Dopecast95: LIVE from Vancouver and Seattle!

On this week's extra special episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend hits the Pacific North-West to sample the herbal delights, sights and sounds of Vancouver, British Columbia and Seattle, Washington. First the Dopefiend is joined by Canadian hemp activist, journalist and prolific podcaster Uncle Weed at downtown Vansterdam's famous New Amsterdam Cafe for a few tasty joints of sweet BC bud and a chat about Cannabis law in Canada and how the scene in Vancouver has evolved over the years, we get a mainland Europe view of the scene from Swiss stoner Squall, who fills us in on the quality of weed in Switzerland these days, then the Dopefiend and Uncle Weed head down to Stanley Park and smoke some more in the shadow of the Lion's Gate bridge. Then the Web's favourite Cannabis Commentator smuggles himself across the border into the home of Hempfest, the glittering metropolis of Seattle, where listener and Dopestock veteran Cannaya compares the US and Canadian approaches to Cannabis, the state laws in Washington governing Medical Marijuana, then smoke a well-earned joint on the shoulder of an enormous troll!
