<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span dir="ltr">If the legalization of Cannabis is important to you, you've probably
already heard of the smoking hot on-air duo of Mike Cann and Heather
Mack. These Two Hotheads are directly affecting change in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. They are determined to empower
their audience, to get involved with activism in general, especially
with actions that they can take part in within their own backyard, and
local community. T<b>hey help find real solutions. The team of Cann and
Mack are likely to ask one of their many on-air
guests, "How can people get involved to help you with this cause?" What
can you do to help as a citizen? "In my experience, it's been much
easier to effect change at the city, local community, and state level,
rather than nationally. I've had discussions with
Senators, Governor, State Reps and local politicians that have moved the
ball. That's the idea of how we like to do activism. </b>Forget waiting for
the President and Congress to fix it, what can we do local?" Cann says.
When asked if he was excited about this
particular moment in time, Cann said, "Yes! We're getting closer every
day. Some states are going to legalize it, and Massachusetts might be
one of the first in 2016." "We decriminalized in MA, medical is next,
then legal in 2016. Not waiting for the President
and Congress, or even the MA State House to do that, by ballot
initiative. That was a great backdoor way. That's what I always look
for. What can actually bring changes?" <br />
<br />

Governor Gary Johnson called in for a
very revealing interview with Mike and Heather, and talked about Marc
Emery, Johnson's own marijuana use, liberitarianism, a call-in question
about drones, marijuana legalization, and his
run for Presidency. In a recent conversation with, Moms for Marijuana
International, Heather Mack talks to Bettie Retro about the Cannabis
Quilt Project. The quilt is part of a tapestry, travelling around the
country collecting stories while raising awareness.
They're taking on squares of fabric to represent regional conferences,
different states, organizations and businesses, and The Seattle
Hempfest, to name just a few of the contributors. Piecing this quilt
together to make a visual impact on our society, as it's
being impacted by cannabis, the drug war, it's victims and the marijuana
movement, as a whole. Maine State Representative, Diane Russell, calls
in to the show and answered questions about the Obama Administration,
drug raids, law enforcement, legalization and
she also made an exciting announcement on the show! Two Hotheads: Where
Activism Happens can be heard every Saturday, live on UNregularradio.com
at 3:30pm. Call in live at: 617-606-4122.<br />

has also worked with local elected officials, politicians, State, and
Congressional representatives, such as, Barney Frank, Mike Capuano, Ron
Paul, and many more <b>recently called into WBZ's
Nightside, with Dan Rea, to ask Governor, Deval Patrick, about the
medical cannabis initiative and legalization. When Governor Patrick was
asked if the bill passes and would be enforced, he answered with a
surprising, "I think that's what we are supposed to
do." Cann's reaction was as follows, "I would have liked more of a
commitment from the Governor on medical marijuana, but considering his
past negative statements towards any type of marijuana reform, I feel
like he is maybe starting to see the light." </b><br />
</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span dir="ltr"><b>Heather Mack, </b>who spent four years working with the UMASS Cannabis
Reform Coalition and eventually became president, talks about her roll
on the show. <b>"I think I bring a unique energy—I have a lot of enthusiasm
and I get really into each interview. I try to
connect with people and make them feel like they can tell me things they
wouldn't tell other more mainstream media sources. Plus I feel I
connect well with students and young folks who are just getting into
activism, and I can draw on a lot of my experiences
with organizing and leading a student drug reform group to give good
advice." she went on to say, "We really value our listeners
contributions and welcome any suggestions they have for topics they want
to be covered.</b> As far as other areas, I’m interested in
talking about education, social services and outreach for minorities and
other marginalized communities, LGBTQ activism, and women’s health
issues. But again, pretty much nothing is off limits on our show, as
long as it relates to activism—to something you
can get off the couch, off the computer, and do something about." <br />

the show.</b> She has led the the </span></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span dir="ltr">Two Hotheads from the beginning, spending
many hours working with each host.</span></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span dir="ltr"> Her experience and leadership has
been invaluable to the show. "Without her there
would never have been or still be a Two Hotheads show. She thought to
bring Heather in when I already knew her and never thought of her as the
new co-host. That was </span></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span dir="ltr">genius. And she made me much better at radio."
Cann says. <b>"I created this show because there
seemed to be a void in tackling real issues that go largely untapped in
media. I came to realize how their programming (UNregularradio.com) was
all about creative freedom of expression in media. By creative
expression, I mean programming that allows for hosts
to think independently and inspire their listeners related to issues
that personally affect their daily lives without feeling like they're
being, judged, preached at, or spoken down to. Heather and Mike are free
and independent thinkers who don't feel threatened
by my, sometimes, brutal critiques. More importantly, they don't feel
threatened by each other, as opposite as their opinions can be at
times." Carmelita says. </b>"I trust her endlessly to support me and give me
the right kind of criticism that focuses me and
helps me to keep improving. she has definitely taught me that kindness
and patience towards everyone goes a long way, and that it's important
to put 100% effort into everything I do." Mack says.</span></span></span><br />

supported the Two Hotheads show with his time and resources. "I was with
the idea of Two Hotheads from the first pitch. They have evolved into
an outlet where people can speak about issues
that really effect them on a day to day basis instead of the distraction
issues which weigh down many mainstream media talk shows. It's a place
where everyday people can have a voice to speak their mind without being
cut down or hung up on. There are certainly
debates from different sides that get heated but the name sort of
telegraphs that. We support free speech and I'm proud to have a show
like Two Hotheads that promotes that and other civil liberties."</b> KC
Hoye, also from UNregularradio.com says "I support Two
Hotheads and will continue to do so because they have remained flexible
with their format while accomplishing the same goal; to educate. Mike
has been dedicated to the task of pushing legislative reform in the
cannabis community for years. Heather is a wealth
of information, and has been boots on the ground where it matters when
it comes to changing legislation." <br />
<br />
Both hosts will be at this years 23rd Annual Boston Freedom Rally again.
I asked Heather Mack what her plans were for the Rally and would her
rap duo Solo Sexx be performing this year and this is what she had to
say, "We sure are! I’m so unbelievably grateful
to be able to say that Solo Sexx will be returning this year on the
second stage. Last year was an incredible time and we are definitely
looking forward to sharing the stage with so many other amazing speakers
and performers." Mack frequently freestyles on
the show with or about guests. "I also have been a performer for many
years and love whenever I get a chance to rap or sing on the show! I

