On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend covers the news of three more resignations from Britain's Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs following the sacking of Professor David Nutt as its chair for telling the truth about the level of harm caused to society by drug use, and how the government is failing dismally in its attempts to smother the story. Turning to the emails, the Dopefiend talks about whether non-stoners can recognize the smell of cannabis vapour, whether eating hash oil raw yields results, and whether the same is true for the oily residue left on a vaporizer, how legalizing cannabis could mean the end of powerful drug cartels, what causes red-eye and how to avoid it, or at least excuse it, whether mouse-infested ganja is safe to cook with, the intensity and perilousness of the Salvia Divinorum experience, and answers some vaporizer questions. Heading into the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend talks about last week's Audience with David Nutt event while sampling some Lemon Skunk vapour and listening to music from Kill Me Now Kiss Me Later, before returning to the emails and talk of baking with vapo-poop, the Vapor Bros vaporizer, whether medical cannabis should be a non-profit industry, which strain looks best while growing, and whether the Dopefiend finds it hard to bring out a new Dopecast every week. In this week's Cannabis News, this year's report from the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction warns of the thriving online drug market and also notes the declining popularity of cannabis in the Netherlands, where it's legally available, the American Medical Association votes in support of legal medical marijuana, Jack Herer continues to recover, while a feud between his friends and family gathers pace, and San Fransisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum gets busted only 2 milligrams into a fresh bag of bud. Email mail@dopefiend.co.uk, send us a voicemail and drop by our Skype Virtual VaporLounge, and check out the forum.

mail@dopefiend.co.uk — Mon, 9 Nov 2009 11:00:00 GMT

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend looks at the fallout from last week's sacking of British government drugs adviser Professor David Nutt, the politicians scientists and other public figures who have lent their support to Nutt, and those that haven't, and the wide-ranging implications of what has become a major issue among the scientific community. Turning to the emails, the Dopefiend talks about the fight for interference-free medical marijuana in California, the cancer-curing properties of hemp oil, why most coffeeshop customers in the Netherlands are male, and the joys of what Dopetriber Chris calls "toke and explore, discussion of which prompts the Dopefiend to ponder why he hasnât had a chance to indulge in it recently, as he heads into the VaporlOunge to talk about David Sedaris, Jon Ronson and This American Life, and to taste a bit of 007 while listening to some homegrown music from Dopetriber Johno Leader. Back to the emails, and the Dopefiend looks at the similarities between near-death experiences and drug experiences, Dr. Barton reviews medical textbook "Cannabis Therapeutics in HIV/AIDS", leading the Dopefiend to recommend "Dying To Get High", Gaijin Abysm asks about the possibilities of Salvia Divinorum vaporization, and Oby San expresses despair at the painful pace of progress in the fight for legalization, and how to remain informed without becoming obsessed or depressed by the constant flow of bad news. In the Cannabis News, the Netherlands' biggest ever coffeeshop goes on trial in a test case which could change the legal status of cannabis in Holland for good, British cannabis seizures double in a year, Toronto growers eschew hydroponics for outdoor guerrilla grow-ops, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition fight for the right to discuss cannabis legalization in the face of a new censorship amendment, and "we were high during Easy Rider": Peter Fonda fesses up!

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend responds to the extraordinary events of the past week, in which the British Government's chief scientific advisor was fired for suggesting that drug law in the UK doesn't reflect the level of harm caused to society by drug use. Turning to this week's emails, the Dopefiend talks about the most efficient ways to use your vaporizer, casts his expert eyes over a couple of newcomers on the vaporizer market, the safety of plastic bongs, the recent pro-pot protests in New Hampshire and their senate's rejection of a medical marijuana law. Heading into the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend takes a second look at the super-portable, super-fast Magic Flight Launch Box vaporizer, weighing up its advantages and disadvantages, comparing it with the iolite, and using it to take a speedy hit of Sage N Sour, before returning to the subject of internet security when visiting weed-related websites, and taking a musical break provided by listener J. Returning to the emails, the Dopefiend talks Amsterdam and vapo-poop bakery, before this week's Cannabis News, including an overview of the medical marijuana scene in Alasks, and why the recent Justice Department advice on compassion clubs won't affect them much, stoner snowboarder Ross Rebagliati makes the move into politics, the California Committee on Public Safety looks into decriminalization, and 2 and a half tablespoons of bongwater could land you in jail for over seven years!

Psychonautica079

maxfreakout@dopefiend.co.uk — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 18:55:00 GMT

In this fortnight's installment of Psychonautica, Max Freakout first talks about the recent health scare over a toxic batch of 2cb, and talks about the natural/synthetic distinction. Next Max plays the 6th part of the Stanislav Grof seminar 'psychospiritual death and rebirth: a visionary journey'. Grof talks about the swamps of the unconscious mind, the moment of birth and the child-king archetype, the mythic theme of being swallowed and then spat out, Joseph Campbell's formulation of the hero's journey and the universality of this story in world mythology, the feeling of being dead, losing inhibitions at yearly festivals like Mardi Gras, Campbell's take on Dante's Divine Comedy as a timeless map of the death/rebirth experience, walking on fire, the onset of nuclear war, the genie in the lamp, the bombing of Hiroshima, Grof's own ego death experience at the hands of Shiva, classic shamanic themes such as being torn apart during ego death, merging with the divine light, peacock feathers as reminiscent of psychedelic visions, giving birth to a new self, birth by caesarian section, creationism, evolutionism and the debate over intelligent design and the biblical account of the history of the universe. Afterwards Max reads out an email from Pandora about ego death and coming to terms with the psychedelic experience. Email maxfreakout@dopefiend.co.uk and hang out with the friendly psychonauts at www.thegrowreport.com.

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about the United Stated Department of Justice advice to federal agencies not to arrest or pursue those who follow state law when using or providing medical marijuana and why it's still up to the feds to decide how they want to implement the law. Turning to the emails, the Dopefiend talks about DopeStock 2010, when to come to Amsterdam and where to stay, theres some debate over whether bongs are really more harmful than joints or pipes as methods of smoking cannabis, and spacehamsta challenges the validity of a study into whether stoned mice can swim to a floating platform. Heading into the VaporLounge to sample some Kahuna, the Dopefiend talks about whether vaporizing reduces red-eye, and reads an email from hey Negrita's Scoobysnakks updating the DopeTribe on the bands movements, and giving us a sneak preview of a new zombie-themed short film starring the band and their music, before they also provide this week's musical interlude. Back to the emails, and the Dopefiend covers subjects such as tips and tricks for using the iolite and Volcano vaporizers, Pojut's tips for how to make your money and your weed last longer, Zophar's easy recibe for vapo-poop brownies, and A story of corporate oppression from Joe. In this week's Cannabis News: the new Australian study that shows one in 25 adults uses cannabis, Marc Emery supporters show their support in an overnight vigil, and two California airports allow passengers to travel with their stash.

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about the creeping bans on ancient hallucinogenic herb Salvia Divinorum and how they're putting cutting edge research into cures for cocaine addiction and Alzheimer's disease at risk, looking into it's meteroic rise as a popular legal high, and whether there is any actual danger associated with its use. Hitting the emails, we hear the story of a near-miss police encounter, a review of the coffeeshop scene in Nijmegen in Holland and some talk of the long-term safety of MDMA or ecstasy, before hitting the iolite and giving a second taste to the G-Bomb recently sampled by the DopeTribe at the DopeCave. After talking further on the subject of internet security and hearing a musical interlude from DopeTriber Ikaro, the Dopefiend returns to the emails, and subjects including the ture nature of the relationship between cannabis use and insomnia and experiences of synesthesia when using cannabis. In this week's Cannabis News: Western Australia introduces some of the toughest cannabis laws down under, police in California are ordered to return 32 ounces of hash to their rightful owners, Scottish postmen are recruited by police to hunt down cannabis factories, a homegrower is busted following a tip-off from her own daughter, New Mexico considers applications from prospective medical marijuana providers to join the USA's only state-licensed grower, Pennsylvania students are warned to look out for poisonous jimson weed-laced cannabis, and Wisconsin edges closer to becoming the fourteenth state to legalize medical marijuana.

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about the recent British report chronicling the rise in popularity of cocaine among the young, how it's eclipsing crack and heroin, and why the global war on drugs has contributed to this situation by keeping cannabis in its sights. Next, the Dopefiend calls for recent donors to claim their free gifts, mentions the coming UK Hemp Expo, and covers such subjects as the Swedish law on cannabis, how to protect your privacy online, the "feminine energy" of cannabis, we hear a Salvia trip report from Mike K, leading to some talk of alternate dimensions in psychedelia. Heading into the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend fires up the Volcano and blasts some Green Spirit while talking about the benefits of joining the vapor revolution, and the incredible stealthiness of the iolite portable vaporizer, before taking a musical break from Dopetriber Chasing For Courtship. Back to the emails, the Dopefiend talks about cannabis psychosis, how to "dial down" the powerful effects of a good vaporizer, the power of the DopeTribe, the ease of subscribing to the Dopecast, adulterated cannabis and whether it's still a big issue for UK stoners and whether the increasing amount of high-THC bud is due to early harvesting. In this week's Cannabis News: the political and legal wrangling putting California's compassion clubs at risk, ASA win cannabis growing collectives the right to sue if law enforcement interferes with their activities, Colorado calls the National Guard and their Black Hawk helicopters in to help crack down on guerilla growers, a UK grower and dealer is spared jail, showing the quiet lenience of the UK justice system regarding cannabis, Jack Herer continues to recover following his Hempstalk collapse, and Bluntman and Chronic creator Kevin Smith credits our secret sacrament with his return to Hollywood.

Pothead's Coffeeshop 18

Pothead@dopefiend.co.uk — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 15:29:00 GMT

Pothead continues the monthly series with your chance to put your own stamp on the Dopefiend.co.uk Podcast Network.

On this monthâs show we start with nexus112, âA now defunct podcast rises from the ashes and flies for one last time under the kind auspices of Potheadâs Coffeeshop. Enjoy listening as the men with many pseudonyms talk. Float 23 (Dr Love) answers Nexus112âs (pdm) questions on shamanism and shamanic practice. In this âremote interviewâ we hear Floatâs recorded answers to 10 questions on the subject while Nexus provides commentary and a modest mix of music. The discussion covers topics such as: getting started with shamanism, dealing with entities, the role of entheogens, how the western mind copes with these ideas, sex, drugs and rock and roll. The show finishes with a beautiful poem from Float titled- Brother Fox.â Then we join Mad Dog for a Halloween Special, Mad Dog helps us get in the mood ready for Halloween with a section of spooky Halloween tracks wahahahaââ..

Nexus112âs questions:
1 What initially interested you in shamanism?

2 What made you take that interest into actual practice?

3 describe how you began using these techniques and what they were. Ie, where you started.

4 did or have you ever encountered malevolent entities, how did you deal with them?

5 What do you see as the role of entheogens in shamanism? Not historical use but in modern practice.

6 assuming this is right, how do the techniques and experiences differ off and on entheogens?

7 where would one start in crossing over from reading and learning about shamanism to actually doing it?

8 what advice would you give a novice?

9 shamanism is about journeying and bringing back information. Can you give us an example of you or someone doing this in the modern world?

10 anything else you'd like to say to the folks at home?

On this week's special episode of the Dopecast live from the DopeCave on the banks of the River Thames in central London, the Dopefiend is joined by entheopundit Max Freakout and DopeTribers Herodian, Esse B, G13 and Acid Tramp for a full-on stoner symposium during which the Dopefiend discusses his recent return to the LSD dimension with Acid Tramp before G13 tells the story of his recent encounter with the police which somewhat elucidates the confusing new "3 strikes" policy in the UK for cannabis posession, leading to a group discussion on the state of cannabis law in Britain and how the government have bamboozled both the police and the public. Next, the Dopefiend turns to Esse B who gives an update on his battle with the rare condition Cannabinoid Hyperemesis, then the Dopefiend reads an email from Dr Barton outlining his theories on the possible causes of the condition. Next, Herodian packs one of the iolites flying around the cave with some LowRyder for a tasting session and a chat about the recent developments in auto-flowering plants and whether they're the answer for lazy growers or those with no space and no expertise, or whether growers are better off tailoring gourmet strains to suit their environment. During a chat about whether the blotter recently experienced on the Dopecast by the Dopefiend and Son of Gonzo, Herodian explains why he has no interest in psychedelics, and G13 and Esse B give their thoughts on LSD. Then, while tasting the G-Bomb strain which was previously dubbed "Kush n Chips" for it's unusual flavour, the DopeTribers are momentarily distracted by an underwear photo shoot in the vicinity of the DopeCave, prompting the Dopefiend to speedily announce a musical interlude from Timdonesia and his band Friends of Dennis Wilson. Back in the DopeCave, the Dopefiend chats with G13 and Herodian about their views of the LowRyder and the G-Bomb, then the DopeTribe discuss last week's initiation of Marc Emery's extradition process and the injustice of Canada bowing to the demands of the USA and selling out their citizen, leading to a discussion of the hypocrisy of America's war on drugs. Finally, the Dopefiend seeks the opinion of the DopeTribe on the news that Festival Republic have bought out the Big Chill and what it will mean for festival goers, before packing up the iolites and heading up to higher ground.

