CBC's sad attempt at hip-tv, Zed, did a special episode on Cannabis and poses the question "Is there a cannabis culture?" Some good tunes and short movies they think Stoner's would like, but the highlight of the show is the interview with Dana Larsen.............

This show is fucking boring.

But still, it is an attempt at getting pot tolerance out there to everyone, and I guess it's a good thing. better than all the anti-pot shows that go on the air constantly.

seems like this show tried to keep a very unbiased attitude, which is commendable.

btw gj dana on the interview.

They spent days in pre-interview questions and discussions, but used almost nothing of any of that.

The empty chairs were because people like Emery and Renee Boje weren't able to make it, although they had both given many weeks advance notice that they couldn't come.

I also talked about pot culture in India and many other related topics, but they didn't use any of it.

Kudo's to Zed and CBC for this production. It may not be all people want it to be or think it should be however, it did air on national television and does show a less than negative vantage; perhaps even a supportive stance to cannabis and consumption. This in of itself is a victory for the culture.
be well

The Drug War Vigil Memorial Group
The Drug War Vigil Memorial Group is a social justice think tank that was founded in the fall of 2000. We are five medical cannabis users, dedicated to ending the War on Drugs. We as a group collectively recognize that the militarization of this medical issue and the criminalization of the chronically sick, terminally ill and chemically dependent has resulted in the needless loss of human life, and that this is the true crime.

We create and promote social justice journalism and the 2002 Cannabis Culture Toker's Bowl Drug War Vigil Film Festival was one such example. We are proud to announce the 2nd Annual Drug War Vigil Film Festival to be hosted again in May 2003. Our group is honored to be affiliated with this world-class event and thank Marc Emery for his extraordinary activism in action in support of this event.

The film chosen for first place will receive a Grand Prize of $2000 US. Cash prizes totalling $2700 US. will be awarded for the top four runner-up films. Runners-up shown on pot-tv.net will receive honorariums of up to $250.00
