On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend covers the news of three more resignations from Britain's Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs following the sacking of Professor David Nutt as its chair for telling the truth about the level of harm caused to society by drug use, and how the government is failing dismally in its attempts to smother the story. Turning to the emails, the Dopefiend talks about whether non-stoners can recognize the smell of cannabis vapour, whether eating hash oil raw yields results, and whether the same is true for the oily residue left on a vaporizer, how legalizing cannabis could mean the end of powerful drug cartels, what causes red-eye and how to avoid it, or at least excuse it, whether mouse-infested ganja is safe to cook with, the intensity and perilousness of the Salvia Divinorum experience, and answers some vaporizer questions. Heading into the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend talks about last week's Audience with David Nutt event while sampling some Lemon Skunk vapour and listening to music from Kill Me Now Kiss Me Later, before returning to the emails and talk of baking with vapo-poop, the Vapor Bros vaporizer, whether medical cannabis should be a non-profit industry, which strain looks best while growing, and whether the Dopefiend finds it hard to bring out a new Dopecast every week. In this week's Cannabis News, this year's report from the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction warns of the thriving online drug market and also notes the declining popularity of cannabis in the Netherlands, where it's legally available, the American Medical Association votes in support of legal medical marijuana, Jack Herer continues to recover, while a feud between his friends and family gathers pace, and San Fransisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum gets busted only 2 milligrams into a fresh bag of bud.

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend looks at the fallout from last week's sacking of British government drugs adviser Professor David Nutt, the politicians scientists and other public figures who have lent their support to Nutt, and those that haven't, and the wide-ranging implications of what has become a major issue among the scientific community. Turning to the emails, the Dopefiend talks about the fight for interference-free medical marijuana in California, the cancer-curing properties of hemp oil, why most coffeeshop customers in the Netherlands are male, and the joys of what Dopetriber Chris calls "toke and explore, discussion of which prompts the Dopefiend to ponder why he hasn’t had a chance to indulge in it recently, as he heads into the VaporlOunge to talk about David Sedaris, Jon Ronson and This American Life, and to taste a bit of 007 while listening to some homegrown music from Dopetriber Johno Leader. Back to the emails, and the Dopefiend looks at the similarities between near-death experiences and drug experiences, Dr. Barton reviews medical textbook "Cannabis Therapeutics in HIV/AIDS", leading the Dopefiend to recommend "Dying To Get High", Gaijin Abysm asks about the possibilities of Salvia Divinorum vaporization, and Oby San expresses despair at the painful pace of progress in the fight for legalization, and how to remain informed without becoming obsessed or depressed by the constant flow of bad news. In the Cannabis News, the Netherlands' biggest ever coffeeshop goes on trial in a test case which could change the legal status of cannabis in Holland for good, British cannabis seizures double in a year, Toronto growers eschew hydroponics for outdoor guerrilla grow-ops, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition fight for the right to discuss cannabis legalization in the face of a new censorship amendment, and "we were high during Easy Rider": Peter Fonda fesses up!

"But, for all that, they had a very pleasant walk. The trees were bare of leaves, and the river was bare of water-lilies; but the sky was not bare of its beautiful blue, and the water reflected it, and a delicious wind ran with the stream, touching the surface crisply" - Charles Dickins

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend responds to the extraordinary events of the past week, in which the British Government's chief scientific advisor was fired for suggesting that drug law in the UK doesn't reflect the level of harm caused to society by drug use. Turning to this week's emails, the Dopefiend talks about the most efficient ways to use your vaporizer, casts his expert eyes over a couple of newcomers on the vaporizer market, the safety of plastic bongs, the recent pro-pot protests in New Hampshire and their senate's rejection of a medical marijuana law. Heading into the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend takes a second look at the super-portable, super-fast Magic Flight Launch Box vaporizer, weighing up its advantages and disadvantages, comparing it with the iolite, and using it to take a speedy hit of Sage N Sour, before returning to the subject of internet security when visiting weed-related websites, and taking a musical break provided by listener J. Returning to the emails, the Dopefiend talks Amsterdam and vapo-poop bakery, before this week's Cannabis News, including an overview of the medical marijuana scene in Alasks, and why the recent Justice Department advice on compassion clubs won't affect them much, stoner snowboarder Ross Rebagliati makes the move into politics, the California Committee on Public Safety looks into decriminalization, and 2 and a half tablespoons of bongwater could land you in jail for over seven years!
