Mangled Meditations, your monthly dose of oddness, is back for episode 2.
As I mentioned last month, Musical Palsey is a 16 year old entity that I recently revived. Once I got started on it, I found I had opened up a time warp and began communicating with my past on a large scale. I reconnected with musicians I had worked with, friends I had lost contact with, and cassettes full of sounds I had completely forgotten about. I found myself spiraling into a smoldering abyss of nostalgia. On this second show you will hear samples from music and television shows that molded me, moments from my past (like my mother yelling at me to get moving and me being a little bitch back to her), and several surprises like an 'exorcism' I recorded long ago on some AM station. All of this has been sculpted into an forty-minute long journey into the world of the weird. This is elevator music for the psychotic.

Take a hit of something, or several and ponder what the hell is going on as you hear Musical Palsey's second 40 minute episode of Mangled Meditations.

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

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about the planned Dutch coffeeshop strike, and whether it will succeed in its aim of encouraging Dutch cannabis conumers to get out and vote to save their way of life, leading to a mention for the forthcoming Dopestock celebrations this April in Amsterdam, and the quandary facing stoner voters in the United Kingdom this May. Turning to the emails, the Dopefiend returns to the subject of whether taking breaks form regular cannabis use is a good idea, and whether daily cannabis use is often a means of mitigating repressed psychological distress, including some interesting input regarding one's "cannabis retention index", and cannabis as a treatment for hyperactivity. Following a story about some primo bud lost down a dog's throat, and a brief poetic contribution from Podders, the Dopefiend fires up his iolite for the first time in four weeks and talks about his ritual of cannabis use, and how cutting back on herb has increased his enjoyment of it, how plans for Dopestock are coming together, and a drop in the price of the iolite vaporizer . After a reggae-tastic musical interlude, the Dopefiend returns to the emails and talk of whether the joys of Amsterdam ever get boring, why legalization could save Washington over $100 million a year, and Hippy Man tells of another perfect day in the Netherlands. After another report from Christine and a brand new Vaporizer Revolutionary at the Portland, Oregon NORML Cannabis Cafe, the Dopefiend turns to the Cannabis News, and word of an impending ban on the press's demonic party drug of the moment, Mephedrone, Craig X Rubin faces jail time following a trumped-up probation violation, along with a dispensary owner accused of selling pot for profit, Czech stoners celebrate their new laws on cannabis possession, Howard Marks lends his support to the forthcoming Mr Nice movie, and Popeye's customers get an unwanted free gift with their fries!

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

On this week's epsiode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about the upcoming vote on cannabis legalization in California, and how best to guard against anti-cannabis propaganda in the media storm leading up to the vote. Hitting the emails, the Dopefiend talks about the downsides to the vaporizer revolution, door-to-door bud in the Big Apple, there's more on the discussion of using cannabis to escape from our problems, and whether it's healthy, including the first negative email on this subject, and also talk of the beauty of the iolite portable vaporizer. Heading into the VaporLounge for one of his twice-weekly celebrations of the beauties of cannabis, the Dopefiend talks about the meaning and origins of his "stay stoned" sign-off, the recently announced line-up for this year's Big Chill, and the accents and dialects of Britain (!), while tasting a bit of Aunt Bessie's G13 croseed with Sweet Haze and listening to a homegrown musical interlude from Jealous Green. Back from the VaporLounge, considerably lifted, the Dopefiend talks about the mysterious glass beads for the iolite, we hear from Daredevil who asks which vaporizer is best suited to a blind cannabis cunsumer, and Christine concludes her series from the Oregon NORML Cannabis Café, talking to head honscho Madeline Martinez about volunteering and medicine. In this week's Cannabis News, the owner of Dutch coffeeshop Checkpoint gets a 10 million euro fine, Barry Cooper loses custody of his stepson in the latest KopBusters row, and a husband-and-wife baking team get busted for touting their cannabutter cookies at Colorado Springs convenience stores.

