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 the emails, the Dopefiend talks about the phenomenon of "contact highs", whether Cannabis use can aid "astral projection", whether underage vaping is as dangerous as underage smoking, how Cannabis can have an anti-depressant effect and why it's important to watch out for mouldy marijuana. Heading into the VaporLounge for a taste of some John Sinclair to evoke memories of Amsterdam, the Dopefiend goes into detail about the plans for next week's fun in Amsterdam, before taking a musical interlude courtesy of DopeTribe elder Esse B. Back from the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend introduces an extra special section in which
Druidude kicks of this week's Cannabis News with a follow-up to last week's story of the teacher taking his cannabis case to the British High Court, as he talks in-depth to the man who pioneered this defence, Eddie Stratton, about Cannabis law and how to challenge it in the UK. In the rest of the Cannabis News this week, some Australian anti-Cannabis propaganda makes claims about a new syndrome affecting heavy users, further details emerge about THC's cancer-fighting properties, UC Santa Cruz tries to clamp down on  their 4/20 celebrations, customs officers discover 90 pounds of bud hidden inside picture frames, and the Harry Potter actor who was busted for operating a "£2000 Cannabis Farm" in his mum's house.
