“Make life suck less, and we’ll smoke less weed.”

It’s May and we’re back to check in on the state of drug policy and marijuana. How’s it looking since we last looked? Pretty much the same. Not so great. That’s ok though, we have some great stories to talk about this evening. The next show will be next month, so make sure to follow us on Twitter and the rest of the social networks. We always post before we start a live show. Thanks for checking out episode 139 of the Hot Box. Here’s some notes.

“Statistically speaking, one out of five dudes is just going to be a raging d bag.”

Hello, welcome, and happy 420 to all our cannabis loving friends. This is episode 138 of the Hot Box, our more or less monthly marijuana talk show. This is a very exciting time as far as drug policy reform goes, and we are glad to be here sifting through all the bullshit so we can discuss the truly important ideas. Some of these stories aren’t so happy, but that’s how it goes when marijuana is in the news and people have not so hidden agendas. Join us as we analyze cannabis news and tell you what you need to know.

Then we discuss the great corrupted flip flop that is the Obama Administration, and how you can fool the masses into voting for you. It’s the brand new HOT BOX EXXXTREME! Now with more talking. We’re just here to blow your mind. Tap more and keep on reading for some show notes.

HBP 119: Spoiler Alert

“Why did god give me an ass if he didn’t want me to sit on it?”

Hello and welcome to another educational cannabis / marijuana filled episode of the Hot Box. Yes, in case you didn’t know, the drug war is still on and popping with no stop in sight. So do what you have to in order to stay safe, and by safe, I mean out of the prison system. For some reason, after doing this show for a while, it seems to me, and maybe this was blatantly obvious to most of you, but the prison system plays a huge role in all of this. It’s the prison system that eats these peoples lives, destroys families, etc… Or more importantly, it’s the people who have the most to benefit by the prison system running smoothly that are doing the destroying.

Sure, there are some nasty people out there, and they should be locked up or destroyed or whatever you do to people who have nothing else to give society and have become a detriment. But for the most part, the people who fill this system are non violent drug offenders. What happens when you lock up non violent people with violent people? Take a wild guess. I can promise you it’s not rehabilitation. But you already knew that, because you listen to this show, ergo, you are smart. Or at least pretend to be. Thanks for listening, and keep on reading for some notes.
