Oh My! A Pro Marijuana Segment On The Today Show!
The segment centered around an article in Marie Claire Magazine, who many professional women, instead of coming home to a glass of wine, light up. :)

Along side of the editor of Marie Claire was a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist at the end said that marijuana should be regulated (legalized) and that it had a great deal therapeutic value and she that it was better than alcohol.

7. I just had Mallomars sans pot last week. Yummmmm... Mallomars isn't sold in some places
in the US and they have no idea what they're missing.

5. Really, honestly and truly! What was interesting was that Matt Lauer was actually
trying to take illegality out of the debate!

8. There's a poll up on the Today Show web site about this:
http://www.newsvine.com/_question/2009/09/29/3331430-is-it-socially-acceptable-or-still-taboo-for-professionals-to-smoke-pot

Is it socially acceptable or still taboo for professionals to smoke pot?
89% say yes!


There's a video clip up on of the segment, too, but I can't get it to play for me.

12. Finally, on MSM, an adult, non-hysterical discussion on smoking pot. It was
my pleasure!
