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

In the first DopeTribe Dispatches of 2011, we hear first from Smoking Firebreather, who reports from Newfoundland on his hatred of the word "joint", how he broke Yesterday's Hero's iolite mouthpiece, male feminism, and rational thought. Next, Look 1 strolls through the night while philosophising about the nature of the drug experience, switching between consensus reality and altered realities, life, energy and "going all the way", before DopeTribe vaporizer expert Hudsonrulez takes the tribe through some hints and tips for cleaning you iolite vaporizer. In their last outing this season, Samwise & Dicky Doo return with a dispatch recorded in samwise's shed in Perth, Western Australia, where they talk about the role of the man in relationships, being fulfilled in life, facing Saturn's return, and the facebook age. Finally, Herodian and Gremlin of Ganja G13 combine forces for inane gibbering and nonsensical ramblings on subjects such as using the large hadron collider to collide thc molecules, what makes a great whitey, how much weed is smoked in the UK each week, time travel, cat rape, and how G13 introduced his 62 year old mum to the sacred weed.

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

On the final episode of this season's incredible new DopeTribe Dispaytches, we begin with Yesterday's Hero, who drops his alter ego and joins Christian Davis for a smoking session and talk of "really stinky" OG Kush, broken iolite stems, gandalf pipes, smoking pot with your parents, and studying while high. Next, Cannabookah talks about methods for pursuing cannabis legalisation through corporations, commerce and market forces, and Lordkalkin talks about his interests in philosophy, the occult, Robert Anton Wilson, his experience of the "trip space" entered when using magic mushrooms, and his method for making mushroom tea. In a deeply moving dispatch, ioliteknight talks about his childhood in England, his move to Australia, his introduction to drugs and alcohol, and how he faced ultimate darkness and came through it all to encounter shamanism, herbalism and the DopeTribe. Finally, The 2-zillion-Year-Old Hippie and Synthia present a special DopeTribe Dispatch in which the hippie graces our eardrums with some of his own ukelele music and welcomes the DopeTribe into his own VaporLounge!

This week on the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast the Dopefiend is down at the Dopecave on the banks of the River Thames in the heart of London, where he and DopeTribe elder Esse B discuss how they spent their Christmas and New Year, are interrupted by a Dope Dog, then talk about the extraordinary Original UK Cheese grown by a friend of Esse's, how to make contacts in the cannabis community to enhance your stash.

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend looks at President Obama's recent response to yet another question on US drug policy at his latest online question and answer session, why the powers that be seem so unwilling to take the question of legalization seriously, why pushing cannabis users into rehab is just the old bait 'n' switch, and why ganja growing guru Ed Rosenthal isn't impressed either.

Heading into the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend talks about the new Oracle Vaporizer, fires up the Volcano with some Amnesia Haze while discussing the phenomenon of weed-related temporary amnesia, and looks forward to the ever-approaching Dopestock festival in Amsterdam.
