chat going for about an hour, but a little longer if you wish. It is approaching an hour. It is your call when we stop the transcript. [3, Gary_Storck]: quite a few of us I reckon, Ric! [15, Richard]: There will be around 500 I think. Rosenthal will be speaking and there will be an honor for Jack Herer so I expect a large turnout [5, Ric_Smith]: excellent [9, ]: Using MAPinc to reach the print media iwith letter to the editors is important and free [15, Richard]: I am doing fine [18, Kila]: Maybe NORML could produce an ad like they did about Bloomberg. [6, george_mcmahon]: Richard , I have forgotten ,but isn't us bound to change fed law when majority of states have ? [16, whollysmok]: Long live Jack Herer [5, Ric_Smith]: i'm very much looking fwd to the LTE panel [8, mike_mcgaw]: amen whollysmoke [15, Richard]: No the Feds can resist the states [28, skwrl]: Richard , any plans in the future to return to pot-tv ?? Really miss your shows. They were great. [19, blah]: Agreed - we miss you Dick! [15, Richard]: I am going to start doing an audio program soon on a new website [17, maninthejar]: I'll third that! [8, mike_mcgaw]: excellent [23, TheLibertarianRepublican]: Richard- what does the anti-cannabis forces(WH office of drug policy, DEA, etc.) have up their sleeves for the near future? Any specifics you know of? [15, Richard]: There will also be some video on occassion [8, mike_mcgaw]: i agree with the internet approach to the masses mr cowan [28, skwrl]: I am dying to make a bumper sticker that says "If your not watching www.pot-tv.net you don't know Dick!" [9, ]: thats great I really enjoy marijuananews.com [25, AlvinCool]: Actually they can't resist all the states as voters could then pressure their congressman to carry out what they voted. That would actually change federal law [19, blah]: *Downloadable* video would be good, I've archived all of your audio shows and I'd like to add video to that too. [12, Jay_Bergstrom]: marijuanaTURBOnews.com [23, TheLibertarianRepublican]: ANy knew media campaigns or more letters to US DA encouraging pot convictions? >> [9] left the chat. >> User 0001 comes in from h24-207-11-49.cst.dccnet.com at line 9. >> [9] 0001 is called steve now. [15, Richard]: Thanks I enjoy doing it and I miss doing rants so that is why the audio will resume. It is therapeuitic [11, BigBong]: RCowan do you have any plans to visit Nimbin australia? say around about may when we hold the biggest cannabis law reform festival in the southern hemisphere? [25, AlvinCool]: I would like video on Kaaza to save everyone's bandwidth >> User 0001 comes in from pa-steclge-u3-c4a-86.stcgpa.adelphia.net at line 33. >> [33] 0001 is called 3CMarcus%3E now. [16, whollysmok]: The Feds won't concede that they only have authority to tax, not prohibit >> [9] steve left the chat. >> User 0001 comes in from h24-207-11-49.cst.dccnet.com at line 9. >> [9] 0001 is called steve now. [15, Richard]: I would love to go to Nimbim, mate, but no plans now [25, AlvinCool]: Why can't we use the P2P share's to promote our cause? [12, Jay_Bergstrom]: I often refer to the herb as my Rantabuse. [28, skwrl]: yes definetly downloadable video in .wmv formatte i would like to be able to burn shows to cd's to pass on to friends >> [33] 3CMarcus%3E is called now. [0, Trippin]: theyre in war mode.. they wont rest til the earth is all theirs or in ashes [19, blah]: Wait for encrypted p2p! >> [9] steve left the chat. [16, whollysmok]: ashes ashes all fall down [15, Richard]: After Watergate, there was a saying in Washington. _It_s not the crime, it_s the cover-up. That meant that they were just in so deep that there was no way out. Now the Drug Warriors have the same problem. Even Bob Barr is turning on them, even though he still does not understand what is happening. [25, AlvinCool]: Just put a label of 420 in every title [28, skwrl]: also on Winmx it is similar to kazaa [16, whollysmok]: Bob Barr may be the next Drug Czar. Czar Barr >> User 0001 comes in from h24-207-11-49.cst.dccnet.com at line 9. >> [9] 0001 is called kubby now. [15, Richard]: There is no one magic formula, but in the Gulag Archipelago, Solzhenitsyn said, _If the lying stops the system will collapse._ The same is true of the drug war. That is why I keep harping on their lying [11, BigBong]: whilst there are so many 'cannabists in this chat space i cannot resist asking all of y'all to drop by and check