(Followups set to bc.general, if you've got something really interesting
to say. For most readers of alt.drugs and talk.politics.drugs, this is just
for info. (I assume you're not uninterested in knowing what's happening 
elsewhere in the world.) You probably won't be able to get the station;
however, Patriotic Canadians for Hemp are in the anti-WoD activists list.)



Hemp is in the local news a fair bit these days, what with the Art Gallery
rallies/march, the inquest into Danny Possee's death, the arrest of Kelly
Possee, and other related stuff all happening at about the same time. This
may be of interest.

Tracy Chester, of Coptic Creations (aka Patriotic Canadians for Hemp), and
one of the organisers of the Art Gallery rally earlier this month, will be
on the radio (CKLG/LG73, AM 73.0) on Friday 30 April. I didn't catch what
time she would be on; however, I would guess between 9 and 11 am (that's
when most guests come on.)

I don't know what exactly the segment will feature, but I can imagine:
about hemp and its uses, maybe about the WoD, about rallies, and so on.
Listeners will have a chance to call in and ask questions, debate issues, etc.

That's all I know, because I just happened to catch the announcement by
chance. Apart from the publicity and the opportunity to talk about drug
issues on the air, I doubt if much new ground will be covered at all. I
expect much of the time, Chester will be explaining facts about cannabis
and its effects, uses of hemp, expounding philosophies on the drug war,
exposing myths, and so on--the kind of thing that happens in alt.drugs and
talk.politics.drugs all the time anyway. But if you're interested (and if
you can get the station--i.e. you live in the Greater Vancouver area, or
you've got a sw radio or fancy receiver or whatever), it might be worth
tuning in.
