Dean Becker hosts Cultural Baggage, a weekly half-hour interview show on the Drug Truth Network. His recent guests have included Marc Emery, Ethan Nadelmann and U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer, but he’s had trouble booking active high-level law enforcement officials to defend their drug policies on his show.
