On this year's last episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis
Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about how the UK government have
responded to the recent call by the Global Commission on Drug
Policy that governments review their current drug strategy by
launching a Home Affairs Select Committee inquiry onto the UK drug
policy, and examines whether these types of inquiry have ever
yielded real results in terms of policy changes, and why this
impending inquiry might be different. Next, the Dopefiend reads a
response from T-Dub to the recent recommendation from a listener
that DopeTribers investigate the possibilities of furthering their
education for free with a Chinese government scholarship, and also
discusses the phenomenon of drug terminology leaving its
counterculture origins behind and becoming mainstream. Heading into
the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend mentions a thread recently started
by Febo at thegrowreport.com about whether finely ground ganja
could be used as a form of cannabis snuff, and talks about why this
might not be the best method for ingesting our secret sacrament,
but how many DopeTribers have discovered the pleasures of eating
vapo-poop, which is made orally active due to having been heated to
over 180 degrees celcius. Moving on to fire up his Cloud vaporizer
and hit some fruity Purple Kush, the Dopefiend talks about how Febo
has found that vaporizing can result in over-production of mucus,
the Dopefiend describes how his trialling of the new Cloud
vaporizer has somewhat remedied this problem, as the vapour is
cooled by ice and moisture-conditioned before inhalation, and is
therefore less of an irritant. Following a musical interlude, the
Dopefiend returns to the recent spat involving GW Pharmaceuticals,
the manufacturer of cannabis-based medication Sativex, and Peter
Reynolds, the new leader of cannabis law reform campaign
organisation CLEAR, and talks about why the angry letter-writing
and complaining of Peter Reynolds might not be the best way to go
about advancing the legalisation cause in the United Kingdom, and
how it seems to beturning more people off than on. In this week's
Cannabis News: Canadian cannabis campaigner Istvan Marton dies on
hunger strike, Nevada's decade-old medical marijuana law risks

"rogue ecstasy", a Minnesota boy turns in his parents for smoking