out www.BigBongMobile.com next time you ahve the available time [17, maninthejar]: I lost my job yesterday for ranting >> [9] kubby left the chat. >> User 0001 comes in from h24-207-11-49.cst.dccnet.com at line 9. >> [9] 0001 is called kubby now. [24, Ben_Masel]: Barr began questioning the Drugwar in spring '01, with the Meth bill. [19, blah]: Dick: if nothing much can be done locally - should we all concentrate on State/Federal fronts? Register or join local MJ parties to add more pressure? [15, Richard]: The Drug War presents everyone with the fundamental question of what do we value most [23, TheLibertarianRepublican]: While people like William F. Buckley probably disagree with most anti-prohibitionists on issues other than pot him and others do agree about the waste of the war on drugs. How can we incorpaorate these people into convincing social conservatives the tuht on the matterRichard?? [3, Gary_Storck]: Richard, Will we see medical marijuana an issue in the 2004 presidential contest? Will a major candidate support it? >> [14] jaime left the chat. [4, kaptinemo]: @ [15, Richard]: I think that we have to watch and see what happens with the Iraq war . Like Sept 11 that is going to change everything. However, the peace afterwards will be the thing to watch [28, skwrl]: Johnson- Ventura 2004 !!! [3, Gary_Storck]: ” [17, maninthejar]: $5.00 sez that cannabis will be awedge in the election [19, blah]: We need our own people from our own parties [18, Kila]: Richard, do you think that the majority of politicians are brainwashed, or do they exactly know what they are doing (following an agenda)? [3, Gary_Storck]: Johnson-Thompson [15, Richard]: Most are brainwashed and afraid of the truth and the local sheriff and prosecutor [25, AlvinCool]: sorry guys cannabis will barely be discussed but States rights will be the foremost issue of the Dems [1, observer]: _ [16, whollysmok]: as long as they have a problem with someone gettin high, all the other issues won't matter. medicinal use, industrial, wasted tax money, etc. [33, ]: Richard for U.S. legalization, do you see 2010 (Ive read this on some site) as an accurate date or would you guess sometime before? [8, mike_mcgaw]: the other issues ARE the answer [27, Robbie]: maninthejar: I'll take the opposite bet...drugs is an issue the duopoly will not touch unless forced to do so by outside circumstance [11, BigBong]: USA is the ONLY country on earth not moving in a direction of JUST cannabis Law Reform, it is holding the whole world back from following the swiss [15, Richard]: We still have a hard time getting on the public agenda. [0, Trippin]: its all about prejudice >> [31] part_time left the chat. [23, TheLibertarianRepublican]: Gov. Howard Dean is by far the most liberal Democratic presidential candidate, and he is against med marijuana and decrim. What does this say about the state of the liberal wing of the Democratic party Richard? How will this issue play out in liberal circles? [15, Richard]: I think we will legalize before 2010 [6, george_mcmahon]: richard , what part of this change does education play? [33, ]: YES!! [11, BigBong]: i think that we will RE-legalize globally before 2004 [16, whollysmok]: but if they concede recreational use, then all the other issues cease to be a problem. [15, Richard]: This is not a liberal issue [19, blah]: The facts are already out there, we need to beat their propoganda with our own. [5, Ric_Smith]: its a little unfortunate that with its myriad of uses and applications, cannabis gets relegated to drug policy [11, BigBong]: once the swiss have "passed" thier law... [33, ]: BB: DOUBLE YES [5, Ric_Smith]: gets/got* [25, AlvinCool]: I hope so Richard I'd like to see legalization before I retire to my front porch :) [11, BigBong]: follow the swiss need become the catch cry [19, blah]: BigBong: Johnny Howard has got to go first. [0, Trippin]: not beat them with propaganda.. show the prejudice of their propaganda [6, george_mcmahon]: teach [33, ]: Id like to see legalization before I retire to bed. [5, Ric_Smith]: build schools not prisons [13, virgil]: Do you think the growing problem with Meth will completely overburden the financially sinking ship and require workable solutions to the drug-abuse problem? [3, Gary_Storck]: I'm still saying I'd like to see it in Strom Thurmond's lifetime! [15, Richard]: I think that we need to understand that outside of