Marijuana law enforcement in the city of brotherly love

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

Hour 1
Philadelphia is moving toward changing how minor marijuana possession offenses will be treated. Joining Marty to discuss the changes and what prompted them are Philadelphia District Attorney SETH WILLIAMS and CHRIS GOLDSTEIN of Philly NORML, an advocacy group opposing marijuana prohibition. Then, we'll talk to Carroll Dougherty of the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, about a recent poll they conducted that showed widespread support for the legal use of medical marijuana, as well as growing support for marijuana legalization.

In Cheap We Trust

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

Hour 2
Americans are spending less due to the recent recession, but pinching a penny is a longtime virtue. Our guest, journalist and historian LAUREN WEBER grew up with a tightwad father – he didn’t like to use the family car’s brakes as the pads would later need to be replaced; and reused his tea bags up to ten or twelve times. Weber has taken her childhood experiences and has examined our country’s history of thrift and what was behind the aphorisms of famous Americans like Ben Franklin, and has written a book, "In Cheap We Trust: The Story of a Misunderstood American Virtue."
