We talk about President Obama’s recent trip to Columbia and America’s domestic drug policy, discuss Anonymous’ #OpCannabis, new changes to Michigan’s medical marijuana law and the Tupac hologram. We also read some tweets we’ve gotten, give some Tiwtter shutouts to our listeners and check out some porn parody movies….I kinda forget what else happened. Pretend it’s 4/20 all over again and everyday all the time.

Re:Fresh 12 – Good Luck With The Apocalypse

Nate — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 15:20:04 +0000

Hello, let us welcome you to 2012. What will happen this year? A Mayan apocalypse? Will be be turned to tang in Third Impact? Will the US provoke Iran into a conflict and end everything in a thermonuclear war? Will we consume all the earths resources and watch modern technology decay and become useless? All of these are possible. But, who cares? Cause it’s time for Re:Fresh! We have our favorite picks of 2011, news about SOPA, nativity scenes in California, crooked cops, and Occupy is building a social network for the 99%. We all might not live to see 2013, but at least you have Re:Fresh.