In this week's installment of Psychonautica, Max Freakout plays the fourth part of a day-long seminar by Stanislav Grof, from the world psychedelic forum, entitled 'psychospiritual death and rebirth, a visionary journey'. Grof talks about verifiably authentic experiences of identifying with animals during LSD trips, the importance of accelerating through psychotic experiences instead of administering tranquilisers to suppress them, telepathic experiences in trip sessions, reliving toxic-womb and bad-womb experiences, Jung's connection with nazism and his attempts to debunk christianity, Hitler's 'deranged mysticism' and his use of shamanic imagery behind the nazi campaign, Hitler's ecstatic mystical experience on seeing a holy relic, Hitler's past-life regression experience after taking mescaline, the advantages of delivering a child underwater and the unecessary traumatisation caused by modern delivery methods, the artwork of HR Giger and it's depiction of perinatal matrices, the theme of the devouring female in holotropic states and the connection to snakes and spiders, and vagina dentata and the theme of the vaginal torture chamber. Afterwards, Max reads out an email about the connection between BDSM sessions and psychedelic trips.

mail@dopefiend.co.uk — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 10:00:00 GMT

On the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast this week, the Dopefiend talks about how today sees Marc Emery turning himself in to the authorities to begin his extradition to the United States for selling cannabis seeds after a gruelling four-year struggle. Hitting the emails, the Dopefiend talks about the positive feedback following last week's LSD audio, whether you can find good buds in Myrtle Beach, whether there should be a Dopefiend.co.uk iPod app, the rare phenomenon of Dopecast hate mail, whether psychedelics connect us to our feminine energies, how recreational cannabis users are often also unwitting medical users, and we hear a brief cannabis trip report from Mr Rushh. Next, the Dopefiend heads into the VaporLounge to fire up the Volcano vaporizer and sample the powerful indica stone of some Purple Kush while talking about next year's DopeStock, the forthcoming UK Hemp Expo in London, and next year's release of Mr Nice: The Movie before taking a musical interlude courtesy of Tyson. Before returning to the emails, the Dopefiend mentions a couple of old documentaries about London he's recently rediscovered, then talks about why cannabis and psychedelics are more feared by the authorities than alcohol, cocaine and prescription drugs, the anonymity of the DopeTribe and the Dopefiend himself, the line between reality and gaming, and whether playing games on psychedelics is a valuable experience. In this week's Cannabis News: Denmark considers legalizing cannabis in an effort to reduce gang crime, Florida detectives are caught on camera playing Wii bowling during a drug raid, and the Greek guerrilla grower who tried (and failed) to hide in plain sight!

On the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast this week, the Dopefiend talks about the recently released figures concerning the number of cannabis-related arrests in the United States last year, why last year marked the first drop in arrests since 2003, and how a drop in arrests coincides with an increase in people admitting use of cannabis. Moving on to the emails, the Dopefiend talks about how cannabis use can induce feelings of paranoia and depression in some people, whether there are similar risks associated with psychedelics, and the best course of action for those who feel they may be affected by such problems. Next the Dopefiend heads into the VaporLounge to vape a pinch of Aunt Bessie's Lemon Skunk and talk about his return, last week, to the LSD dimension after a decade-long period of acid abstinence, before introducing audio highlights from the trip itself, which feature the Dopefiend and Son of Gonzo visiting Panorama Park during the peak of the experience, discussing UFOs, the ineffable energy and life of London, consciousness expansion versus corprate materialism, whether riding the grockle of London into the end of the world would be the ideal way to face the eschaton, visions of a shipwreck and a reptile-infested swamp, and a nitrous-oxide fuelled identity crisis. Following an acid-themed musical interlude, the Dopefiend returns to talk briefly about London, the popularity of cocaine in certain London circles and why police worldwide seem less concerned about cocaine use than cannabis use, before DopeTriber LIFT brings us his report from last week's Portland, Oregon HempStalk Festival, in which he brings us all the atmosphere from the event, describes some cutting edge cannabis edibles, and talks to Chris Henry from the Oregon Green Party, NORML executive director Allen St Pierre, John from Oregon Green Free. Finally, in the Cannabis News this week, Jack Herer remains in a critical condition following his heart attack at HempStalk, medical marijuana patients and caregivers lobby Washington officials for the right to grow cannabis for more than one patient, and New Mexico's sole provider of medical marijuana can't keep up with demand from patients.

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about last week's federally-backed raids on San Diego's medical marijuana dispensaries, and how it's just a further disappointment following all the hope of President Obama's campaign promises to end the raids, describes the rock and the hard place between which medical marijuana caregivers and patients currently reside in the US, and also talks about how such ambiguity in the law on cannabis allows sadistic officials to exploit the infirm to abusive degrees. Moving on to the emails, the Dopefiend covers such varied subjects as the benefits of giving up smoking and becoming vape-only, using the iolite vaporizer at the movies, why using a bong is more harmful than smoking joints or pipes, hemp shoes, how the vapor revolution is affecting the stoner youth and how easy it can be to grow your own. Next, the Dopefiend heads into the VaporLounge to taste some White Rhino fresh from the Netherlands, and to talk about the latest series of Weeds, before pausing for a musical interlude from DopeTriber Herodian. Returning to the emails, the Dopefiend discusses re-vaping the sticky residue left on some vaporizers, using cannabis when young, and why the Dopefiend feels it's better to hold off until later life, why there's not much rock on the Dopecast and what to do with vapo-poop. In the Cannabis News: two British cops face charges for trying to fit up a squatter on a cannabis charge, Arizona rules that religious beliefs don't excuse you from laws restricting cannabis use, and another brick of bud washes up on a Florida beach.

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about how the change in US public opinion concerning the so-called dangers of cannabis use, in particular the recent Rasmussen survey showing that Americans now view alcohol as more harmful. Hitting the emails, the Dopefiend talks about the dangers of today's "ecstasy" pills, which often contain MDA or even more unpleasant chemicals rather than good old-fashioned MDMA, the benefits of using coconut oil to clean your smoking or vaporizing equipment, or even yourself, other safe ways to clean your vaporizer, and why isopropyl alcohol is not safe unless any remaining residue is removed, why wooden pipes or acrylic bongs aren't the best choice for smokers, and why smokers often don't feel the full benefits of the vapour experience until they give up smoking, the possibility of a urine-powered iolite, and how too much vape can be a bad thing. Next, the Dopefiend fires up his iolite and tastes some Amnesia Haze while chatting about how he's still enjoying the world's best portable vaporizer, how G13 used his to near-destruction, and how best to avoid the perils of mouldy weed. Then, considerably hazy, he takes a musical interlude courtesy of DopeTriber Pojut, before talking about whether the iolite functions well at low temperatures or in high wind, and whether it's possible to eke the high out of your vapo-poop as you can with a Volcano vaporizer. Evan emails for some first-time shroom tripping advice, then, in the Cannabis News: the new roadside drug test and why it could aid the fight for legalization, new research shows cannabis could treat skin disorders, the RCMP's flying eye stamps out Canada's outdoor grow-ops, 2 British pensioners face charges for importing massive quantities of hash into the UK, the man who got busted for trying to pay his gas station bill with ganja, and Dutch authorities trumpet their latest herb haul... only to find they destroyed the local university's supply of industrial hemp!

On the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast this week, the Dopefiend talks about the wave of decriminalization sweeping Latin America, starting with Mexico's blanket decriminalization of personal amounts of cannabis, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and LSD, with a further emphasis on treatment for addicts and repeat offenders rather than stiff custodial sentences, and Argentina's recent ruling that personal use of Cannabis is not punishable by law. Next, the Dopefiend heads straight into the VaporLounge for a chat with resident Dopefiend.co.uk entheo-pundit Max Freakout about DMT and his experience of initiating first-timers in it, how different states of mind can affect the strength of a psychedelic experience, why the Dopefiend didn't get many affects from a large dose of truffles at the Big Chill, and how Max has experienced similar lacks of psychedelic effects during ayahuasca ceremonies, one of which he's just returned from, the range of reactions people have to ayahuasca, and the actual structure of the experience and how people respond to each other during and after it, the different types of ceremonies on offer, the authentic ceremony compared to brewing your own ayahuasca at home, and the role of the shaman in the ceremony, and the types of people who make up the ayahuasca ceremony gathering. Next the pair talk about the coffeeshop scene in the Netherlands, how the border towns are having their coffeeshops shut down under pressure from France, Belgium and Germany, resulting in an increase in street dealing, how the closure of a number of Rotterdam coffeeshops for proximity to schools doesn't appear to have materialized, and whether the cannabis scene in the Netherlands will ever be stamped out by its opponents. Max Freakout then unveils a selection of strains he's collected from various coffeeshops and talks about each and the place they came from, before grinding up some Chemdog for the pair to vaporize in the VaporLounge's trusty Volcano while talking about the expansion of coffeeshops in Amsterdam and how long it'll take for the bigger enterprises to break out of the city limits, leading to a brief chat about weed-friendly bars in Ibiza and the now virtually extinct British cannabis cafÃs. Back after several bags of strong Chemdog, the Dopefiend manages to keep it together long enough to hand over to DopeTriber Flick who gives her review of this summer's GocStock festival, then, in the Cannabis News: a Diabetic double-amputee, evicted from her Canadian apartment for using Cannabis as medicine, dies prompting protests from fellow BC citizens, more on the coffeeshops in Dutch border towns as Maastricht gets its own private membership programme for cannabis users in a bid to deter drug tourists, Cannabis legalization campaigner Edwin Stratton has his bid to face the High Court rejected, and speaks out against the ban of three legal highs, BZP, GBL and "Spice" smoking mixtures, and a new study shows that those who binge drink suffer less brain damage if they use cannabis.

On the first Dopecast back in the Dope Den after a couple of weeks of summer specials, the Web's Favourite Cannabis Commentator, the Dopefiend, talks about the growing body of evidence supporting the contention that cannabis has anti-cancer properties, and why some members of the establishment are unwilling to be drawn on the findings of some recent studies. Next, the Dopefiend talks about last week's Big Chill episode, and what made this year's Big Chill the best yet, how everyone treats it differently, and why it's such an important annual occurence from the Dopefiend, and we also hear from DopeTriber Jamin who made the pilgrimage to Eastnor to take part in the festivities, and also gives his verdict on MDMA and his favourite way to use it, and from Feargal who sends greetings from Ireland. Next, the Dopefiend heads into the VaporLounge to fire up the Volcano and taste a bit of freshly harvested White Russian while talking about the difficulty of adjusting to normal life after the paranoia-free environs of Barbados and the Big Chill, the popularity of the iolite portable vaporizer at the Chill, how he tragically lost a bag of sought-after Blue Cheese buds, and how his experience with psychedelic truffles at the Big Chill reinforced the famed Terence McKenna credo: "Don't Diddle The Dose!" Following a musical interlude introduced in person by DopeTriber Chasing For Courtship, the Dopefiend reads an email from the DopeTriber formally known as Floydhead, now reborn as Son of Floyd, in which he details his experience with Cannabis Psychosis and how he got through it, and responds to it with talk of the importance of self-awareness and the pitfalls of experimentation with altered states. Following a message from Francois Toke Dizzle, the Dopefiend turns to the Cannabis News, including the story of how the fabled "Mexican Drug Cartels" are taking the rap for the recent Californian forest fires, the deputy who shot and injured student Derek Copp faces the music, another DEA-led raid, this one on a California growing collective, results in a shot dog, Canadian "Prince of Pot" Marc Emery has hopes of serving his time in Canada following his decision to turn himself in at the US border, the UK ban on Spice and similar Cannabis analogues creeps closer, with the support of drug policy group DrugScope, the UK's last Cannabis Cafe gets shut down for good, why Cannabis makes your bones tougher, and how Patrick Swayze prefers to take his medicine on the hospital roof!

Dopecast186: LIVE from the Big Chill 2009!

mail@dopefiend.co.uk — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 10:00:00 GMT

On this week's incredible episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast LIVE from the amazing Big Chill festival, The Dopefiend kicks off this year's Big Chill madness at the DopeTent, chatting to Dopecast regular G13 about the coming weekend and last night's zombie-themed evening, why it was a slight let down, and how the weekend is set to proceed, before G13 takes his first ever DMT trip courtesy of Dopefiend.co.uk entheo-pundit Max Freakout. The Dopefiend then checks in with Son of Gonzo, Happydaze and Pothead about their Big Chill plans before getting the lowdown from G13 about his DMT experience. The next day, after another night of truffle and nitrous oxide-based insanity, the Dopefiend joins Happydaze lakeside in the sunshine to get a review of some amazing 5-year old ecstasy pills encountered by the DopeTribe the night before, how they enhanced the Basement Jaxx performance, and the Dopefiend's strangely mild truffle trip, and also talks to Jay K and Flick about the disturbing Chris Cunningham video set which brought on some shroom-based discomfort in all concerned, and how their evening progressed from there, as well as their plans to try "legal high" methedrone. The Dopefiend and Son of Gonzo then try to work out how little sleep he's had so far over the weekend, what his plans are for the coming evening, and how he saw Top Cat in the sky. Next the Dopefiend catches up with Max Freakout, who's feeding the Big Chill ducks, and talking about MDMA, Salvia, shrooms and Nitrous. Slightly later on, following a musical interlude showcasing Son of Gonzo's Big Chill anthem I and I Batman, the Dopefiend and tribe return to the DopeTent to reunite with Squidgy Sid who's still feeling the pain after his appalling whitey experience at DopeStock, and to chat with show sponsor Pothead, G13 talks about the famous buried 5 year-old ecstasy pills, and his Saturday night plans, and Squidgy Sid talks about his decision to splinter off from the DopeTent this year and set up his own rival camp, about the copious amounts of Nitrous flying around among the DopeTribe, and which strains of gourmet ganja the tribe have been packing their iolites, spliffs and pipes with so far. A bit of fly-on-the-wall audio follows, featuring Son of Gonzo attempting to play guitar in the middle of a Nitrous trip. Next up, brace your ears for some extreme bass as the Dopefiend hits Saturday night with a head full of MDMA and has a chat with Dopecast listener Jamin about his Big Chill experience outside the Rizla Arena following the Lamb set, then Son of Gonzo joins the pair, just as tons of chinese lanterns are released into the sky above Eastnor, then Son of Gonzo commandeers the mic as the Dopefiend takes his first live pill on the Dopecast. Desperately fighting against the bass, the Dopefiend talks to long term friend Limbo about his first experience of a DopeTribe gathering, from the middle of the crowd outside the Open Air Stage as Orbital limber up for their set, the Dopefiend hits the Sage N Sour while chatting to Limbo and G13, and shortly after the incredible Orbital set, the Dopefiend chats to some new found friends as well as Jay K, Flick and G13 about how everyone's evening's going so far, then fills some balloons with Nitrous Oxide while the gathering tribe chat amongst themselves, then following an immense MDMA Nitrous blast, the Dopefiend quickly mentions the controversy surrounding last year's Big Chill podcast, before the DopeTribe hit the Dance Tent to rave away the early hours. At 3am on Sunday Morning the music finishes at the dance tent, prompting the DopeTribe to try and figure out what to do next, while the Dopefiend chats to Squidgy Sid, Jay K, Flick, G13 and Limbo about their night. As the DopeTribe return to the DopeTent as the sky lightens, the Dopefiend gets final thoughts from G13 and Squidgy Sid, and they all reflect on the night's entertainment while vaping some Blue Cheese. Finally, the following night, just about recovered from an intense saturday, the DopeTribe reconvene at the "Big Burn" of a massive wooden Zombie effigy, and the Dopefiend wraps up another absurd podcast live from the amazingly beautiful Big Chill.