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 how the legal status of Mephedrone in the UK has reignited the post-David Nutt row at the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, resulting in yet more resignations and trash talking between scientists and politicians. Moving onto the emails, the Dopefiend discusses the merits of taking a tolerance break or cutting down on your ganja intake, and whether the "false" happiness brought on by weed outweighs the "real" unhappiness brought on by abstention from weed. Heading into the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend talks about the forthcoming cannabis marches taking place around the world while tasting some KC Haze Special. Following a dub-jamming musical interlude, the Dopefiend talks about growing at your parents house (with their permission), the sad reality of drug testing by employers, whether vaporizers really are the future for stoners, mushroom tea, and whether vaping around kids is acceptable or not, while Shockrocket gives his thoughts on last year's incredible Dopestock. In the Cannabis News: three quarters of Americans support medical marijuana legalization, Philadelphia lessens penalties for stoners, California struggles to determine what is a reasonable amount of cannabis, the 94 year-old arrested for smuggling ten and a half pounds of bud into the states, and Sting speaks out for legalization.

I have been feeling a bit of stress around the back of my neck lately. Things seem to be going okay around me but something seems to be missing. Could it perhaps be a fresh QueerNinja playlist? Yes. Being that we could all use some chilling out now and then, I thought I might share a mellow QN style mix for you all. Hopefully the title doesn't come off as too pretentious. Enjoy.

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

On the first of a series of live Dopecasts from the Capital City of Cannabis, the Web's Favourite Cannabis Commentator, the Dopefiend boards the Cannabis Canal Cruise in the afternoon sunshine for many vapes and tokes in honour of those DopeTribers who couldn't make it out to Amsterdam thanks to the Icelandic Volcano. First off, the Dopefiend chats to G13 who tackled the Volcano by driving under the channel to be at Dopestock about his favourite strains, with special mentions for Headband and Dr Grinspoon, and coffeeshop favourites Abraxas and The Green Place, before talking to Jay K and Flick about how they managed to get over to Amsterdam so they wouldn't miss all the fun, prompting a flashback to the Dopefiend, G13 and Son of Gonzo's Blegian Bifta and Burger Break, before returning to the Canal Cruise and talk of this year's Dopestock Cup, whether the Amsterdam standard is improving, and the variety of hash on offer in Amsterdam. Next, the Dopefiend turns to Son of Gonzo who's in Amsterdam thanks to the generosity of the Dopetribe, who donated cash in order that he could make it out to Amsterdam and smoke weed, the pair talk about music and how to get high on a budget in the 'dam, before the Dopefiend turns his attention to Dopestock virgins TeenagePie and Mrs Mole, who talk about the pleasure of overland travel, their experience of Amsterdam and how it's changed, how the weed in Holland compares to the herb back home, and how they've left smoking behind thanks to embracing vaporizers, and how they've made their own tinctures out of vapo-poop. Next up, the Dopefiend turns to former DopeTribe Dispatcher Mrs Anne, who talks about the research she's doing into cannabis users and their culture, before chatting to ScoobySnakks about how he tackled the volcanic ash, and which tasty strains he's been toking in Amsterdam, and then turning to Max Freakout for a few words before a live performance by DopeStock slave Son of Gonzo. After Gonzo's musical interlude, the Dopefiend returns to psychedelic correspondent Max Freakout who is conversing with Dopestock veteran Dr. Dank about whether the presence of a shaman for an ayahuasca ceremony has any noticeable effect on the quality of the experience, and whether shamanism can ever gel with modern western culture, then brings SmokeJaguar into the conversation, who studies shamanic cultures from an anthropological perspective, and who, along with Dyadar, gives his views on the apparent creeping liberalism regarding cannabis use. Next, the Dopefiend moves on down for a quick chat with SaintVitus, then Drew of the TokingTravellers who both talk about their favourite strains of this year's Dopestock, and then talks to Lord of Change and Mog Mog who have travelled to Amsterdam from Sweden, before rounding off the show with a quick chat from Middle Eastern DopeTribe representative High007. Don't miss all the action from the Dopestock Daytime Session next week!

