The ‘420 Guys’ who created the term ‘420’ for Marijuana
Steve Capper and David Reddix are (San Rafael High School, Class of 1971) – are two of the five ‘420 Guys’ who created the universally-accepted phrase ‘420’ when referring to cannabis. At this point, almost everyone is familiar with the “well-coined term,” but not everyone knows its origin. Here’s a clue – it has nothing to do with the date of April 20, yet it is time-related. Hear first-hand how five bright students unwittingly added to the lexicon of American culture and the global zeitgeist – just by setting up their cannabis-related smoking meeting time. Both Steve and David join our 420-lifestyle correspondent to tell this story and many more in a fun and interesting interview.

Women in Cannabis with Chase Roberts:
NORML Deputy Director, Ellen Komp
Ellen Komp is Deputy Director, California NORML (state chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws). Ellen Komp is a longtime marijuana reform activist and author. She began in Los Angeles where she helped plan hemp rallies and volunteered for LA NORML and various initiative campaigns, including Prop. 215, which legalized medical marijuana in California in 1996. Ellen was an editor on Jack Herer’s book “The Emperor Wears No Clothes” and has published her own book, “Tokin’ Women: A 4000-Year Herstory.” She is currently deputy director of California NORML and she blogs at TokinWoman.blogspot.com.
Since its inception in 1970, NORML has been at the forefront in the world of cannabis and the call for legislative repeal. Ellen walks us through the history of this once fringe, and now iconic organization. When you listen to the changes and growth of NORML, you hear a piece of American history and how the cannabis industry grew from the underground to become a multi-billion dollar enterprise that funds government coffers in dozens of states. Now that cannabis is respected and the focus of great medical research, legalization continues to grow. As old restrictions are lifted, one might wonder if NORML will outlive its pioneering usefulness. Quite the contrary, NORML continues the fight to move public toward legalizing legalizing the responsible use of marijuana by adults. NORML still leads the way as it works for consumer access to high quality marijuana that is safe, convenient and affordable. There is a long road ahead, but NORML not only knows how to travel the road, they helped pave it.