Dopecast185: LIVE from Barbados!

mail@dopefiend.co.uk — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 10:00:00 GMT

On this week's very special epsiode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast LIVE from Barbados, a super-chilled Dopefiend talks about his experience of Barbados, how easy it was to find herb on the island, the quality of what's on offer and how it compares to the usual standard of the Dopefiend's buds of choice as well as the pleasure of having an iolite portable vaporizer on such trips. After a mention for the weekend's Big Chill, which is the setting for next week's Dopecast, the Dopefiend moves on to hit the emails and cover such subjects as tattoos, the new all-black iolite, the surprising strength of the by-product hash which gathers in the iolite, more on the Big Chill and last year's highly controversial Big Chill coverage and the dangers of smoking mouldy weed. Heading out onto the blacony to soak in the sounds of the ocean, the Dopefiend samples a bit of authentic Bajan herb in his iolite while talking about its stealthyness and how it bypasses the usual fears associated with toking in unfamiliar countries. Following a Bob Marley musical interlude, the Dopefiend talks about whether there is any truth to Cannabis Psychosis, a bit of mobile phone chat, some recommendations on how to pass a drug test, including some talk about the Whizzinator, the Dopefiend's favourite coffeeshops in Amsterdam, California buds, honey oil, the availability of Kush strains in the UK, the importance of mindfulness and the North Sea Jazz Festival, the cannabis scene in Rotterdam, and posting bud back from Holland. In this week's Cannabis News: the San Fernando Valley dispensary which gave away free weed to celebrate their opening, Oakland passes a tax increase on Medical Marijuana, and why that's good for stoners, and the new iPhone app that helps you locate legal weed Don't miss next week's show LIVE from the Big Chill!

On this week's episode of the Dopecast, the Dopefiend talks about a new study into the dynamics of the illegal drug market and how it shows that tougher policing actually encourages increased drug use. Hitting the emails, the Dopefiend covers such subjects as the cannabis scene in China, how the iolite portable vaporizer compares to the Rolls Royce of vaporizers, the Volcano, whether it's possible to grow in your closet without stinking the house out, salvia tripping on a boat, DannyGreenFingers tells the DopeTribe of an opportunity to become a HighLife Cup Judge, more talk on the perfect grinder, vaporizing non-cannabis substances such as eucalyptus, and there's some praise for the Launch Box vaporizer. Hitting the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend tastes some Indica Green Spirit while talking about next week's Big Chill, and listens to some Japanese Hip Hop courtesy of Gomyo. Following an email from Enzo420 urging the Dopefiend to move into politics, Christine takes us step-by-step through the process of distilling medicinal cannabis tincture, a relatively simple process that can bring you a super-strong, super-stealthy way of administering your medicine. In this week's Cannabis News: Rhode Island looks into cannabis decriminalization, Californian medical marijuana patients benefit from legal bud delivered to their door courtesy of the Green Cross, a London cannabis cafe falls prey to the authorities, and a San Bernadino medical user has his stash returned to him by the police!

On this week's epsiode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend is LIVE on the banks of the River Thames with Dopetriber Esse B and Dopefiend.co.uk's resident entheo-pundit Max Freakout to talk in detail about the extraordinary story of Esse B's 11-year battle against the bizarre condition Cannabinoid Hyperemesis, the symptoms, the cause, the misdiagnoses, and the response from the cannabis community to the discovery of this condition. The discussion then moves on to how the pro-legalization movement can be as blinkered and as guilty of spreading unfounded propaganda as the prohibition movement, and why it's important to speak with honesty about cannabis, and how it can be a positive move to reduce one's cannabis intake anyway. Next up, the trio fire up the iolite and pack it full of some tasty Blue Cheese while talking about the origins of UK Cheese and the UK breeding scene, and whether the true original UK Cheese is still available anywhere. Following a hardcore musical interlude, the three Dopetribe representatives relocate to the very windy water's edge for a chat about this year's UK festival season, with Esse B giving his views of the recent GocStock festival, and Max Freakout and the Dopefiend looking ahead to the ever-approaching Big Chill, which is shaping up to be an absolute monster, featuring many mind-bending substances and thousands of zombies. Finally, the Dopefiend, Esse B and Max Freakout talk about a couple of this month's Cannabis News stories, starting with the mainstream press's insistence that a 17 year-old chef died due to being "ravaged" by cannabis use, and the positive news that more than half of all those fined since the introduction of tougher cannabis laws in the UK have refused to pay up.

On this week's episode of the Dopecast, the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcaster talks about the recommendations from a Dutch government Commission to turn cannabis coffeeshops into members-only clubs in an attempt to put an end to large-scale drug tourism from neighbouring European countries, what it could mean for the scene in Amsterdam, and whether there's any reason for the DopeTribe to worry. Hitting the emails, the Dopefiend talks about his marriage, whether Dopegirl will ever appear on the Dopecast, studying while using cannabis, some advice about visiting Amsterdam and sore throats while vaping and how to avoid them. Heading into the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend tastes some strong-flavoured Brainstorm while talking about the demographic breakdown of cannabis users and why it seems more men use cannabis than women, then chats about the impending Big Chill and how the Dopetribe will be able to "find the others" out at Eastnor. Returning after a vapour-themed musical interlude, the Dopefiend reads more emails, covering the difficulties of living a secret stoner life and how to meet like-minded folks, more on the perfect grinder, and whether the answer is simpler than the Dopefiend thought, we hear from the Dopefiend Network's first underwater listener, and hear his review of the Da Buddha vaporizer, and we hear from Christine, who gives a roundup of the legalization movement's progress in Oregon. In this week's Cannabis News, Robert Anton Wilson's medical marijuana card is auctioned off to the "highest" bidder, licensed medical marijuana users get the go-ahead to sue police who violate their rights to their choice of medicine, and the non-profit medical cannabis delivery service that advertises its wares on Twitter!

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about Canada's self-styled Prince of Pot, Marc Emery, who has finally given up his fight against extradition to the United States for selling seeds to American customers, and has embarked on his "farewell tour" to the Canadian cannabis community. Hitting the emails, the Dopefiend covers such varied subjects as the chances of full cannabis legalization in California, using vapo-poop and kif to make powerful stoner edibles, the Vapor Bros vaporizer, how tea with Ginseng can counter-act the sleepyness brought on by regular cannabis use, conspiracy theories and why human beings are so willing to embrace them, the British National Health Service and whether it would work as a model for a socialized healthcare system in the USA, whether vaporizing can eliminate the powerful munchies craving, keeping your cannabis habit secret from your partner, and which portable vaporizer is best suited to sneaky stealth toking. Hitting the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend gives the Magic Flight Launch Box vaporizer a test run with some tasty Nebula, and compares it with the iolite for stealth, efficiency and portability. Back from the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend returns to the emails, talking about the difficulties of living in a predominantly anti-cannabis community, and how cannabis users should stand up for their rights, for example by refusing to convict when summoned for jury duty on a cannabis case, how the iolite can enhance your health, especially when coupled with hikes in the woods, whether cannabis can make you more introverted or more extroverted and what factors determine which outcome, a fascinating story from Josh about a very difficult situation brought about by false allegations of cannabis growing and sexual abuse, whether the Volcano vaporizer's Solid Valve or Easy Valve system is better suited to the average stoner, and we hear a weird cannabis trip report from Grant. In this week's Cannabis News: more evidence contradicting the belief that cannabis use causes schizophrenia or other psychoses, New Zealand rejects legal medical marijuana after seven years of deliberation on the subject, a sleazy bus driver forces underage girls to strip to their underwear, claiming he suspected them of carrying cannabis, and California's dispensaries beg the government to tax them!

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about the news that Washington is to end its policy of opium poppy eradication in Afghanistan, further evidence of some common sense approaches being applied in the War on Drugs. Hitting the emails, the Dopefiend covers "stuck podcast syndrome", how the Dopefiend Network helps listeners get through periods of abstinence, the Big Chill, the stoner scene in Barbados, more on Terminator Salvation, colour blindness and how it effects cannabis use or cultivation, the strange condition of Cannabinoid Hyperemesis and how it's struck the DopeTribe, a recommendation for anti-red-eye drops, some praise for our very own entheo-pundit Max Freakout, Happy Chief filters and whether they really work, Medical Marijuana Inc and the projects they're working on, the Arizer V-Tower vaporizer and how it compares to the Vapir family of vaporizers, whether you can be friends with people who strongly disagree with your opinions on cannabis, some iolite troubleshooting and praise for the world's best portable vaporizer. Speaking of which, the Dopefiend heads into the VaporLounge to taste a bit of Arjan's Haze in his iolite and to talk about how Cannabis copes with passing time, and to read an email from Chasing for Courtship featuring some of his more leftfield stoner revelations, before settling down to hear his latest musical creation. Back from the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend gives a mention to Psychedelic Podfather Lorenzo's new audiobook, The Genesis Generation, and DopeTriber Ostritt's novel Beyond The Basin, before moving on to talk about the lack of risks associated with cannabis use by pregnant women, the dangers of becoming addicted to the Dopefiend Podcast Network, the reliability of vaporizers on eBay, and an example of how almost a century of anti-drug propaganda affects reasonable people. In this week's Cannabis News, a mayoral candidate has the solution to Flint, Michigan's ills, The "Nice People Take Drugs" campaign release their "World Leader" deck of playing cards in a bid to expose drug-related hypocrisy, and stoned wallabies take the rap for a recent spate of Tasmanian crop circles!

On the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast this week, the Dopefiend begins by talking about this year's UN World Drug Report which for the first time in history makes the incredibly significant move of praising the decriminalization policies of Portugal, designates decriminalization legal under international law, and accepts that prohibition has increased global crime. The Dopefiend also looks at US Drug Czar Gil Kerlikowske's lacklustre response to the report and considers the potential fallout. Hitting the emails, the Dopefiend talks about Star Trek, The Hangover, the rumours of a new model of the iolite portable vaporizers and whether the minimal flaws in the original design are cause for concern, AK47, some interesting research into cannabis, the munchies and heart disease, Amsterdam's stoner paradise Haarlemmerstraat, the etiquette of communal vaporizers in Amsterdam, and we hear from Odee who drops a voicemail into the Dopefiend's inbox. Following some congratulations from long time DopeTriber Ned Fletcher, the Dopefiend heads into the VaporLounge to talk about his recent wedding, and vape a celebratory bag of All-Star Sativa Salad vapour featuring Sour Diesel, AK47 and John Sinclair, after which we hear from G13, Squidgy Sid and Max Freakout reporting live from the wedding itself. After a musical interlude in tribute to the late Michael Jackson, the Dopefiend talks about the Bauhaus movement, why he feels TV is a valid art form, Francois Toke Dizzle drops a voicemail, we hear about German hemp beer, growing cannabis in a freezer and the strength of the edible cannabis experience. Gruffdiver gives some in-depth analysis into the facts around cannabis potency and how it was used as an excuse for cannabis reclassification in the UK without any firm evidence of its potential to harm, then the Dopefiend hits the Cannabis News, including an update on the erroneous raid on a Maryland mayor's home which resulted in deputies shooting his two dogs, Spokane heralds the establishment of its first Medical Marijuana dispensaries, Australia and New Zealand are named as the world's top Cannabis consumers, and a New Zealand man celebrates by sparking up in parliament, and a New Jersey man accidentally texts a police officer instead of his dealer.

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about Congressman Mark Kirk's proposal to lock up dealers of high strength cannabis for 25 years! Hitting the emails, the Dopefiend covers such subjects as tripping with a sibling, the ultimate stoner job, employee drug-testing and its civil liberties implications, exemplified by a story from Melissa, and the joys of mushroom tea, and why the Dopefiend would rather just bolt the blighters down. Heading into the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend goes into detail on the truth about cannabis potency and the true history and various misconceptions surrounding the term "skunk", while tasting some freshly harvested Blueberry Skunk. Back after a super-chilled musical interlude, the Dopefiend talks about cheeseless pizza and stoner-friendly heavy metal. In the Cannabis News this week, a warning to Mail-Order Marijuana customers as 4 men are arrested after receiving cannabis in the post, an attempt to put a stop to Rhode Island's cannabis compassion clubs fails thanks to the House and Senate, and a San Diego doctor is suspended for appointing an undercover cop as a caregiver for his dog!

Zandor designs a better way to attach cool tubes to track light movers. Zandorâs design keeps your cool tubes (both homemade and store purchased) horizontal to your plants and the air flowing freely to maintain
cool temperatures. This is the first part on how to build a track light cool tube assembly.

Beyond The Basin

mail@beyondthebasin.com — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 10:00:00 GMT

This special edition Beyond the Basin podcast contains two readings from the novel and features original music composed on the wooden flute, Peruvian Quena and Sansula.