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

Before all the festivities for this year's Dopestock in Amsterdam get underway, the Dopefiend introduces a political rallying call to the DopeTribe in the United Kingdom in a bid to increase the chances of sensible drug policy in Britain following this week's General Election. Then, the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast relocates to the Cannabis College in the heart of the Capital City of Cannabis for our fourth gathering of stoners from around the world so that they can taste, test and trade their favourite high-quality ganja strains under the blanket of the very tolerance and liberal attitudes that we wish were prevalent in the UK! First off, the Dopefiend talks to proprietor of seed-producer Delta-9 Labs about his own legal struggles and the success of his connoisseur varieties and extracts, while G13 tokes on some of his fine strong bubblehash before moving with SaintVitus and Dopefiend onto the Verdamper where some Strawberry Kush is producing some extremely strong vapour. Next, the Dopefiend chats to New Yorkers SaintVitus, Mike and Noah about their enjoyment of Dopestock, their favourite strains before heading over to talk with official "dopebitch" Son of Gonzo, who's embracing Dopestock enthusiastically as always. Next, the Dopefiend turns to Swedish stoners MogMog and Lord of Change who are happy to be connecting with the DopeTribe in such celebratory surroundings, despite their travel plans being disrupted by the Icelandic Volcano, then he talks to official Dopefiend right-hand man ScoobySnakks about the previous day's Boat Trip, the antisocial behaviour of "gremlin of ganja" G13, who then pipes up with big claims about his stamina in the face of several strong indicas. Following a musical interlude from Son of Gonzo, Herodian and Mrs Herodian arrive at Dopestock after a marathon drive from the UK and talk with the Dopefiend about the incredible variety of herbal goodies that have been going round at this year's Dopestock, and which ones might be favourite for this year's hotly contested Dopestock Cup, while TeenagePie and G13 pass round a bag of Headband vapour. Next, Jay K updates the Dopefiend on how the voting is going in this year's Dopestock Cup, and brings G13 and TeenagePie, Teddy, Noah and SaintVitus in for a conversation about the situation regarding decriminalization in the United Statesm, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, and whether there's been any movement over the past year, before moving over to Sam508 for a chat about how he managed to make it to Dopestock in a last minute dash, and also getting the thoughts of Flick, ScoobySnakks, MogMog and Lord Of Change. Finally, the Dopefiend racks up a pair of 3-metre Volcano Bags in celebration of the late great Jack Herer who sadly didn't make this year's 4/20, but joins the DopeTribe in spirit, then rounds of the daytime session by having a quick chat with Dr. Dank, Herodian, Infinity25 and MrsInfinity25, Rockdude, Stefan, Noah, Mrs Herodian, Max Freakout, G13 and ScoobySnakks.

On the last Dopecast live from this year's Dopestock festivities in Amsterdam, the Dopefiend comes live from the basement of the Dolphins Coffeeshop in the heart of the Capital City of Cannabis, joined by a horde of DopeTribers from around the world. Following a brief chat with an extremely stoned Son of Gonzo, the Web's Favourite Cannabis Commentator kicks off this year's Joint Rolling Competition by talking to this year's judges Jay K and G13 about what they're looking for in this year's winning joint, before scrutinizing and testing the entries from New Yorkers Drew, Noah and HippyMan, british entries from Sam508 and Mrs Mole, and a wildcard Middle-Eastern entry from High007.

Moving right along to this year's Dopestock Cup, the Dopefiend talks to the Infinity25s, Sam508, Lord of Change, Mrs Mole, High007, ScoobySnakks and HippyMan about which of the two finalist strains take their fancy, before having a quick chat with Herodian about how Dopestock irritant G13 is influencing his enjoyment of the Evening Session, and Dr. Dank tells about his level of cannabis use and tolerance. Next up, the Dopefiend gets the views of MogMog, Herodian, Mrs. Herodian, Dr. Dank, Flick and Jay on the Dopestock Cup finalists, and Herodian gives his support to this year's joint-rolling winner.

Before kicking off the highly-anticipated Drug Deal or No Drug Deal, Dopestock veteran Rockdude tells the story of how his recent visit to London was blighted by drug sniffer dogs, prompting a group discussion including Dr Dank, TeenagePie, Mrs Mole, ScoobySnakks, Sam508, High007. Finally, to round off another incredible Dopestock Evening Session, a host of randomly selected DopeTribers participate in an incredibly close game of Drug Deal or No Drug Deal, concluding in the awarding of some incredible prizes including a carved soapstone mushroom pipe, a KannaStor clear-top grinder, some premium Sensi Seeds, and and incredible limited edition celtic-pattern iolite, as well as some fresh Headband, AK47 and Jack Herer.
