On the last episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast before Christmas, the Dopefiend talks about why female stoners might be the key to securing legalization, KBud emails to tell of his first experience with weed, the Dopefiend talks about conspiracy theories, and Mike emails about his forthcoming stoner documentary. Next, the Dopefiend heads into the VaporLounge to fire up his iolite portable vaporizer with some fresh and tasty Jack Herer, to chat about the finery of the strain and the vaporizer, and to draw this week's winning entry in our competition to win a brand new iolite vaporizer. Then, after telling the Dopetribe how they can take their last chance to win their very own iolite vaporizer, we hear some homegrown music from Dopetriber Mockmoon. Back to the emails, and the Dopefiend talks about how to be a social stoner when you're a stoner lightweight, the controversial subject of cannabis tea, and we hear from grower and medical user JealousGreen about how he gets the most from his herb. In this week's Cannabis News, a new study backs up Cannabis's application as a remedy for MS spasticity, a Canadian buyer's club gets busted for turning legal weed into illegal cookies, the Canadian Senate alter anti-grower bill C-15 to target big-time gangs instead of homegrowers, A grower given a government crisis loan after his release from jail, uses it to set up another grow op, and a prisoner convinces the guards his ganja is a tomato plant!

In this very first episode of Visionary Artists Podcast, we explore some of the main aspects of visionary art before introducing our first guest, the author and scientist David Jay Brown.

We then return to the VAP Grotto to hear a reading of Robert Frost's poem 'Mending Wall' before being played out by next episode's guest, the brilliant down-tempo psytrance producer Capsula.

In this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about how the scientific community is still responding to the sacking of Professor David Nutt from the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, whether cannabis can really cure alcoholism, and whether there is anything to fear in the findings of a new study on cannabis use and psychosis, and why confusion about what "skunk" is fuels further misinformation. Turning to this week's email, the Dopefiend talks about driving stoned and the VaporGenie vaporizer, before heading into the VaporLounge to talk about how a vaporizer is the gift that keeps on giving for any stoner this Christmas, then he fires up his own Volcano so he can taste an incredible Northern Lights/New York City Diesel cross before reporting this year's Cannabis Cup winners. Next, Dopegirl draws the winner of this week's competition to win an iolite portable vaporizer, and the Dopefiend gives the DopeTribe another two chances to win their own iolite too, with a reminder to get your entries in for this year's DopeTribe Dispatches before a rocking musical interlude sent in by ArcticVapors. After SGawain235 gives some in-depth directions for taking Salvia Divinorum sublingually as an alternative to smoking it, the Dopefiend turns to the Cannabis News, with an update on the row surrounding the recovery of Jack Herer, the Scottish plan to punish cannabis use with on-the-spot fines, Amsterdam clamps down on cannabis growing gangs, the last of the operators of Lancing's cannabis cafe are found guilty of conspiracy to supply, a new Detroit school offers courses in all aspects of cannabis, Alanis Morissette uses cannabis to get her creative juices flowing, and Marilyn Monroe's Mary Jane movie!

On the two-hundred-and-first episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about the ongoing struggle between the American medical marijuana movement and the federal drug laws, and how the latest hurdle, that of the legality of selling medical cannabis, has been tackled in Los Angeles, and how they're now facing a cap on the number of dispensaries in LA. Following a call to the DopeTribe for submissions for this year's DopeTribe Dispatches, the Dopefiend turns to the emails which kick off with positive vibes following our incredible 200th episode from DopeTribers vince noir rocknroll star, who celebrates our thriving community; James, who sees the Dopecast as his "smoking buddy"; Psychedelic Podfather Lorenzo, who draws attention to the success of the whole network and an archive of over 500 shows; and Clark, who's used information from the Dopefiend network and the support of the DopeTribe at the forum to set up his own grow, as well as to make the switch to vaporizing. Next up, Caroline raises the question of the safety of using cannabis during pregnancy, and whether vaping eliminates the risk, leading the Dopefiend to take a comprehensive look at the research on cannabis use in pregnancy. Heading into the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend takes a look at the VapBong vaporizer, one of the low-cost lighter-powered vaporizer options available to cash-strapped Vapefiends which was sent to the Dopefiend thanks to DopeTriber lee roy 2.0, then, having tasted some Master Kush in the VapBong, the Dopefiend advertises a 420-friendly room in Texas and goes on to draw the winning entry in last week's incredible competition to win a brand-new iolite portable vaporizer and also tells the DopeTribe how they can be a Dopecast winner too! After a musical interlude from Stoney McStonerson, the Dopefiend talks about how medical cannabis legalization is even creeping into traditionally prohibitionist strongholds like Iowa, mentions a new study into cannabis use, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and in the Cannabis News this week: the parents of an autistic 10 year-old report success with medical cannabis, Professor David Nutt recommends a Royal Commission into legalizing cannabis, while another academic warns of the dangers of cannabis-induced psychosis, the former US Attorney who indicted Marc Emery changes his tune, just as Marc himself is released on bail, Oregon's new cannabis cafe causes media confusion, and the L.A. grow factory busted just 25 feet from the nearest police station.
