I’m extremely interested in both issues, but more so the Plant Medicine. Not only does marijuana fall into that category, there is a historical context that has been missing. Ben Franklin smoked it, the American Indians did as well. Who can ever forget the Peace Pipe?
Audio is much better now.
forgetaboutit, Pots Pot no one really gives a pooh. Checkout mad as hell doctors . com single payer for california. grass smokin idea!
I’ve tried turning my volume on my speakers all the way up AND I turned the volume control on the screen that was streaming it all the way up, yet I still can’t hear what’s being said.
Any ideas? It’s a laptop, so maybe that’s it??? I’ve run video/audio before on this laptop and was able to hear it, although I don’t know if I’ve ever “streamed” anything before.
Sorry for my ignorance, just thought I’d ask if anyone has any ideas.
having the same difficulties – and it’s killin’ me, ’cause Jane’s tweets make it sound interesting as hell
I clicked here and opened it in a separate window. Listening to it now very comfortably.
Hey; Harrison Ford is shooting at Hollywood Studio’s today, should be FUN! He’s COOL.
thanks !
duh
Thanks for the suggestions. I’m pretty sure it just ended though. It looks that away and from what I COULD hear it sounded like it was over.
My bad, I knew I was a little late, but I must’ve had the wrong time as if this really started at 7:30 EDT and it’s already over then that would be one of the shortest debates I’ve ever heard of.
I screwed up the time, and the sound. Other than that, everything was great!!! :)
Caught the last bit of this broadcast and featured on our site. Thank you for making live feeds of this nature available. Any additional heads up of coming live broadcasts would be appreciated. We will feature you again.
It’s wonderful to see civil discussions like this.

I was so disappointed with the production values that I stopped listening after about 20-30 minutes. It didn’t get better as it went along.
Will the full video be up somewhere?