the developed countries the line between medical and non-medical is even more impossible than here./ [19, blah]: Trippin: yes - but you do this with our own propoganda. The media is the battleground, its all about swinging public perception. [5, Ric_Smith]: thats too bad [6, george_mcmahon]: gary and hoppin strom goes to his "reward" tonight! S [11, BigBong]: following the ultra conservative and ever so sensible swiss alnong a path to JUST cannabis law reform is a far better platform than say "follow the portugese, jamacians etc" [15, Richard]: The cost of the drug war is hurting the states very badly now. This is an opening [16, whollysmok]: agricultural based energy could be extremely beneficial [0, Trippin]: i dont believe in endless arguements [23, TheLibertarianRepublican]: Richard- Ture. this is not a liberal issue, since the marijuana movement is truly a microcosm of American society. people from many different backgrounds and ideologies united for a common casue. Remmeber that the civil rights movment wa supported by more REpublicans but itwwas teh liberal wing of teh Democratic party that was the drvingin force behind the movement and legislation. [11, BigBong]: usa won't stop the drug war until you end asset forfeiture and prisions for profit [29, Martha]: BB I agree with you [19, blah]: Me neither, but we've got to play their game - they've already set the rules. [5, Ric_Smith]: cost ... how do you think the oregon legislators feel about the $900,000 bucks in revenue generated from patient mmj licenses? [10, Richard_Lake]: Heck, I would like to see it before I die. I really started fighting for cannabis hard in '72 and had hopes that we would win this long ago.... [15, Richard]: Prisons are no longer being seen as assets, but liablities. That is a big change [29, Martha]: Me too Richard Lake! [19, blah]: BigBong: Australian asset forfeiture is just as bad [33, ]: Richard, will Belgiums legalization have any major effect on legalization or just another nail in the inevitable coffin? [24, Ben_Masel]: State budgets are THE BIG OPENING rfight now. A minimum bill to try and pass would move personal scale cultivation from Felony to misdemeanor. Kentucky has always had this.... [15, Richard]: I think that there is a danger of the cannabis community being seen as a cash cow [16, whollysmok]: they have to advertise for prison guards around here. they're woefully understaffed >> User 0001 comes in from pcp01518728pcs.reding01.pa.comcast.net at line 14. >> [14] 0001 is called Ron now. [11, BigBong]: tell me about it blah, we fought it tooth and nail and it got in thanx to a bali bomb [12, Jay_Bergstrom]: [5, Ric_Smith]: i keep getting that answer [5, Ric_Smith]: ;-/ [11, BigBong]: as did anti cannabis cafe legislation [6, george_mcmahon]: thats a fact Richard, it already is a big cash producer, I want to get the prices down to real again [23, TheLibertarianRepublican]: BenMasel- So ture. We need to take advantage of this. Most marjiuana issues are dealt with at the state level. Heck Portland just shortened there school year by 24 days to save money. But weed still is illegeal. that is messed up. [28, skwrl]: Did anyone here make a connection with the bombing in april with April 20? [15, Richard]: The aging population is another factor working in our favor. [14, Ron]: Hi Martha and all [19, blah]: We've had it in W.A. for years - no charge needs be layed.......... >> [14] Ron is called Ron_Bennett now. [11, BigBong]: is very hard when our leader is a puppet of your puppet who's strings are being pulled by the daddy bush [29, Martha]: Hi Ron! [9, kubby]: Richard, can anything be done to stop SB 420? [2, Matt]: Richard, do you still get a nice high after 30 years of smoking, or is it very brief? [0, Trippin]: wholly.. theyre understaffed but i bet they were asking for more federal money then they did any years before arent they.. i bet they'll get their money and you still wont see any more new guards >> [12] Jay_Bergstrom left the chat. [7, sdp]: Richard C, as my little sister works for the drug warriors what information would be best to try to change a conserv. republicans views? The medical issue, the imprisoning of nonviolents,the herbal aspect, any thoughts? [19, blah]: How can we avoid replacing the current cash cow with decrim fines, do we hold out and oppose or take every break we can? [5, Ric_Smith]: could you elaborate ... why stop