Synopsis:

In a shallow basin of water, separated from a vast ocean by a narrow isthmus, two children play secretly. Behind them lies a dense rainforest, within which two communities wait divided. One is an undiscovered shamanic tribe deep in the forest, the other a Franciscan mission. Both children were born into the tribe, but only one has stayed.

Half-way across the world, a young journalist follows them in his dreams, waking up each morning with no recollection of what he has seen. In his waking life, he begins to feel the tug of an unfamiliar and alien emotion, something telling him to leave his life and seek something else.

Beyond the Basin is an exploration of the beauty and complexity of the psychedelic experience. Exploring the social, metaphysical and spiritual implications of humanity's communion with medicinal plants, it seeks to unravel some of the mystery around these amazing substances.

Beyond the Basin will also be the MAPS 'Gift of the Month' in July, which is sent out free to donators. Any listeners, especially in the US, can also get the novel by donating and in doing so aid future psychedelic research. See Maps.org for more details.

Hitting the emails, we hear an update from Dopecast regular Samwise Ganja about his recent eye injury and how he's recovering, whether certain drugs can inhibit the high from cannabis, there's more iolite praise, the Dopefiend gives his verdict on Terminator Salvation and Drag Me To Hell, some talk about the origins of "420", more on the strange half-sleep half-wake state discussed previously on the Dopecast and the benefits of taking a tolerance break. Heading into the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend fires up his iolite for a first taste of some fresh Sage N' Sour vapour and a musical interlude created by listener Wayne. Back from the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend reads an iolite story from Evil Manatee, whether vaporizing is good for the lungs or not, tripping with family, whether to tell your parents about your cannabis use, a story from Johnny McPot about stealth growing in his mum's backyard, and some support for the VaporBros vaporizer. In the Cannabis News this week, Marc Emery announces he will plead guilty at his looming extradition hearing, on advice from his lawyer, addicts are more likely to complete addiciton treatment if they use cannabis, Hollywood hottie and Megan Fox lends her support to the legalization movemnent.

On this week's episode of the Dopecast, the Web's Favourite Cannabis Commentator, the Dopefiend, talks about the truth behind the US Government's claim that cannabis has reached an all-time high in terms of its potency, and why all statistics, especially government ones, can't be trusted. Hitting the emails, the Dopefiend talks about smoking hash in spliffs versus smoking it in pipes, Salvia Divinorum, including a crazy trip report, the ever-approaching Big Chill festival, a warning about 5-HTP and some discussion of natural anti-depressant St John's Wort and the incredible iolite portable vaporizer and what makes it so special. Heading into the VaporLounge to sample some freshly harvested Blue Cheese, the Dopefiend talks about how to deal with the munchies, then, after a reggae-rific musical interlude, he hits on the subjects of cannabis use during pregnancy and how to cope without it, reads the story of how Lyrical Bud got busted by campus police, mentions a few other vaporizers and answers a comment from a "listener" complaining that he never mentions any other vaporizers. In the Cannabis News, Illinois creeps closer to legal medical marijuana, the White House once again struggles to ignore pro-legalization arguments, 16 Rotterdam coffeeshops close due to proximity to schools, a Boston firefighter resigns after his massive home grow is raided, a Washington medical user is compensated to the tune of $2000 for his confiscated grow kit, and a 17 year old student sparks up in front of the whole school in protest against cannabis prohibition.

On the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast this week, the Dopefiend talks about HealthCanada and the Canadian Government's "slap in the face" to medical marijuana users by upping the number of patients for whom caregivers can grow cannabis to only 2! Hitting the emails, the Dopefiend covers such varied subjects as cannabis use when young and whether it affects the user in later life, how heavy cannabis use can get out of control, anxiety brought on by cannabis use and how to avoid it, and alcohol-free beer. Heading into the VaporLounge to vaporize some very tasty and freshly harvested Lemon Skunk while talking about the DopeTribe's right to criticize the Dopefiend .co.uk podcasts. Following an ambient style musical interlude from Pojut, the Dopefiend returns to the emails, talking about the case of Michigan student Derek Copp, shot for no reason by a narcotics officer, a crazy weed-trip report from Wayne, mescaline and the nature of its effects, and a poem from StonerStretch. In this week's Cannabis News, we hear audio of Tennessee Congressman Steve Cohen taking on FBI Director Robert Mueller to task on marijuana legalization and the "gateway theory," the latest on the Marc Emery extradition saga, the legally licensed grower whose op was hit first by thieves, then by the police who came to catch them, and the girl scouts who discovered a monster stash at their bring-and-buy sale.

As a special treat for our listeners, we'll also be joined by Tirikite Toker as he takes some time out from his busy schedule to chat to us about his travels through India and Japan, while pursuing his life-long passion of tabla. We also discuss bhang, and charas before being treated to a performance by Tirikite Toker on his well-travelled tabla drums. Boom!

The Bungalow still has a double-pass up for grabs to GocStock (June 19-21, 2009) the boutique, three-day music festival held in Bluebell Forest, Kent (UK). All you need to do is email us and tell us why you should have a ticket to GocStock and the Bungalow judges panel shall decide! blackbeauty@dopefiend.co.uk

Of course, we'll be hearing some listener's emails and a great mix of music, "just right" to accompany you and your friends on your next stoner sesh. Plus we'll hear comedy from Eddie Izzard as well as a CNN interview with economics professor Jeffrey Miron, on the merits of marijuana legalisation.

Thank you to Pip Boy for our podcast artwork (check out the pink Iolite!) and remember to email Blackbeauty@dopefiend.co.uk or leave a voicemail for free on Skype on BlackBeauty1977.

mail@dopefiend.co.uk — Mon, 25 May 2009 10:00:00 GMT

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about the latest report from the British think-tank the Centre for Policy Studies, entitled "The Phoney War on Drugs", and how it's yet another suggestion of the popularity and effectiveness of a more pragmatic approach to the global drug problem, and further evidence that the War on Drugs continues to be a failure on almost every front. Hitting the emails, the Dopefiend first talks about how his Dopefiend.co.uk wristband and hemp shoes could result in prejudice from anti-drug folk who happen to notice them, then moves on to discuss the dangers of tripping in open water, how low blood sugar caused by cannabis use affects diabetics, the value of therapeutic tripping, the medical benefits of cannabis use for glaucoma sufferers and the cheap and nasty iolite-a-likes surfacing from the far east and why you should avoid them. Strolling into the VaporLounge to find Dopestock regular G13, the dopefiend engages him in conversation about DopeStock, G13's love of indica strains, whether CBD is psychoactive, allergic reactions to cannabis, and the iolite vaporizer while using it to administer some super-strong White Cheese, fresh from near victory at the DopeStock Cup. After a musical interlude from long-time DopeTriber Big Dave, the DOpefiend returns to talk more about how the iolite compares to the air2 Oxygen Mini, and why all stoners should steer clear of the vapir/voodoo/air2 family of vaporizers, more on smoking when young and whether it permanently affects your memory, the incredible revolutionary aspect of the iolite vaporizer, and more on cannabis and creativity and how it relates to video gaming. In this week's Cannabis News, an update on last week's talk of San Diego's now failed attempt to challenge legal medical marijuana policy in California, good news from Minnesota, but only for the terminally ill!, and medical grower Eddy Lepp is sentenced to 10 years in jail, an update on the fascinating Edwin Stratton/Alan Taylor cases, which aim to rock Cannabis policy in the UK to its core, and the sheriff charged with selling a pound of cannabis a week!

Dopecast173

mail@dopefiend.co.uk — Mon, 18 May 2009 10:00:00 GMT

On the first Dopecast from the Dope Den since the festivities of this year's DopeStock in Amsterdam, the Web's Favourite Cannabis Commentator, the Dopefiend, once again focuses on the spiralling confusion and contradiction surrounding Cannabis Law in the United States despite the Obama Administration's promises of a new approach, with news of what looks like two steps back by the Department of Justice, neatly timed to coincide with new drug czar Gil Kerlikowske's tentative single step forward. Just before he hits the emails, the Dopefiend puts a call out for donations as this week's income will all go towards the Man with the Velvet Voicebox, Lefty, in anticipation of his impending return to the Dopefiend.co.uk Podcast Network, then tackles such diverse subjects as whether cannabis psychosis can be strain-specific, why all stoners should conduct their own research into how different strains affect them and how to avoid a Squidgy Sid-style whitey. Next, the Dopefiend heads into the VaporLounge to take a taste of some G-Bomb, and talk about a recent chance encounter with Dopetriber Herodian at the DopeCave, this year's extraordinary DopeStock and memories of the Canal Cruise and the White Cheese, and the Dopefiend's plans for surviving a couple of very busy months approaching in his private life and how it'll affect the Dopecast. After a musical interlude from TirikiteToker's musical outfit Tibet2Timbuk2, the Dopefiend returns with talk of whether he is naturally an introvert or an extrovert, whether cannabis use is incompatible with Christianity and we hear from DopeTriber Snail about pro-pot documentary Waiting to Inhale and the legal situation surrounding medical Marijuana in his native San Diego. In this week's Cannabis News, a new survey show the most support in history for legalizing cannabis in the United States, further developments in the Marc Emery extradition case, why 30 dutch cannabis coffeeshops are set to become members-only establishments, former Mexican President Vicente Fox calls for the decriminalization of cannabis, and Snoop Dogg comes to the rescue of an aide facing charges for taking delivery of some prime BC Bud.

On the third and final dopecast from this 2009's extraordinary DopeStock extravaganza in the Capital City of Cannabis, the Web's Favourite Cannabis Commentator, the Dopefiend, opens up the festivities in the basement of Amsterdam's most comfortable coffeeshop, the Dolphins, for the DopeStock Evening Session. To kick things off, the Dopefiend chats to Dopetribe mainstay G13 about his ingenious technique for getting Son of Gonzo to buy him drinks in exchange for rolling joints, and which strains are looking popular for the DopeStock cup, then seeks Bushmiller's opinion about the setting for the Evening Session, the Verdamper vaporizers installed at the Dolphins, then talks to Son of Gonzo himself, and Dr. Dank about his experience of Amsterdam as a regular visitor, which vaporizer he prefers out of his iolite and Volcano, and how the Volcano enabled him to cut out smoking altogether and whether he misses the ritual of rolling joints. Moving over to Pothead and Shockrocket's table, the Dopefiend chats with the guys about their level of stonedness, how the votes are tallying up for the DopeStock Cup and why Pothead doesn't smoke anymore, then the Dopefiend talks to DopeTribe newcomer Noah who's rushed down to the Dolphins following a hard day's studying for the Evening Session about his opinion of the iolite compared to his trusty Volcano, then asks all three for their opinion of whether Peresident Barack Obama is a good president for Cannabis Users. Pothead having cleared a blockage in the iolite, the Dopefiend loads it with some White Dolphin, while Pothead talks about the strange spectacle of iolite users sucking up ground buds into the iolite herb chamber, then Noah gives his opinion of the flavour and the strength of the iolite hit. Heading over to where Ostritt's gearing up for the joint rolling competition, the Dopefiend eavesdrops on his plans for a winning joint, then talks to him about the poetry competition he's holding at the Evening Session, and the book that he's giving away as the prize, his own creation, Beyond The Basin, and whether his own Cannabis use mirrors that of his protagonist in terms of spiritual and recreational use, before the whole table chimes in on the subject of watching TV when stoned, and then the Dopefiend and Ostritt manage to convince poetry competition entrant Crowley's Wife to read her entry. Next up the Dopefiend talks to Dopestock veteran Jonny B who gives his expert view of this year's DopeStock, and also chats to HudsonRulez, Dr. Dank and the Herodians about their thoughts on Amsterdam and their votes for the DopeStock Cup. Following a musical interlude, the Dopefiend opens the 2009 DopeStock joint rolling competition with judges Herodian and Dr. Dank casting their view over the handiwork of Herodian, Ostritt, a controversial submission from G13, Blazing Glory and DanSon who submitted a "joint" entry under the name "Team Glass Onion", some absurdity from Billy G and Will, and a final entry from Jonny B, before the judges make their final decision on the winning and running up submissions. Joint rolling completed, the Dopefiend and HudsonRulez open the voting for the DopeStock Cup, passing the two finalists round in joint form and iolite form and getting opinions from Pothead, Shockrocket, Noah, Komrade, G13, DutchBoy, Mullet and Billy G, before tallying the final votes and announcing the winner of this year's DopeStock Cup, with yet more controversy surrounding a miserable G13. Finishing the evening's festivities, we hear the remaining entries for the Poetry competition with words from HudsonRulez, Son of Gonzo and Bushmiller and Ostritt announces the winners of 2 copies of Beyond The Basin. Join the Dopefiend back in the Dope Den next week as normal service resumes on the Dopecast!

