The travel guy talks pot.

1. Love this guy

:toast:

2. When he did his Netherlands visit on TV

he took the time to show the coffeehouses inside and out! Now I know why!

4. I liked how he kept saying "Check out the coffee houses if that's your thing"

At the time I never would have guessed it was HIS thing. :)

9. Well he does have a very outgoing, warm personality

that could be due in part to his pot smoking!

(it tends to have a soothing, calming effect on the nerves).

3. IMO Rick is the best spokesperson we have for the cause

I don't know anyone who doesn't love him and his travel show.

He's kind of the ultimate square, yet he's a tireless proponent for legalization and a regular user. I love that he doesn't misrepresent the issue, he likes pot because it makes him happy, something that Americans are supposed to be free to pursue. He's also one of the only people who correctly points out that MMJ is a completely different issue than legalization.

Be sure to watch all his videos on Youtube. There are about a half dozen.

7. Rick is on the NORML Board of Directors.

Nice to see someone who puts his livelihood at risk for what he knows is right.

10. I had no idea

I enjoy his show, which focuses on the kind of travel I can afford, not the kind where you stay in palatial hotels.

Had NO idea he was a legalization proponent.

I don't touch the stuff - it puts me to sleep - but my SO indulges, and I live in fear of losing our apartment, or my car, or seeing him incarcerated for smoking dope.