sb 420? [23, TheLibertarianRepublican]: Richard- Only problem is these Reefer Madness folks keep living so damn long because of medical advances they won't die off fast enough to make room for more younger, enlighted folks like ourselves! :) [16, whollysmok]: they're even farming out some inmates to Texas prisons >> [26] Gary left the chat. [15, Richard]: SB 420 requires that we trust people that have shown themselves not to be trustworthy. We need to get that point across anyway [5, Ric_Smith]: k [4, kaptinemo]: @ [6, george_mcmahon]: I been smokeing 1/4 q day for 13 v yrs, and more , I still need only to puff a few more times to get silly hi. same amount as always, fact even a little less [0, Trippin]: yeah.. and here in texas they are farming out to other staes too.. [19, blah]: But they refuse to use our medicine, they'll all be gone eventually [11, BigBong]: talking of cannabis, i happen to have some own grown rolled, anyone want to join me in a 'global synchronized toking session?" [15, Richard]: Actually poll here in Canada shows that even us old farts are waking up [16, whollysmok]: ready [8, mike_mcgaw]: lol richard [8, mike_mcgaw]: bout time [19, blah]: BigBong: bit early ain't it mate? ;-) [6, george_mcmahon]: talk to your mothers fathers aunts uncles, neighbors , they all count . [11, BigBong]: no 4 me [5, Ric_Smith]: yer dentist yer doggroomer yer gramma [29, Martha]: LOL Richard [5, Ric_Smith]: everyone [25, AlvinCool]: ready [23, TheLibertarianRepublican]: georgemchgeorgemcmahon- 1/4 ounce a day??? [6, george_mcmahon]: yep and do it every day, [11, BigBong]: I love to cyber-toke in a chat space full of cannabists [25, AlvinCool]: But George isn't that the government sprayed stuff??? [8, mike_mcgaw]: now thats commitment [33, ]: whoa [6, george_mcmahon]: The libertarian, gov issue and as poor as they can make it and get away with , but I make do [15, Richard]: I think that most of all we need to let editors and politicians know that we know that they are lying. [6, george_mcmahon]: No Not sprayed [5, Ric_Smith]: there is no spray! [11, BigBong]: helps me remeber why me here [6, george_mcmahon]: Dick has seen it [28, skwrl]: hey is your marthag email working? [23, TheLibertarianRepublican]: georgemcmahon- Rock on boy. [7, sdp]: ty richard [16, whollysmok]: why does everyone accept the annual household survey drug use data as credible? do you? [6, george_mcmahon]: Ric has seen it [11, BigBong]: and what me trying to END (JUST Cannabis Prohibition) [15, Richard]: No I don't find these surveys credible [10, Richard_Lake]: Elvy tells me the stuff is not sprayed too. So does Ethan. [29, Martha]: skwrl I'm not sure [23, TheLibertarianRepublican]: whollysmok- alot of people lie. Big brother is just too damn scary to be telling that type of info to total strangers. [6, george_mcmahon]: I use to stay able. But I do (can ) enjoy a good mood just as much as anyone [0, Trippin]: whol.. because they take federal money [33, ]: Not too many people are going to admit to crimes [33, ]: to the govt [33, ]: no less [3, Gary_Storck]: ” [11, BigBong]: so all those who wish to partoke, spark your lighters in 4 and 20 seconds from now :O)--~ [6, george_mcmahon]: Not sprayed, they mix by removeing bud material then putting some back in [5, Ric_Smith]: watch the feb 18 pot-tv episode with ethan/chris bennett .. it was done in one study, by a group of chicago researchers .. not by NIDA [28, skwrl]: i lost your marthag address in a hd crash [24, Ben_Masel]: In my Court Certified Expert opinion, the stuff they give George is no longer "Unfit for Human Consumption.' I now rate it "Poor." [8, mike_mcgaw]: extraction method right geo? [16, whollysmok]: yet that is what the govt judges their policy on, ostensibly [11, BigBong]: spark-up is snick snick flicker flash flame- another joint burning now ain't that a shame- snick snick flicker flash flame, cannabis law broken now ain't that a shame? snick snick flicker flash flame, another joint bburning and I am to blame - so quick click come fan the flame cause the law will be changed and we'll all share the fame ;O)--~ [15, Richard]: Well, my typing is getting so bad that I think that I need to stop, but thanks for the chat. I really enjoyed it. [9, kubby]: Thank you Richard Cowan for all that you do for freedom and for the Cannabis Community! [23, TheLibertarianRepublican]: I'm about to get out of here soon.