Dopecast171: LIVE from DopeStock 2009 at the Cannabis College!

mail@dopefiend.co.uk — Mon, 4 May 2009 10:00:00 GMT

On the second of our three live Dopecasts from 2009's massive Dopestock celebrations from the Capital City of Cannabis, the Web's Favourite Cannabis Commentator, the Dopefiend, gets the party started at the Cannabis College by hitting the Volcano vaporizer with the Herodians, Shockrocket and Max Freakout who've got some Silver Bubble on the go while talking about their choices for the Dopestock Cup, including some talk of the elusive and mysterious White Cheese which is still the strain everyone's talking about. Next the Dopefiend turns his attention to Mrs Herodian who gives her opinion on why the DopeTribe is so male-dominated, and what her highlights of this year's DopeStock celebrations have been, before Herodian talks about how proper use of vaporizers can lessen the impact of the current financial pressures on stoners, and how the Cannabis market in Amsterdam compares to that in Britain, and how a legalized market might work in the United Kingdom. Hitting a touch of White Russian, the Dopefiend moves over to chat with The Grow Report's Vapor Mod HudsonRulez and DopeTribe elder Komrade about the growth in the Vaporizer scene in Amsterdam, how it compares to Canada, and the similarities and differences between the two nations' smoking laws, then he seeks the pair's opinion concerning US President Barack Obama and whether his administration is more stoner-friendly than those previous, the worrying situation in Mexico, arming the homeless, the medical marijuana movement, and whether there's any hope for the legalization movement in the United States. Next up, the Dopefiend hits the Cannabis College garden with G13, Pothead, Billy G and Danson for a tour of the beautiful plants on display there and a chat about life working at the Cannabis College and what sort of work they do there, and the state of the Cannabis scene in Amsterdam and how it's suffering at the hands of the current Dutch government and their opposition to the leniency of cannabis law. After a brief sojourn to the open air to enjoy a bit of improvised musical entertainment in the sunshine from Son of Gonzo and Ostritt, the Dopefiend heads back into the Cannabis College to observe the construction of a giga-joint for 4/20, which is being hastily packed together by a crew of crack cannabis connoiseurs, while a 3 metre monster Volcano bag is also prepared for our 4.20 celebrations, in tandem with a warm-up 3 metre bag of LSD weed vapes which is enjoyed by the likes of Blazing Glory and Stoney, but not Jono420, who explains why he's not a fan of the LSD and which strains he has enjoyed, as well as a chat about the smoking ban and the mushroom ban in Holland and how they've affected the Amsterdam scene. Next the Dopefiend talks to Stoney about the legend of the White Cheese and the assorted exhibits on display at the Cannabis College, before heading over to have a word with official Dopestock greeter G13, who's a fan of the LSD, but became a White Cheese convert on the Canal Cruise and is firmly pushing for it to win the DopeStock Cup. Next, the Dopefiend talks to Squidgy Sid who's making tea and constructing a joint with some fresh tasty hash, and also gives his opinion of the White Cheese, and explains why he finds it difficult to stop smoking joints, even with the advances in the Vaporizer world of late. Next the Dopefiend turns his attention to Jay_K and Flick, who give their thoughts on the various strains on offer, before a quick chat with veteran Dopestocker Jonny B who's enjoying the effects of a 9-strain salad, then he heads back towards the Volcano, where Max Freakout is filling one of our monster party bags with Amnesia Haze vapour, and the pair talk about how Max is coping with a neverending supply of Cannabis, the prospects for Psychonautica's and the Dopefiend.co.uk network's future, Max's reaction to the increasing government sanctions on Amsterdam's unique culture, and his views on Druidude's recent Dopestock interview with Eddie Stratton, whether there's any hope for legalization, and whether it really matters anyway, and also about a recent newspaper exposÃ involving the British government's drug propaganda wing, "Frank" actually telling the truth! Finally, the Dopefiend gets a last update on the runners for this year's DopeStock Cup from Pothead before gathering Son of Gonzo, HudsonRulez, Dr Dank and all the rest of the DopeTribe together around the enormous 420 vapour bag and counting down to 4.20 itself!

Dopecast170: LIVE from the DopeStock Cannabis Canal Cruise 2009!

mail@dopefiend.co.uk — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 10:00:00 GMT

On the first of three incredible episodes of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast LIVE from our DopeStock festivities in the Capital City of Cannabis, Amsterdam, the Dopefiend welcomes you aboard this year's Cannabis Canal Cruise and chats to Dopetribe regulars Ostritt and G13 about his arrival in Amsterdam and their participation in a summery truffle trip in the Vondelpark and the importance of siezing the opportunity to commune with the mushroom. G13 describes a very intense cleansing experience he had while the other trippers were chilling in the Rokerij Coffeeshop, then they talk about how portable vaporization has changed the Amsterdam experience, and also list some favourite coffeeshops and some of the early contenders for the DopeStock Cup, before catching up with Squidgy Sid about his experience of the Friday afternoon truffle trip and chatting to the Grow Report forum's Vapor Mod HudsonRulez about how Amsterdam compares to Canada as a stoner tourism destination. An incredibly stoned Mountainhigh takes the mic, and Son of Gonzo gibbers some characteristic nonsense. Next up, DopeStock veteran Bushmiller explains how he's devoted to return to Dopestock every time it happens, and what he likes about nearby coffeeshop and shopping centre Haarlem, before G13 passes round his iolite packed with some tasty Chiezel, sparking some discussion of the mouthpiece options available for the iolite, and G13's love of strong powerful indicas. Following the Dopefiend's recounting of the horror story that was his journey to Amsterdam for this year's DopeStock, involving Sour Queen, lost passports and associated chaos, he turns his attention to Squidgy Sid who clearly won this year's Whitey crown for an unprecedented display in the Greenhouse Lounge, and explains the sequence of events. Last year's organizer of the Canal Cruise, Jay_K, talks about his view of Amsterdam this year and how it's changed, paying particular attention to DopeTribe favourite coffeeshop Amnesia, then Son of Gonzo tunes up and graces us with a bit of classic Bob Dylan. Following a relocation to the bow of the Dopestock Bud Boat, the Dopefiend talks to Dopetriber Blazing Glory and his partner in crime Mullet about their own Dopestock travel nightmare and their mad dash to the dock to board the Canal Cruise, before turning to Komrade who's nominating Cheese for the Dopestock Cup, prompting some discussion of sativa strains Sleestack and the ultra-jittery LSD strain, then DutchBoy tells of his recent embracement of the Dopefiend.co.uk Podcast Network, and what it's like to live 20 minutes away from the Capital City of Cannabis. Next up, entheo-pundit extraordinaire Max Freakout talks about his experience of the Vondelpark trip session, and how the psychedelic experience never gets boring and how it compares to Cannabis in that respect, and how the new Dutch ban on psychedelic mushrooms has affected their availability in Amsterdam, and how truffles managed to escape the ban, before Stoney and Pothead talk about their experience of Amsterdam, while Pothead loads up his iolite with Chocolope, another favourite among the DopeTribe, leading to a discussion of what strains might be high up in the rankings for this year's DopeStock Cup before talking to Flick and Herodian about the new breed of spruced-up coffeeshops, whether the smoking ban has effected the coffeeshop scene, and whether the tobacco-free smoking mixes provided by coffeeshops are any good. Just then White Cheese makes a late entry courtesy of Jay_K and Flick, causing the Dopefiend to stop dead in mid-sentence as the stone kicks in, before rallying and talking to Jay about the legality of mushrooms, the fantastic Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory website, and the coming closure of Homegrown Fantasy, then moving on to speak to Shockrocket who's loading his iolite with a Lefty favourite, Red Cherry Berry, about his history with Cannabis and the quality of herb available in his native South Africa, and his favourite strains from his time in Amsterdam. Finally turning his attention to the beautiful twilight scenery surrounding the Canal Cruise and chatting to Herodian about the dream of living in Amsterdam, and the joys of being able to frequently vist such a stoner mecca, the Dopefiend wraps up the festivities as best he can with a head full of White Cheese.

Psychonautica072

maxfreakout@dopefiend.co.uk — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 14:17:00 GMT

In this episode of psychonautica, Max Freakout plays a talk by Ralph Metzner from the World Psychedelic forum called 'Alchemical Divination - healing the past and visioning possible futures'. Metzner talks about the meaning of divination, obtaining knowledge from inner sources such as intuition, the higher self and ancestor spirits, the shamanic worldview, animism and nature spirits, using divination to heal the past and to look into the future for guidance, splintered self-identity following a trauma, the healing process involving re-experiencing and integration, remembering and dismembering, reconnecting what has been disconnected, panic attacks nightmares and flashbacks, the associations of tarot iching and astrology with divination, using altered states for getting out from the rutted frameworks of ordinary thinking, non-rational systems and reconceving assumptions, the importance of rhythmic drumming to shamanic traditions, healing others by understanding the process of healing, shamanism alchemy and yoga as 3 parallel systems of personal holistic transformation, different aspects of yoga and the path to liberationfrom repetitive patterns. After the Metzner talk, Max reads out a trip report involving a major life transformation brought about by psychedelics and family involvement. Email maxfreakout@dopefiend.co.uk and hang out with the friendly psychonauts at www.thegrowreport.com.

On this week's special 4/20 episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend celebrates the annual stoner holiday by chatting to medical user and British cannabis activist Jim "Pinky" Starr, the man behind May 2nd's Legalise Cannabis Protest in London's Whitehall for a chat about what motivated him to become an activist and to take on the job of organizing the UK's only major legalisation protests. Hitting the emails, the Dopefiend covers such subjects as how vaporizers can help the medical cannabis community, how the iolite portable vaporizer can even be used in the supermarket, last week's incredible interview with Eddie Stratton and the stacks of positive feedback about it, whether solo DopeTribe members can enjoy Dopestock on their own and how changing career and listening to yourself can enhance your happiness, then the Dopefiend fires up his own iolite, filled with tasty Sour Diesel, and chats about the origins of great strains like Sour Diesel, the new coloured models of the iolite, before we hear a musical interlude from DopeTribe elder Son of Gonzo. Back and very stoned thanks to the Sour Diesel, the Dopefiend talks about how Cannabis can change the lives of cancer sufferers, and how many Cannabis users are using Cannabis for medical reasons without even knowing it, different techniques for iolite use, we hear from HudsonRulez about his iolite and his forthcoming attendance of the Golbal Marijuana March in Toronto. In the Cannabis News, Mexico's opposition party looks at decriminalizing drug posession, President Obama appoints an addiction treatment specialist as the Drug Czar's no.2, Portugal's own decriminalization policy pays off, Cannabis decriminalization is proven to have no effect on levels of use, smoking tobacco in addition to Cannabis increases chances of lung disease, and hemp houses leave a better than zero carbon footprint!

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about the cost-benefit analysis into legalization of all illegal drugs carried out by the British drugs policy foundation Transform, and why the government's opposition to it is not only ill thought out, but it's actually delivering the opposite of their won stated aims. Hitting the emails, the Dopefiend talks about the phenomenon of "contact highs", whether Cannabis use can aid "astral projection", whether underage vaping is as dangerous as underage smoking, how Cannabis can have an anti-depressant effect and why it's important to watch out for mouldy marijuana. Heading into the VaporLounge for a taste of some John Sinclair to evoke memories of Amsterdam, the Dopefiend goes into detail about the plans for next week's fun in Amsterdam, before taking a musical interlude courtesy of DopeTribe elder Esse B. Back from the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend introduces an extra special section in which
Druidude kicks of this week's Cannabis News with a follow-up to last week's story of the teacher taking his cannabis case to the British High Court, as he talks in-depth to the man who pioneered this defence, Eddie Stratton, about Cannabis law and how to challenge it in the UK. In the rest of the Cannabis News this week, some Australian anti-Cannabis propaganda makes claims about a new syndrome affecting heavy users, further details emerge about THC's cancer-fighting properties, UC Santa Cruz tries to clamp down on their 4/20 celebrations, customs officers discover 90 pounds of bud hidden inside picture frames, and the Harry Potter actor who was busted for operating a "Â2000 Cannabis Farm" in his mum's house.

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about US President Barack Obama's recent off-hand dismissal of legalization of cannabis as an economic remedy at a "Virtual Town Hall", and the equally disappointing attempt at elucidation by the White House press secretary, drawing on the reaction from the DopeTribe, some of whom still side with the president, and some who aren't so forgiving, and explaining why there's really nothing funny about Cannabis prohibition. Hitting the emails, the Dopefiend talks about how vaporizers can save your money as well as your lungs, making pizza with cannabis, the California bid to legalize posession of cannabis, whether there is such a thing as "too much weed", whether there any ill-health effects associated with Cannabis use other than those cause by smoke inhalation, and we get a poetic contribution from Wayne before the Dopefiend fires up the Iolite/I-Inhale portable vaporizer and strolls around with some fresh Nebula while talking about his Salvia plant, and giving the full details of the ever-approaching third annual DopeStock festival in Amsterdam, including news of Ostritt's Poetry Competition. After a rocking musical interlude from JohnoLeader, the Dopefiend, considerably lifted by the Nebula, reads a sad story of dissatisfaction concerning Roarcorp Film Guy and his Vapir Oxygen Mini vaporizer, we hear from the Baked Baker about her stealth vaping adventures as Starbucks, and the Dopefiend also covers the risk, if any, to male cannabis user's reproductive cabapility. Finally, the Dopefiend reads the first email he's received from an unsatisfied iolite owner, then he rounds things of with the Cannabis News, including the story of a major crackdown on bongs in Israel, a proposed Nevada bill would once again make medical growers criminals, two men report their stolen weed and pipes to the police, and Method Man is so high he forgot to pay his tax bills!

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about last week's announcement by the Attorney General of the United States that medical marijuana despensaries would no longer be targeted by federal agencies, and how it's opened the doors for many more states to feel out the possibilities of legalizing medical cannabis and make recreational users a low priority. Following a round-up of the moves towards decriminalization across the US, and a shout out for the many dopetribe members who have signed their name in memory of a late member of the cannabis community, the Dopefiend hits the emails, starting with a couple on the subject of how excessive cannabis use can do more harm than good, how maintaining the balance between your use of various plant and chemical allies and your everyday life is important, and why the plant itself is never to blame for such ill effects, why vaporizer uses almost always abandon their previous love of smoking once they become accustomed to the cleaner high and fresher flavours of vape, and whether you can really get a satisfying body hogh using vaporizers like the Volcano. Heading into the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend samples a tasty touch of Grapefruit Diesel in his Volcano while talking about the ever-nearing Dopestock festivities hitting Amsterdam on April 20th, tells some happy news concerning friend of the Dopecast and head honcho of the Cannabis College Lorna Clay, gives the final details of our Cannabis Canal Cruise organized by DopeTribe newcomer DutchBoy, then hits an email from this week's contributing musician Lovecraft23 about the battle between truth and propaganda on the front line of the decriminalization movement. Following a musical interlude, the Dopefiend talks briefly about the name change of the I-Inhale to "iolite", whether cannabis or entheogen use can worsen clinical depression, and what can be done to counter it and the pleasures of toking before or even during a movie. In this week's Cannabis News, the sports columnist busted for home growing because he bought items from High Times advertisers, Canada's "Prince of Pot" claims the Canadian government are running him out of town in preparation for the Olympics, authorities suspect a massive Canada-US smuggling operation employing helicopters to carry cannabis and other drugs across the border, Massachussets clamps down on stoners taking advantage of their recent decriminalization of small amounts of Cannabis by smoking in public, and a British teacher takes on the Cannabis laws in the High Court.

