On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about the cost-benefit analysis into legalization of all illegal drugs carried out by the British drugs policy foundation Transform, and why the government's opposition to it is not only ill thought out, but it's actually delivering the opposite of their won stated aims.

Hitting a touch of White Russian, the Dopefiend moves over to chat with The Grow Report's Vapor Mod HudsonRulez and DopeTribe elder Komrade about the growth in the Vaporizer scene in Amsterdam, how it compares to Canada, and the similarities and differences between the two nations' smoking laws, then he seeks the pair's opinion concerning US President Barack Obama and whether his administration is more stoner-friendly than those previous, the worrying situation in Mexico, arming the homeless, the medical marijuana movement, and whether there's any hope for the legalization movement in the United States.

Next the Dopefiend turns his attention to Jay_K and Flick, who give their thoughts on the various strains on offer, before a quick chat with veteran Dopestocker Jonny B who's enjoying the effects of a 9-strain salad, then he heads back towards the Volcano, where Max Freakout is filling one of our monster party bags with Amnesia Haze vapour, and the pair talk about how Max is coping with a neverending supply of Cannabis, the prospects for Psychonautica's and the Dopefiend.co.uk network's future, Max's reaction to the increasing government sanctions on Amsterdam's unique culture, and his views on Druidude's recent Dopestock interview with Eddie Stratton, whether there's any hope for legalization, and whether it really matters anyway, and also about a recent newspaper exposé involving the British government's drug propaganda wing, "Frank" actually telling the truth!
