Abdi Soltani has served as the executive director of the ACLU of Northern California since 2009. During his tenure, he has pursued long-term priorities to deepen the ACLU's presence in the California Central Valley and elevate the ACLU's voice on state policy at the California state capitol.Abdi has worked directly on a number of ACLU campaigns. Through 2015, he co-chaired the Blue Ribbon Commission on Marijuana Policy with then Lt.

He has also worked on campaigns for racial justice, criminal justice reform, voting rights, and immigrants' rights.Beginning in the mid 1990's, the central arc of Abdi's career as a civil rights advocate has been the transformation of California from a state that led attacks on civil rights to a state that is at the forefront of advancing equality.

What is the matter with our drug policy? Under federal law and in many U.S. states, marijuana remains illegal — even though it's far safer than many of the substances we can all get our hands on. Fake an injury and a few hours later, you can have a handful of perfectly legal opioids that start you on a deadly path to addiction. In this episode of Heroin Uncut: The Truth About the Crisis, Jay Lassiter explores the contradictions that kill in our drug policy. More episodes, videos and info at HeroinUncut.com.

The legal sale of recreational marijuana remains limited to a handful of states, but 29 states plus the District of Columbia allow the prescription and distribution of medical marijuana. Ten of those states—which represent 115 electoral votes—went for President Trump in the 2016 election. National polling shows that just over half of Americans favor marijuana legalization, but a much larger majority want the federal government to leave marijuana alone in states where it is legal. While candidate Trump promised to protect medical marijuana on the campaign trail, President Trump's Justice Department wants to be more aggressive against state-legal marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Ultimately, Congress holds the reins on the Department of Justice's ability to enforce particular provisions of the CSA and determines which substances should be under federal control. While marijuana decriminalization is often thought to be a Democrat-friendly topic, some of the best arguments for federal recognition of state marijuana policy rest in traditional Republican values of federalism, deference to local policy choices, and a limited federal government. Moreover, businesses that have no direct ties to cannabis cultivation or distribution like banks and financial institutions can benefit from clear federal rules that tolerate state-legal marijuana transactions. Join us for a lunchtime discussion to explore several ways Congress can reshape federal marijuana policy in a manner that is more consistent both with public opinion and the conservative values of limited government, federalism, and local policymaking.

On tonight's episode of "The Crypto Show," lawyer Jeffrey D. Welsh, partner at Frontera Law Group (jeff@fronteralawgroup.com) discusses with us the legal and regulatory environment for cannabis in California and other cannabis-legal states as well as the reasons why most cannabis businesses are forced to use cash and unable to use banks (and how California is largely an exception). We talk about the corporatization of the industry, why the Feds sometimes raid grow operations in legal states, and outlines some strategies that other states have used to get legalization passed that activists in Texas could use. In the second hour, or guest is Heather Fazio of the Marijuana Policy Project. She recaps some of the hard work and successes already achieved by groups like hers at the Texas legislature prior to the most recent session, as well as some of the achievements from this most recent session. She then talks about the important strategy shift of promoting and increasing activism when the legislature is not in session, the sort of "off-season" tactics in the struggle for our cannabis rights. http://TexasMarijuanaPolicy.org