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend hails another milestone in a series of steps towards a new American approach to medical cannabis law following this week's announcement by Eric Holder concerning the Justice Department's emerging tolerant approach to dispensaries in medical marijuana states. In the emails, we hear a mushroom trip report from Star and one from the Dopefiend himself, both of whom gives details of their first sunshine trips of 2009, including some talk of how the Iolite/I-Inhale Portable Vaporizer can enhance a psychedelic experience, then we get the definitive word on whether Kush strains are ever Sativas, we get recommendations for a Ron Paul vs Steven Baldwin cannabis debate video, and "Google Maps for Medical Marijuana dispensaries, and an update of Evil Swim Bunny's mum's cancer, before the Dopefiend samples some AK47 in his trusty Iolite/I-Inhale Portable Vaporizer while checking out the progress of his Salvia Divinorum plant and extolling the virtues of having one in your home, then reads an email from Pablo Rasta about his experience of how families deal with cannabis use in the wake of the Julie Myerson fiasco, and how his mum is even planning some springtime tripping herself! Following some talk about Pablo's persistent low-level psychedelic sensations and their possible cause, we have a Beatles-based musical interlude, then the Dopefiend talks about the difficulty of finding a new connection for ganja when you move to a new area, before a report from Deprived Patient about his use of Cannabis as a remedy for Crohn's Disease. In the Cannabis News, the Michigan student and cannabis activist shot by a cop with an itchy trigger finger, synthetic cannabis drug Sativex may become available for MS patients in the UK, a test case threatens the precarious legality of cannabis coffeeshops in Holland, Jersey becomes the latest country to ban Spice and other legal highs, and two stories of massive finds of abandoned sacks of primo bud on American soil.

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about this week's gathering of the UN's drug policy experts and their announcement that ten years of their Global War on Drugs has been no more than an abject failure on every level, and whether such an admission is perhaps more evidence of a changin' tide in terms of global drug policy. Hitting the emails, the Dopefiend discusses abstinence from Cannabis, vaping while skiing, facebook's closure of their Legalize Marijuana group, and why the only social network you need is our very own forum, the increasing problem of podcast overload, a home grow update from MTBSkaLover including some chat about the quality of LowRyder and caffeine and the hypocrisy of anti-cannabis coffee addicts, then heads into the VaporLounge to talk about the benefits of the new Magic Flight Launch Tube vaporizer, which allows you to take very quick, sneaky vape hits wherever you are, then loads his trial model up with some tasty New York City Diesel, then after addressing a question about Cannabis in Barcelona, and musing on magic mushrooms and the Tate Modern art gallery in London, the Dopefiend continues taking sneaky 15-second hits as we listen to a double-whammy musical interlude. Nicely Dieseled up, the Dopefiend talks about Rick Simpson who claims to have cured cancer with a Cannabis extract, we hear more testimonials from satsfied I-Inhale users, including a near miss story from Dr. Dank, the amazing health benefits of giving up smoking and switching to vapour and having to give up Cannabis to pass a drug test. In this week's Cannabis News, the over-zealous police officers who killed an innocent 92-year-old woman in an unwarranted drug raid pay the price for their actions, the number of so-called "Cannabis Factories" in the UK skyrockets, and HealthCanada get yet another wake-up call encouraging reform of the Medical Marijuana system in Canada.

On the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast this week, the Dopefiend kicks things off with the story of Novelist Julie Myerson, who unceremoniously ejected her teenage son from their family home because of his cannabis use, and is now cashing in by releasing a book about her "traumatic ordeal", and how anti-drug propaganda is destroying families. Hitting the emails, the Dopefiend talks about smoking in the snow, the importance of keeping your blood sugar up when hitting the vape hard, demonstrated by a couple of blackout stories, and the incredible Big Chill-related zombie news that came to light this week. Next we hear an in-depth I-Inhale review from forum regular SkullzFB, before some Volcano-related chat prompts the Dopefiend to head into the VaporLounge for a taste of some unnamed freshly harvested goodies (since revealed to be BumbleBud), and a listen of some homegrown tunes from listener Safron. Back to the emails, the Dopefiend wades through the piles of positive feedback for the I-Inhale portable vaporizer, the possibility of a Dopestock in 2010, the turning tide in support of legal cannabis and the benefits of vaporizers as an aid to stop smoking, before Forrest Gump rounds off the emails with an epic contribution, keeping us up to date with how his reduced rate of Cannabis use has made his life easier, also touching on skydiving, Pink Floyd, music festivals, travelling inEurope, energy drinks, Spice and the other cannabinoid-analogue legal highs, the I-Inhale and how it compares to the Volcano and cleaning when high. In the Cannabis News, Springfield, Massachusetts debates the possibility of an anti-cannabis smoking in public law, and why the dopetribe are one step ahead of them!, the Omaha stoner who stuffed his cat into a bong to calm it down, Canada launches an attempt to increase penalties for Cannabis production and distribution, the medical cannabis user whose children have been taken away and put in foster care because of their closet grow, New Hampshire could be the next state to decrimninalize Cannabis use in the USA, but Oregon Medical users' rights are at risk, the Mexican drug wars spill over into the southern United States, two Dutch border towns pledge to shut all their licensed Cannabis coffeeshops within six months, and the Swedish police pay compensation to a man whose pipe they broke when arresting him on suspicion of Cannabis use!

This week on the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about the San Francisco Assemblyman who's pushing for a legal and regulated market for cannabis in the state of California in a bid to rescue its ailing economy, leading to some analysis of American public opinion on legalizing cannabis, as well as the ever-increasing likelihood that an end to federal raids on medical cannabis dispensaries in the United States. Hitting the emails, first the Dopefiend addresses the subject of the numerous medical applications of cannabis, then returns to the subject of cannabis use when young, with a response from the listener who first raised the subject, CannabismalCalvin, and we get a first-time Salvia Divinorum trip report from Moon Pie Eye, prompting some discussion of the effects of using a vaporizer to administer Salvia. Opening a secret and seldom-used trapdoor in the back of the Dope Den, the Dopefiend heads down into the Dopecave for a chat with DopeTribe soldiers Son of Gonzo, Esse B and entheo-pundit Max Freakout and a taste of a smorgasbord of expertly grown London bud while covering such subjects as Dopestock, use of Cannabis as a creative or study aid, and the beauties of portable vaporizing. Back in the Dope Den, the Dopefiend talks about how to keep your weed fresh and dry and stop it rotting or going mouldy, why cannabis use is regarded as wrong by many when we have very similar chemicals in our systems already, whether a hardcore smoker will ever appreciate the highs of vaporizing, and the stealthy beauty of the I-Inhale portable vaporizer. In this week's Cannabis News, the UK grower whose youtube videos led police to his door, France becomes the third country to ban pseudo-weed Spice, and Fabolous gets busted with a tour bus full of ganja.

In this fortnight's installment of Psychonautica, Max Freakout plays a talk from the world psychedelic forum, by Allyson and Alex Grey, entitled 'psychedelic families, what do we tell the children?'. The Greys talk about children and entheogens, the american ideal 'happy family', the Osborne family, the problems of modern drug education and its mischaracterization of drugs and failure to distinguish use from abuse, the 'drugs are bad' mentality, the 'harm reduction' and 'reality based' approaches to drug education, the importance of listening to children, distinction between addictive drugs such as methamphetamine and non-addictive drugs, Western condemnation of psychedelic drugs, lack of a sacred context for entheogen use, ayahuasca rituals, the UDV, Bwiti Iboga ceremonies, entheogen initiations as a rite of passage, Huichol Peyote use, Alex and Allyson's own experiences bringing up their daughter Zena, taking time without taking any drugs - the 'altered state of sobriety', Terence Mckenna's recommendation to only have one child, taking drugs around children and comparisons of modern drug users to ancient Christians. Afterwards, Max Freakout reads out an email from Shroomatic about her experiences as an entheogen-using mother.

This Week on the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about the International Drugs Control Board's publication of their annual report on the international drug situation, which threw up some interesting statistics on the rise in Cannabis use among teenager in Britain, the plummetting price of Cocaine, the new trend in internet-based drug dealing, the return of Afghan herb to the market, the failure of the War on Colombian Cocaine, and the widely ignored but telling news that prescription drug abuse now outweighs use of Cocaine, Heroin, Hallucinogens, Ecstasy and inhalants. Turning to some feedback on the last couple of Dopecasts, the Dopefiend addresses the subjects of how to break into the Medical Marijuana Industry in the USA, Cannabis and Creativity, removing the early Dopecasts from circulation, more support for the I-Inhale and Professor David Nutt, some background info on the ACMD itself and how its members are appointed, and cheer at the return of Queerninja. Heading into the VaporLounge to conduct some careful examination of a morsel of street skunk, a chat about the preparations for this year's DopeStock in Amsterdam, and a perusal of an article from AlterNet about the five most over-rated legal highs. Following a musical interlude from Lily Allen, the Dopefiend hits an email from Forrest Gump singing the praises of his Volcano Digit, mentioning cooking with vapo-poop, leading to a quick vapo-poop cookery chat from the Dopefiend, asking how many bags of vapour get the Dopefiend high, and for advice about reducing your Cannabis intake, especially if it's making you antisocial. After a quick voicemail from Scott, the Dopefiend addresses a bumper pack of Cannabis News, starting with a report on last week's Latin America Commission on Drugs and Democracy, followed by news of fierce protests in Mexico following the deployment of the army to fight drug traffickers, 2 pot-growing firefighters are charged in one day with felony Cannabis production, publicity-hungry sheriff Leon Lott drops his case against bong-ripping olympian Michael Phelps, Americans for Safe Access put the pressure on the Obama Administration to stop persecuting landlords of cannabis dispensary buildings and also launch a suit against the DMV for singling out medical marijuana patients, the glimmer of hope in Barack Obama's appointment of the Seattle Police Chief as the new Drug Czar, and the British Cannabis convict who's electronic tag was fitted to his detachable false leg!

On the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast this week, Cannabis Commentator the Dopefiend takes an in-depth look at last week's report by the British Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs into the harms associated with Ecstasy or MDMA, and their chairman's assertion that taking it is no more dangerous than riding a horse, paying special attention to the hysterical fallout that ensued in the UK press and parliament. Following a message from sponsor Erica who's working on her own stealthy grow cabinet, the Dopefiend hits the emails, covering subjects as rich and diverse as whether the Dopefiend should remove the early episodes of the Dopecast from availability and the power of the DopeTribe, what the Dopefiend has against cocaine, the truth behind whether modern Cannabis is more potent than that of decades ago, how cannabis can counteract the pain and discomfort related to cataracts, the risks associated with using Cannabis in the American mid-west and how best to use your time to fight for the cause of legalization, before heading off for a stroll with his I-Inhale portable vaporizer while discussing the question of whether Cannabis increases creativity and the 10 most successful potheads, and pausing for a musical interlude from DopeTribe member Big--Dave. Back from his portable vaping mission, the Dopefiend turns to the debate on using Cannabis during youth, with some input from listeners, none of whom seem to have suffered ill effects from it, and some interesting input from Floydhead about knowing your own limits, as well as a first-time LSD trip report. Next, the Dopefiend hits more emails, covering bong rips on the can, the stoner arrested for dealing by his fiancee's cop father, the equipment used to produced the Dopecast, the neverending popularity of the I-Inhale and how to find work in the medical marijuana field in the US. In the Cannabis News, eight people are charged in connection with the Michael Phelps bong-picture party, a new study suggests use of Cannabis increases chances of developing testicular cancer, another teen stoner blows himself up while making hash oil, Washington DC could ban single cigars to prevent smoking of blunts, the 74-year-old milkman guilty of dealing Cannabis to his elderly customers, the tiny town which is the latest in America to allow residents to use medical marijuana, and the very special ninja-related news that has the DopeTribe very excited!

mail@dopefiend.co.uk — Mon, 9 Feb 2009 11:00:00 GMT

On this week's Dopecast, the Web's Favourite Cannabis Commentator, the Dopefiend rings the death knell for the War On Drugs following last week's White House statement that federal raids on America's legal medical cannabis dispensaries will end once President Obama re-staffs the DEA, and also draws attention to the often unpublicised right that jurors have to nullify a conviction because of their disagreement with a law, and its implications regarding cannabis law. Following a sobering message from sponsor Severus, who highlights the therapeutic benefits of psychedelic mushrooms at times of crisis, the Dopefiend hits the emails, starting with a couple on the subject of underage use of cannabis or psychedelics and whether there really are any risks associated with it, leading the Dopefiend to mention this week's BBC Horizon documentary on the possible dangers of cannabis use, and to talk about whether young minds can fully appreciate the depth of the psychedelic experience. Next, the Dopefiend heads into the VaporLounge to fire up his Volcano and taste some powerful Purple Kush and talk about last week's snowstorm in the UK and the ever-approaching Dopestock in Amsterdam this April before pausing for a bit of British rap. Back from the VaporLounge and sufficently kushed, the Dopefiend reads another positive I-Inhale review from Vigilante Juggernaut, Jerome emails from Australia with a smoke report of some killer California chronic he sampled on a recent trip and Chase drops in a voicemail to show off his own prime stash! In the Cannabis News this week, the fallout from Michael Phelps's bong-smoking pic continues, leading to comparisons with the story of Canadian stoner gold medalist Ross Rebagliati and chastisement from listener Josiah, the Dutch government encourages banks to accept cannabis cash, young people on both sides of the atlantic would rather chat online than use Cannabis, and finally, South Dakota's bid for legit medical cannabis fails, but medical cannabis providers in British Columbia succeed in having their restrictions lifted.