By Drew Astor<br />
<br />
Personally, I have never thought of myself of being one to volunteer
my effort to do any sort of actual work. Especially something that
involves writing. This is stepping out of my personal comfort zone in a
lot of different ways. I have been going through quite a lot in my own
personal life that I simply won't get into because that is not the point
of this. When Mike Cann posted on his Facebook group, Two Hotheads,
Where Activism Happens, that he needed somebody to do some writing about
what he was doing it was like I was possessed. Finally something I can
get behind. Cannabis reform was my golden egg to enlightenment really.
Yeah, enlightenment. So bear with me as I provide some background.<br />
<br />
<br />
When I first went to College as a bright eyed 18 year old, I was like
every other naive kid who had never truly experienced what the world was
like for those who didn’t get things handed to them. Being a
“well-to-do” white kid from the suburbs in Ohio in a stable middle-class
family, my life up until certain events, has been pretty much a cake
walk. Until I came upon the topic of cannabis reform. Here was
something that in my experience just did not make any sense. I did my
research. I saw all the amazing things that Cannabis was. I simply
could not comprehend why it was illegal. I know the reasons and the
history now. But it still makes no sense why the world at large just can
not seem to get their shit together when it comes to cannabis. <br />
<br />
Here we have a plant that grows naturally in just about any climate on
Earth. It has made it to the upper echelon of evolution by being one of
the most useful plants man has ever known. Up until the times of
prohibition and Harry Anslinger it was used to create our world. Then
somebody with too much money in their pockets and this itch for more
power. If you happen to be an cannabis activist you know your history
and I won’t beat this proverbial drum any longer.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://faceboom.com/groups/2hotheads">Two Hothead, Where Activism Happens</a>. Is an internet radio show that I have
been following for years now. I have always felt them to be my
East-Coast kindred spirits. Doing a lot of the work that I, being a lazy
pot-smoking kid, just couldn’t seem to find the time for. Now because I
have had to stop smoking I have a way to give back to the community
that has helped me through so much in my life. Here is a group of
people who have dedicated what seems like all of their free time to
trying to get this cannabis reform movement to actually accomplish its
goals and here is my chance to write about them and contribute to the
greater good. <br />
<br />
I feel that cannabis being illegal was
pretty much the start of America's downward spiral into the delusion of
greatness many think we are. Don’t get me wrong. The people of this
country are amazing or rather I see it as the people of the world are
amazing and we let politicians grasp hold of the power to put laws on
the books without any real oversight by the population. The majority of
Americans can not seem to be bothered with getting off of their asses to
help, anybody besides themselves directly. We all seem to have this
mentality of “If it doesn’t affect me directly than why should I care.”
Even people who smoke have this problem. “I still get mine, so screw
it”. Let’s be honest, being an even moderately intelligent human being,
anyone can pretty much do anything they want if they think about it hard
enough. The way to solve these problems to is to get people to
understand that when you fight for everyone's rights you're fighting for
your own.<br />
<br />
<br />
So we have a guy like Mike Cann who happens to
be doing everything he can to try and push back against the people
pushing to oppress us. When it comes down to the main points, any type
of prohibition is an attack against personal rights. It is the case of
somebody who has too much power or money to gain saying they know what
is better for you than you yourself do. We have
allowed the wrong people to gain power and then build that power
structure to corrupt all those who enter it. It is slowly making its way
back to the light, but far too slowly in my opinion. I think what this
movement needs really is spiritual guidance, not religious or anything like that. Spirituality is merely the taking back of your own mind or
rather your own heart. I personally have been able to manifest my own
reality in a way that to any outside perspective seems like a psychotic
episode. But I can tell you with my heart with one hundred percent
honesty that my thoughts have changed the world at large more than I
could ever get anyone to believe. I feel that I have experienced two
separate realities. And now I am in the process of creating a third one
that will bring about what I feel is the golden age that we all deserve.<br />
<br />
<br />
Our thoughts and words have more power than any sort of
vote. We can literally change the world directly through meditation of
peace. What if we all meditated instead on peace but could actually
agree to meditate on getting people to vote corrupt politicians out of
office. Or meditate on creating a better global way to live. I realize
this is not what you had in mind when you asked me to write about this,
but this is my head and what it has turned into :) If there is any way
for me to spread what I have discovered to a greater audience I have to
try. The same type of thinking that has gotten us into this mess will
not get us out. We need to change the way people think. If you have been
following me on facebook you know how I work. Peace, love, kindness and
compassion. This is what the world needs to fix all its problems. A
heart based approach. I need to be able to share this human power with
more of humanity. This is how I think I can help the movement. Not with a
short synopsis about the show, sorry if it all collapsed into this. But
its the first time I’ve strung so many thoughts together in writing at
one time and I thank you for the opportunity to allow me to. :) If this
doesn't help you I apologize for getting your hopes up. Feel free to use
any of this for whatever means you wish. Hopefully you can come up with
a way for me to spread this power to as many people as I can. It is so
real. MikeCannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11633922558987686572noreply@blogger.com0
