On this extra-special Eightieth Epsiode Extravaganza, The Dopefiend is joined in the VaporLounge by podcasting legend, Cannabis journo and Hemp activist Uncle Weed for an hour-long exhaustive interview and vaping session covering subjects as diverse as where the world's best weed comes from, the current Cannabis scene in Canada, how Vancouver has changed in relation to the Cannabis scene in Toronto, the spread of Compassion Clubs in the US and whether medical marijuana will ever be fully legal, Hemp and Cannabis use in Japan and the North American hemp revolution Uncle Weed discovered while making his documentary The Hempen Road, and how the hemp industry has changed since the film's release, and lots more, including some extremely tasty bags of Hawaiian, Brainstorm and New York City Diesel. No emails or news this week, but normal service will resume soon, so keep them coming- mail@dopefiend.co.uk, Skype us, leave comments, and check out the Chatroom and Forum.