mail@dopefiend.co.uk — Mon, 2 Feb 2009 11:00:00 GMT

On the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast this week, the Dopefiend talks about the looming global recession and how the mighty panacaea Cannabis could be used to cure the planet's financial ills, especially following this week's announcement by the UN's drugs watchdog that only "drug money" could now protect some major banks, and how the ever-buoyant spending of stoners never buckles to the whims of the money markets. Hitting the emails, we hear from long-time listener MattyTHC, who gives praise for the recent Christmas Day dopecast, and tells why this Christmas was his best ever, including some talk of how easy it is to make friends in Amsterdam, especially at Dopestock! Matty also talks about the friendliness of the DopeTribe, leading to a brief chat about why our forum is so much more welcoming than many others. Next we hear from Liz, who treated her man Orangemonkey to a brand new I-Inhale portable vaporizer recently and tells how overjoyed they are having jumped fully on board the Vaporizer Revolution, prompting the Dopefiend to head into the VaporLounge to greet G13, who's packed his I-Inhale with some tasty Northern Lights and partakes in a few tokes and a chat about Dopestock and portable vaping before a musical interlude from the Cheebacabra. Back from the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend returns to the emails, starting with a question from Scott about the munchies and whether the particular strain of Cannabis you smoke awakens different munchie-based desires, leading to some talk about the therapeutic applications of the increased appetite caused by Cannabis use, the Dopefiend's favourite munchies, and how to deal with the munchies if you're watching your weight! Next we hear from 16-year-old Evan who asks whether he should follow his parents' advice and cut the Cannabis out of his young life, prompting some advice from the Dopefiend about the risks of Cannabis use when young, and his own chronology of Cannabis use. Next GrizzlyBear drops an email in singing the praises of the I-Inhale's stealthiness, describes how it compares to the Volcano, and lists the number of public places where he's sampled its goodness, finishing off with a concern about the fact that it uses butane. In this week's Cannabis News, there's another story of banks calling police because cash deposits smelled of ganja, the worrying precedent set by the US Supreme Court this week, which means that police now have the right to stop drivers regardless of any grounds but their own suspicion, the UK's leading expert on drug use shatters the myths about the health risks associated with Cannabis use, and a nurse who's daughter was killed by what the press called a "cannabis-crazed" lover backs Nutt's view, the booklet distributed by British schools which teach kids the best ways to use our secret sacrament, and even mention "less risky" vaporizers! Also in the Cannabis News, the new threat to growers posed by Google Earth, and the Medical Marijuana dispensaries stateside hold Barack Obama to his promise to end the raids!

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend marks today's reclassification of Cannabis in the UK to a Class B drug, meaning the return of 5-year prison sentences for users, and describes the many levels of confusion and con-artistry surrounding the British Government's flip-flopping on Cannabis, and why the news is both bad and good for the average stoner. Hitting the emails, we hear two contrasting Salvia trip-reports from Doperider and her husband, highlighting the importance of set and setting, and having an experienced, calm sitter, then as DopeRider has some questions about the Volcano, the Dopefiend sashays elegantly into the VaporLounge for a taste of some extremely fruity Sour Queen and a chat about the different Valve systems available for the Volcano and how it compares to the I-Inhale, as well as a mention for Dopestock, coming up in Amsterdam this April, before taking a trippy musical break courtesy of Zol. Back from the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend is on Cloud 9 thanks to the Sour Queen, and he hits an email from Adrian who's been enjoying the high from his Volcano and looking forward to the North Sea Jazz Festival this summer, before turning to this week's Cannabis News, which includes the news that Barack Obama has allowed the DEA to raid a Cannabis Dispensary in California despite his repeated promises to end such actions, the new German ban on "legal" but potentially dangerous smoking mix Spice, the increase in popularity of DMT, now also known as "businessman's LSD", the South African flight crew busted with over a hundred pounds of cannabis on arrival at London's Heathrow Airport, the crackdown on cannabis traffic between Mexico and San Diego, the baby who unwittingly grassed up its own cannabis-growing dad, and the lucky Texan who was misdelivered a 30-pund brick of sweet herb.

mail@dopefiend.co.uk — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 11:00:00 GMT

On the first Dopecast since the Dopefiend's Christmas break, the Web's Favourite Cannabis Commentator talks about the enduring myth that today's Cannabis is far more potent than that smoked by the Hippie Generation, what may have caused such an increase, if it is even present, and compares two contrasting studies from opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean into the potency of our sacrament. Next, the Dopefiend sends a special thanks out to the Chieftain of Chill and the many contributors to DopeTribe Dispatches who manned the fort during the holiday season, before hitting the emails, starting with one which tracks the evolution of the Dopecast before asking for more details on the revolutionary I-Inhale Portable Vaporizer. Hopping over onto the wireless, the Dopefiend demonstrates the beauty of portable vaporization by I-Inhaling some tasty Jack Herer from his vault while alerting the DopeTribe to the crusade of Pinky Starr, co-ordinator of this month's Legalization Protest in London, and also mentioning the new alternative forum for stranded members of the Everyone Does It forum, then addresses a particular listener's concerns about the Dopefiend's choice of music on the Dopecast, before disregarding them entirely and taking a hip-hoppin musical interlude. Considerably more stoned than before, the Dopefiend returns with a message of Christmas cheer from the Sixth Sin, then Zoze Pylon gives his personal review of the I-Inhale, comments on the possible future of Cannabis and Hemp under Barack Obama, and directs us to his extraordinary psychedelic animation, the DopeTribe hits Taiwan, DannyGreenFingers recommends the I-Inhale too, and ArcticVapors sings its stealthy praises. In the Cannabis News, Pipboy provides a round-up of the status quo regarding Cannabis law in Norway, the Massachussets police embrace their new decriminalized approach to cannabis use, but the DEA stymies plans to legally grow it there, Ohio joins the list of states banning ancient hallucinogen Salvia Divinorum, the worrying "Hitler Youth"-style trend of children being encouraged to inform on their cannabis-using parents by US school anti-drug programs, Barry Cooper's Kopbusters crusade marches on in a storm of controversy, exposing a judge's eagerness to issue a warrant based on flimsy evidence, another pro-legalization cop gets his job back and a stack of cash, British magistrates bellyache over the Government's new schizophrenic approach to cannabis, and finally The Great Tennessee Marijuana Cave.

In the incredible second episode of the brand new DopeTribe Dispatches, we hear first from lvxonyx about the origins of Christmas and its connections to the use of cannabis, followed by some of his very own "crazy computer noises", before the Podfather himself, the Psychedelic Salon's Lorenzo drops by with an immersive audio Christmas gift by William S Burroughs especially for the DopeTribe. In the second dispatch from the famous Black-Lit Attic, Cody presents his support of the podcasting world and his very own contribution, a conversation between Amazonian shamanism enthusiast Ayasmina and C-Realm supremo KMO, then Mountain-Biking Ska-Lover hosts a ten-minute segment in which he talks about the differences between the network's podcasters and their origins, his love of Mountain Biking and music, his favourite strains, and the other substances he's sampled, then he talks to his brother about his home grow and why he's chosen each strain, before setting about constructing a flowering room. Next, mistress of Marijuana Nico Vicious and resident roller Oz introduce their contribution to DopeTribe Dispatches from the Urban Smoker podcast, including Stoners Around The World, some great ideas for gifts for stoners, and a last burst of festive joy in the form of a very Christmassy story, and finally, Dr Purple relaxes and refreshes our minds and souls and prepares us to begin the New Year in a calm, positive frame of mind.

On this first ever outing of an extraordinary new podcast event for the Dopefiend.co.uk Podcast Network created entirely by the DopeTribe! On the first of two DopeTribe Dispatches shows to kick off 2009, we begin with Snakey and Jamin and a little something they call "Head For The Hills", featuring the story of their hunt of magic mushrooms, with audio highlights of the entire excapade including being caught in a tent in the pouring English rain, and the pair's musings on their impending shroom experience. Next, Big Dave and Dr Purple discuss meditation and the power of the mantra in particular, featuring some very interesting philosophical conversation encompassing Tibetan and buuddhist spirituality. Then Sancho of Black Light In The Attic fame drops in a little audio treat, telling a couple of stories of his experiences with the DopeTribe's favourite secret sacrament, inlcuding the story of the first time he ever got stoned, and one which perfectly demonstrates the psychedelic power of Cannabis, and finishing up with some dubious health advice for thos who've embraced the Vaporizer Revolution! The Austin Wolf drops in from Texas with the sotry of how he encountered the DoOpefiend.co.uk Podcast Network, some awesome pot poetry, and the top ten reasons why he loves the Dopecast! Finally we hear from Eb, who tells a story with a moral dimension and a positive stoner message for the Tribe. Don't miss next week's installment with more from the DopeTribe!

DopecastChristmas2008

mail@dopefiend.co.uk — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 06:00:00 GMT

On this year's special Christmas Day Dopecast, the Dopefiend is in a fiendishly festive mood as he settles down to a serious Christmas morning vape session, starting things off with an I-Inhale packed with New York City Diesel and a chat about what makes this time of year so stoner-friendly, especially with the added bonus of portable vaping this year, how some stoners are explaining away their I-Inhales to confused onlookers, then following a communal moment of celebration for all portable vape-fiends, the Dopefiend hits the emails, starting with a message of festive harvest cheer from long-time listener Podders who's just experienced the benefits of a Volcano for the first time, prompting the Dopefiend to hit the Volcano with some fresh Arjan's Haze, before answering a commmon question posed by Tosha about the best way to begin your psychedelic adventures and whether Salvia Divinorum or Magic Mushrooms are the best introduction, then talks about the strange view of cannabis and cannabis users held by some of the uninitiated. Raising a bag of vape in salute, the Dopefiend goes on to send out a special message to our very own Man With the Velvet Voicebox, Lefty, who's shortly to return with his special brand of music, comedy and chat on the Dopefiend.co.uk Podcast Network, then Floydhead emails with some gripes about his experience with the I-Inhale, with which he's been unable to have much success, and an appeal for some music of the Dopefiend's own choosing, to which the Dopefiend responds with some fresh Sour Diesel vapour and an extra special musical interlude from Sufjan Stevens. Back with a bagful of AK47 vapour, the Dopefiend responds to an email from Scott and talks about the "Gateway Theory": the misguided belief that use of Cannabis is the first step down a slippery slope of hard drug abuse, whether there's any truth to it, and how best to overcome it, then Hemphugger sends in a very fitting story celebrating the season of goodwill, prompting a celebratory I-Inhale packed with strong flavoursome Brainstorm. Ronan sends Christmas Greetings, then Jabba the Blunt raises the likelihood of legalization at some point in the future, and the ignorance that holds it back, including the bad press that Salvia Divinorum has recently inspired, ; leading to some talk about why Cannabis and other natural entheogens are reviled while other modes of consciousness expansion aren't. Finally, the Dopefiend loads up the Volcano with a cocktail of moroccan hash and Aunt Bessie while discussing Barack Obama's recent response to a flood of pro-legalization activists asking for clarification on his position on Cannabis, and whether it's a sign that there's not much change in the works for us stoners. Don't miss Monday's special extra helping of Queerninja, then two incredible coollections of DopeTribe Dispatches on the following two Mondays, before the Dopefiend returns to the Dopecast on January 19th. Email mail@dopefiend.co.uk now to get your comments, questions and suggestions on the first Dopecast of the New Year, send us a voicemail and drop by our Skype Virtual VaporLounge, and check out the forum.

In this festive season episode of psychonautica, Max Freakout plays the second part of a 2-part talk by Daniel Pinchbeck from the world psychedelic forum called 'the future of psychedelics'. This is a question and answer session in which Pinchbeck talks about gnosticism and mystery religions, UFOs and crop circles, scepticism and secular materialism, non-human entities encountered in psychedelic trips, the idea of time speeding up towards 2012, Socrates' wisdom and ancient Greek epistemology, the possible input of psychedelic plants to human evolution, the importance of making bold theories and of demanding the impossible, the meaning of the 2012 prophecy, the possibility of major global transformation and deepening awareness, and the idea that time travel might make calenders become obsolete.

