Aziz Ansari is quickly becoming one of the biggest names in comedy. He is currently starring in a
popular television series, has a number of films on deck and recently debuted his first hour‐long standup
special and album. Entertainment Weekly has named him one of the top 12 “Future Stars of Comedy”
and Paste Magazine recently named him one of the “Top 10 Comedians of the Decade.” The Hollywood
Reporter said that he “has become one of the most prolific writers and performers on the comedy scene
in recent years.”

Ansari currently co‐stars opposite of Amy Poehler in the critically acclaimed NBC series, “Parks
and Recreation.” This past January, Ansari released an hour long standup special on Comedy Central titled, “Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening.” Additionally, Ansari is currently developing three films for Judd Apatow and Universal with Director Jason Woliner. The collaboration with Apatow began on Universal’s Funny People, where Ansari created the popular character of ‘Raaaaaaaandy,’ who went on to become a viral hit on FunnyOrDie.com. This summer he will appear in Get Him to the Greek alongside Russell Brand, Jonah Hill and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, as a co‐worker of Hill’s character.

Ansari will embark on a major multi‐city standup tour this summer called the “Dangerously
Delicious Tour.” He began performing standup in 2001 while attending NYU and continues to perform
at venues all over the world today. In 2005, Rolling Stone named him their choice for “Hot Standup” on
their annual Hot List, and he was also awarded the Jury Award for Best Standup at the US Comedy Arts
Festival in Aspen in 2006.

ATTENTION, UCLA HERBAL ENTHUSIASTS/OPPONENTS/PART-TIME STONERS:

Whatever your take on marijuana usage, the debate over its taxation and regulation has become a hot-button policy issue of our time. Recent polls show that 56% of Californians support legalizing marijuana, while in the state Assembly, the Public Safety Committee recently approved a landmark bill designed to legalize and regulate the sale of the drug.

On Monday, February 22, Dr. Dale Gieringer, vice-chair of the California chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) will be speaking at the UCLA campus regarding the case for the legalization of marijuana.

The event begins at 8:15 in Moore 100. Admission is free and open to all UCLA students with valid Bruincards.

*The views expressed by Dr. Dale Gieringer do not necessarily reflect those of CEC, USAC or any other affiliated parties. I mean, it’s not like we’ve even tried it that one time, or anything…

Dale Gieringer, Ph.D.
Date: Monday, February 22, 2010
Time: 8:15-9:15 PM
Location: Moore 100

Dale Gieringer has been the state coordinator of California NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) since 1987. He is also Vice-Chairman of the national NORML board of directors, director of the California Drug Policy Forum (DPFCA) and treasurer of the Oakland Civil Liberties Alliance (OCLA).

Dr. Gieringer has published research on medical marijuana usage, marijuana smoke harm reduction, potency testing, marijuana and driving safety, and drug urinalysis. He has testified before the legislature and in court on issues concerning personal use of marijuana. He was one of the original co-authors of California’s medical marijuana initiative, Prop. 215, and the proponent of Oakland’s Measure Z cannabis initiative in 2004.

This will be a formal speaking event to initiate intellectual conversations regarding marijuana policy and usage. The event will be held in a serious academic setting, and is open to students of all backgrounds and points of view who are interested in hearing Dr. Gierginger’s perspective on medical marijuana.
