Podcast appearances and mentions of robert platshorn

It's 420 Eve, and my friend Robert Platshorn died. So, a special show about pot - weed- cannabis. What ever you call it, it was what Robert Platshorn was known for. He served almost 30 years in federal prison for smuggling pot back in the 1970s. Upon his release, he founded The Silver Tour to educate senior citizens about the value of medical marijuana. Today, we'll go back to our first conversation after he was released from prison. It was on my show on Air America Radio, August of 2009! Not too long after that, he produced a infomercial and asked me to narrate it. So we'll also watch "Should Grandma Smoke Pot?" Happy 420 eve!