On this special Third Anniversary Episode of the Dopecast, the Dopefiend takes a trip down memory lane, looking at what made 2008 the Dopecast's biggest year ever and the many gatherings of the DopeTribe that have made it so special, makes a very special announcement concerning our ever-increasing listenership, then hits the emails, beginning with one from Fr00tbat about how the power of his brand new I-Inhale portable Vaporizer knocked him sideways and forced an early retreat from work, and how he covered for his odd behaviour, then we hear some further information on auto-flowering strains before the subject of Dopestock 2009 is raised by Im4Cannabis and Captain Tok, prompting the Dopefiend to fire up his I-Inhale and officially open the preparations for our annual celebration of all things Cannabis while tasting some fresh UK-grown herb before a super-chilled homegrown musical interlude provided by Hey Negrita. The Dopefiend returns with some information concerning an impending price increase on the I-Inhale and why it's happening, then BrixTroll emails with an extraordinary story about how his stoned state almost left him plastered all over the snow-covered streets of Norway, then roarcorp drops in a voicemail praising both the Dopefiend Network and the Easy Star All-Stars, then Shoki describes a recent weed-induced panic attack in vivid detail, leading the Dopefiend to explain how he deals with feelings of anxiety on various substances, then Bronze Apprentice raises the subject of how a closer relationship with Cannabis has turned him into a hippie! In the Cannabis News, former drug warrior Barry Cooper's new TV show in which he spies on unscrupulous cops conducting raids on a mocked-up Cannabis factory, Michigan passes legal medical marijuana, but patients are still in limbo until the details are finalized, the Cannabis Tribunal in The Hague decides that legalization is the only sensible option, and Amsterdam's mayor Job Cohen pushes for a legal supply of Cannabis for Holland's coffeeshops. Don't forget to join the Dopefiend on Christmas Day, and get your festive messages in now!

mail@dopefiend.co.uk — Mon, 8 Dec 2008 11:00:00 GMT

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, an under-the-weather Dopefiend talks about the US Supreme Court's decision to uphold last year's ruling that the local police in California and other medical marijuana states are not obliged to help fight the DEA's war on Cannabis, and why it's one step close to a congruent and pragmatic federal approach to medical marijuana, especially with some law enforcement officers advocating full legalization as a remedy for the global financial crisis. Hitting the emails, the Dopefiend reads a message from show sponsor G13 about his embracement of the Vaporizer Revolution, stealthgrow sets us straight about the safety and speed of hash oil extraction using butane, John emails about the truth behind the War on Drugs and tells an extraordinary story about his own suffering at the hands of the outdated drug laws, then Truthmissile alerts us to the work of Professor Juan Cole who exposes how how fixed sentences for cannabis posession have directly contributed to America's financial problems, C-Dub informs us about his endeavours to educate the masses about cannabis, and Brad tells of his dealers who tried to supplement their income by robbing a bank, and long time listener to the Dopecast Gouranga Jimmy drops by to tell us about his podcast before the Dopefiend fires up his I-Inhale and reclines on the Big Green Couch for a bit of herbal respite and a chat about the cold-curing properties of cannabis and how the I-Inhale is going to change the traditional Christmas Day reefer break for a lot of stoners, leading to the story of how its potent vapour led to more than he bargained for at the UK Hemp Expo. Following a musical interlude by the Sloppy Jacksons, the Dopefiend further extends the deadline for DopeTribe Dispatches in an effort to get more of your 10-minute audio nuggets in time for Christmas, then reads an email from the Spanish American about his enjoyment of home growing over in Spain and how the relaxed attitude to cannabis over there contrasts with the laws of the USA, taking us through the success of his recent harvests and talking about his success with auto-flowering strains. Then the Dopefiend celebrates catching up with the email backlog by calling for new emails from all the DopeTribe listeners, and polishes off the pile with a message from Seattle Stoner. In the Cannabis News this week, the Dutch ban on magic mushrooms passes, but it won't stop hardcore psychonauts from exploring altered states, Switzerland decides against decriminalizing cannabis despite the pleas of youth advocacy groups, and the oldest evidence of human use of cannabis is found in China. The email pile is gone, so get your comments, questions and suggestions on next week's show!

mail@dopefiend.co.uk — Mon, 1 Dec 2008 11:00:00 GMT

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about the British Government's decision to ignore the advice of its most esteemed scientists and experts and push through their headline-grabbing reclassification of Cannabis as a Class B drug, paying special attention to the response of one of the leading opposing voices, that of Liberal Democrat MP Dr Evan Harris who gathered together an impressive roster of signatories to a letter in a failed last-ditch attempt to halt the U-turn, and one of the loudest, if least informed voices supporting it, that of Dopecast favourite Debra Bell of Talking About Cannabis. Hitting the emails, the Dopefiend answers a common question about how best to embark upon psychedelic adventuring for the first time, and talks about the dangers of low blood sugar coupled with cannabis use, the far greater dangers of driving under its influence, then answers some questions relating to the incredible I-Inhale portable vaporizer before going for a stroll with his very own I-Inhale in order to test out its suitability for vaporizing hash, meanwhile reminding listeners of the opportunity to submit their own audio for our Christmas specials. After a musical interlude created by Wegface, the Dopefiend returns to talk further about whether the fears about using silicone tubing with direct-draw vaporizers is justified, then there's some talk about the anti-bacterial properties of Cannabis, Chuck Reno drops a voicemail about smoking blunts, there's more about the value of the sticky residue left on some vaporizers, then, in the Cannabis News, further evidence that Canada's liberal attitudes towards cannabis are under threat as the Kindred Cafe is the latest to be hit in a series of raids, why cannabis is good for your brain, and how it's been found to block certain types of pain, the British MP determined to toughen up laws surrounding paraphernalia and seed sale here in the UK, why 43 Amsterdam coffeeshops are to close, the 79-year-old tomato grower harrassed and intimidated by over-zealous police who thought she was operating a cannabis factory, and the results are in from this year's Cannabis Cup!

Dopecast152: LIVE from the UK Hemp Expo 2008!

mail@dopefiend.co.uk — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 11:00:00 GMT

On this week's extra special episode of the Dopecast live from last weekend's UK Hemp Expo in London, the Dopefiend enjoys a rare opportunity to experience total Cannabis freedom in the center of London and samples the delights of the UK Hemp Expo, joined by such DopeTribe regulars as Jay K, Floydhead, Max Freakout, to talk about a wide range of subjects including the Hemp Expo itself, the revolutionary Iolite/I-Inhale and how it's changing the Cannabis Community, how a major psychedelic experience can hamper one's ability to enjoy the pleasure of Cannabis, the benefits and limitations of auto-flowering strains such as Lowryder, whether or not Cannabis could provide a much needed boost to the global economy if legalized, and whether governments would ever recognize that possibility, the increasing clampdown on the Cannabis scene in Amsterdam and whether it'll ever conquer the public desire for legal ganja, and the coming ban on magic mushrooms in Amsterdam and how headshops will respond to it. Next, the Dopefiend heads over the the I-Inhale stand for a chat with Peter, the man behind it's creation and development about how it came to be and its success since its release, then forum member and grower slowme rocks up with his brand new Iolite/i-inhale and some of his own home grown jack herer to talk about what led him to become a grower, then London based stoner esse b drops in for a chat about his weekend at the Expo. Following a musical interlude, Herodian and Hash Whisperer swing by the DopeTribe corner for a taste of some G-Bomb vapour and a chat about the way different temperatures of vaporization can affect the type of high you get from your favourite strain. Next the Dopefiend heads over to the Seedsman stand for a chat with Dopecast regular Tom from Seedsman for a chat about the seed industry in the UK in general and whether there are moves afoot to restrict seed sale, whether the increasing legitimization of the medical marijuana scene in the United States at the state level is having an impact on the seed business. Next, the Dopefiend chats to this week's sponsor JonnyB, Hash Whisperer, and Dopecast regular Floydhead about their experience of the UK Hemp Expo and the likelihood of a seed sale ban arriving on British shores, as well as the approaching Dutch ban on mushrooms, then he has a chat with cartoonist and former Disney animator Jason Wilson, the creator of the comic serial Smuggling Vacation before closing the day's festivities by chatting to Dopefiend Network Podcasters Max Freakout and Pothead, who's laden with shopping bags full of goodies, and forum regular MycoPhile about their enjoyment of the UK Hemp Expo, before heading home after a long and very stoned weekend!

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend re-visits the subject of Cannabis Psychosis: is it a manufactured myth propagated by the world's anti-drug governments, or is there a real threat to a percentage of the stoner population? The Dopefiend takes a detailed look at the first in-depth study into how episodes of so-called "Cannabis-Induced Psychosis" affect one's likelihood of developing schizophrenia in later life. Before hitting the emails, the Dopefiend reads a message from show sponsor Punkdudeus who's overjoyed with his purchase of a brand new Volcano Vaporizer, then there's discussion about the best way to make hash, the joys of California's medical marijuana laws, the legal situation regarding Cannabis in Ireland, and some assorted chat regarding the I-Inhale, including the safety of silicone tubing when used with vaporizers, and an independent review from satisfied customer Kennibis. Then the Dopefiend, prompted by such listener feedback, fires up his own I-Inhale and goes walkabout for a chat about the success of the I-Inhale and this weekend's UK Hemp Expo, before pausing for another homegrown musical interlude. Red-eyed and rested, the Dopefiend returns to the emails, starting with one from Irish listener DD who looks back over the past hundred and fifty Dopecast epsiodes, before HempHugger send greetings from British Columbia and some questions concerning the viability of auto-flowering strains like Lowryder and whether the psychedelic highs of pure sativas have been consigned to history. Podders emails form Spain with feedback on last week's talk about Cannabis-infused liquor and a recommendation for EricTheRuler's youtube cannabis cookery guides, then Rodders chips in with a question regarding whether the habit of rolling joints with tobacco in Europe is making the fight for truth about Cannabis all the harder. This leads nicely into the Cannabis News, starting with the results of the recent study into European drug habits by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, which suggests that many youngsters are turning down spliffs because of the dangers of tobacco smoking, then two contrasting stories about whether Amsterdam's Coffeeshops will weather the storm of government opposition to Holland's lenient approach to Cannabis, and whether the global financial crisis is actually a good thing for the marijuana market, and also news on how the dutch ban on magic mushrooms is inching ever closer, with a date now set at December 1st, and finally the Bolivian president and his bold stance against the DEA and the War on Drugs.

On the Hundred-and-Fiftieth episode of the Dopecast, the Web's Favourite Cannabis Commentator, the Dopefiend, reminds US listeners not to allow the new President elect to rest on his laurels, talks about why the past week's US Election was good for American Cannabis users, with the news that nine out of ten marijuana-related ballot initiatives were passed, then reads a couple of stories about weed-laced booze and Cannabis cookery from show sponsor Filepae. Hitting the emails, there's some debate on the state of Florida's weed, and a recommendation for a Minneapolis glass pipe store, then psychedelic podfather Lorenzo sends some love, after which the Dopefiend again goes walkabout with some Jack Herer in his I-Inhale Portable Vaporizer, taking the opportunity to remind listeners about their opportunity to showcase their creative talents by producing a DopeTribe Dispatch for our Christmas shows, then chats about how he spent election night and his thoughts on Obama's success, before pausing for a musical interlude from listener Calimera and his band Gettysburg. Back from his wanderings, the Dopefiend, nicely lifted by the Jack Herer vapour, reads an email from Danger Brother who finds good old fashioned Cannabis helps his anxiety more than side-effect ridden pharmaceuticals, and muses on whether a more socialized US healthcare system under President Obama may result in a more pragmatic approach to medical marijuana, then Seattle Stoner sings the praises of the Volcano Vaporizer and asks whether the dust that gathers inside the Volcano base is a cause for concern, then, after a voicemail from see.i.lazy about his first experiences with a vaporizer, albeit a very cheap one, Anonymous American emails about our recent problems accepting donations, and tells about the dark, sticky Hash Plant he's been smoking. Back by popular demand, the great Druidude gives his take on the continued failure of Britain's drug policy and why it is that the debate over legalization is creeping ever closer to the seat of power, the way those called for jury service in the UK can articulate their opposition to the drug laws, and finally, gives his commentary on the successful vote for decriminalization of Cannabis in Massachussets. In the rest of this week's Cannabis News, the mainstream press follows the Dopecast's recent coverage of the Japanese Cannabis situation, a warning of Cannabis adulterated with crack cocaine in North London, the most recent raid on the Cannabis CafÃ in Lancing in the south of England yields a ban from the premises for four of its staff, the British tabloid press tries to start a frenzy over legal seed sales in the UK and fails, and former singer and British TV institution Cilla Black's revelation that ganja cured her jet-lag at age 61!

On the last episode of the Dopecast before the US Presidential Election, the Web's Favourite Cannabis Commentator, the Dopefiend, takes a closer look at the two main candidates and their proposed policies and commentary records concerning Cannabis law in America, examining their histories with Cannabis, then, taking into account the numerous alternative choices on the ballott, announces who he believes is the only choice for American stoners, then reads an email from Shaun about Libertarian candidate Bob Barr, his move to remove McCain and Obama from the ballot, and his prospects for November 4th. Political business dealt with, the Dopefiend returns to last week's subject of the I-Inhale vaporizer and how it's held up to another week's regular use, the listener reaction to last week's review, and the debate on our forum about what the Dopefiend calls "undoubtedly the world's best portable vaporizer". Firing up the I-Inhale, the Dopefiend switches to wireless and vapes some rich Kahuna while wandering around the Dope Den unrestrained by power cables, first paying a visit to his thriving Salvia Divinorum plant, before heading out to the crisp coldness of the Dope Den garden while talking about how much herb the unit holds and how long a full herb chamber keep giving vapour, whether it should have a carb hole to allow easier drawing, or a silicone tube for hands-free vaping, including a warning about carcinogens given off by some types of silicone tubing, possibly a reason to avoid some of the currently available I-Inhale "Comfort Packs" assembled by American retailers, which include tubes that may not have been thoroughly tested. After a musical interlude from Dopecast listener Jamin, the Dopefiend returns significantly stoned, announces the re-opening of donations to the Dopefiend.co.uk Podcast Nework, and reminds listeners that they can display their creativity by putting together some audio for our Christmas specials or showcasing their music collection on Pothead's Coffeeshop, then hits the emails, starting with more on this week's US Elections and a very important vote taking place in Massachussets, responds to a voicemail question from Chuck Reno about whether the threat from grit weed is still strong, explains why there are usually at least 2 deaths attributed to Cannabis in any given year even though it's almost impossible to overdose, then we hear from TheGreenMan, who fears that this week's US vote will come in far closer than the polls suggest, and also asks about the difference between Sativa and Indica, and for news on our occasional correspondent Druidude. In this week's Cannabis News, Lala K kicks things off with a comparison between the penalties for Cannabis growing and dangerous crimes like drunk driving, the Oregon anti-drug campaigners pushing to shut down their decade-old medical marijuana law, the Dutch border municipalities trying to discourage Cannabis tourism by pushing for leniency on soft-drugs in neighbouring countries, Canadian medical marijuana patients get the right to choose who produces their medicine, the bizarre new adulterant being added to Cannabis is the Netherlands, the new service for parents who wish to alienate their children and abuse their human rights, the smuggler who hid his cargo inside rope, and White House Drug Czar John Walter comes out in favour of decriminalization!
