On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about how the DEA have finally responded to the 9 year-old petition to reschedule marijuana on account of its medicinal value, and how their blinkered and stubborn response could actually lead to a brighter future for the medical marijuana movement, as it allows cannabis activists to appeal. In this week's emails, the Dopefiend discusses whether it's unethical to seek a medical marijuana card if you feel you have no medical reason to use cannabis, talks about the benefits of the beautifully crafted Magic Flight Launch Box for cash-strapped vape heads, and reads an incredible 4-HO-MET trip report from Swedish DopeTriber Bagler, who used the Shulgin chemical to enhance his experience of seeing Roger Waters perform The Wall in Berlin. Heading into the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend is drawn to his own Magic Flight Launch Box and some expertly grown G-Bomb while talking about the plans for his approaching US tour. Following a musical interlude from Dr. Trevorkian, the Dopefiend returns to the subject of whether petitions actually achieve anything in the fight to legalize cannabis, and then reads an incredible story from Dex about how his once anti-drug stance shifted to one which embraces cannabis and its surrounding culture. In this week's Cannabis News: Canadian Prince of Pot Marc Emery contracts MRSA in US prison, Philadelphia saves $2 million by introducing "backdoor decriminalization", Connecticut police prepare for decriminalization of cannabis, and the ailing press gets a helping hand from marijuana's advertising dollars.
