New Today from the Dopefiend.co.uk Podcast Network:

On the first Dopecast from the Dope Den since the festivities of this year's DopeStock in Amsterdam, the Web's Favourite Cannabis Commentator, the Dopefiend, once again focuses on the spiralling confusion and contradiction surrounding Cannabis Law in the United States despite the Obama Administration's promises of a new approach, with news of what looks like two steps back by the Department of Justice, neatly timed to coincide with new drug czar Gil Kerlikowske's tentative single step forward. Just before he hits the emails, the Dopefiend puts a call out for donations as this week's income will all go towards the Man with the Velvet Voicebox, Lefty, in anticipation of his impending return to the Dopefiend.co.uk Podcast Network, then tackles such diverse subjects as whether cannabis psychosis can be strain-specific, why all stoners should conduct their own research into how different strains affect them and how to avoid a Squidgy Sid-style whitey. Next, the Dopefiend heads into the VaporLounge to take a taste of some G-Bomb, and talk about a recent chance encounter with Dopetriber Herodian at the DopeCave, this year's extraordinary DopeStock and memories of the Canal Cruise and the White Cheese, and the Dopefiend's plans for surviving a couple of very busy months approaching in his private life and how it'll affect the Dopecast. After a musical interlude from TirikiteToker's musical outfit Tibet2Timbuk2, the Dopefiend returns with talk of whether he is naturally an introvert or an extrovert, whether cannabis use is incompatible with Christianity and we hear from DopeTriber Snail about pro-pot documentary Waiting to Inhale and the legal situation surrounding medical Marijuana in his native San Diego. In this week's Cannabis News, a new survey show the most support in history for legalizing cannabis in the United States, further developments in the Marc Emery extradition case, why 30 dutch cannabis coffeeshops are set to become members-only establishments, former Mexican President Vicente Fox calls for the decriminalization of cannabis, and Snoop Dogg comes to the rescue of an aide facing charges for taking delivery of some prime BC Bud.

New Today from the Dopefiend.co.uk Podcast Network:

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about the latest report from the British think-tank the Centre for Policy Studies, entitled "The Phoney War on Drugs", and how it's yet another suggestion of the popularity and effectiveness of a more pragmatic approach to the global drug problem, and further evidence that the War on Drugs continues to be a failure on almost every front. Hitting the emails, the Dopefiend first talks about how his Dopefiend.co.uk wristband and hemp shoes could result in prejudice from anti-drug folk who happen to notice them, then moves on to discuss the dangers of tripping in open water, how low blood sugar caused by cannabis use affects diabetics, the value of therapeutic tripping, the medical benefits of cannabis use for glaucoma sufferers and the cheap and nasty iolite-a-likes surfacing from the far east and why you should avoid them. Strolling into the VaporLounge to find Dopestock regular G13, the dopefiend engages him in conversation about DopeStock, G13's love of indica strains, whether CBD is psychoactive, allergic reactions to cannabis, and the iolite vaporizer while using it to administer some super-strong White Cheese, fresh from near victory at the DopeStock Cup. After a musical interlude from long-time DopeTriber Big Dave, the DOpefiend returns to talk more about how the iolite compares to the air2 Oxygen Mini, and why all stoners should steer clear of the vapir/voodoo/air2 family of vaporizers, more on smoking when young and whether it permanently affects your memory, the incredible revolutionary aspect of the iolite vaporizer, and more on cannabis and creativity and how it relates to video gaming. In this week's Cannabis News, an update on last week's talk of San Diego's now failed attempt to challenge legal medical marijuana policy in California, good news from Minnesota, but only for the terminally ill!, and medical grower Eddy Lepp is sentenced to 10 years in jail, an update on the fascinating Edwin Stratton/Alan Taylor cases, which aim to rock Cannabis policy in the UK to its core, and the sheriff charged with selling a pound of cannabis a week!

New This week from the Dopefiend.co.uk Podcast Network:

On this week's epsiode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend is LIVE on the banks of the River Thames with Dopetriber Esse B and the Dopefiend.co.uk's resident entheo-pundit Max Freakout to talk in detail about the extraordinary story of Esse B's 11-year battle against the bizarre condition Cannabinoid Hyperemesis, the symptoms, the cause, the misdiagnoses, and the response from the cannabis community to the discovery of this condition. The discussion then moves on to how the pro-legalization movement can be as blinkered and as guilty of spreading unfounded propaganda as the prohibition movement, and why it's important to speak with honesty about cannabis, and how it can be a positive move to reduce one's cannabis intake anyway. Next up, the trio fire up the iolite and pack it full of some tasty Blue Cheese while talking about the origins of UK Cheese and the UK breeding scene, and whether the true original UK Cheese is still available anywhere. Following a hardcore musical interlude, the three Dopetribe representatives relocate to the very windy water's edge for a chat about this year's UK festival season, with Esse B giving his views of the recent GocStock festival, and Max Freakout and the Dopefiend looking ahead to the ever-approaching Big Chill, which is shaping up to be an absolute monster, featuring many mind-bending substances and thousands of zombies. Finally, the Dopefiend, Esse B and Max Freakout talk about a couple of this month's Cannabis News stories, starting with the mainstream press's insistence that a 17 year-old chef died due to being "ravaged" by cannabis use, and the positive news that more than half of all those fined since the introduction of tougher cannabis laws in the UK have refused to pay up.
