On this year's much anticipated return of the Twelve Strains of
Christmas, we join the Dopefiend together with the Gremlin of
Ganja, Cheezetheday, Blank Steve, Max Freakout, Squidgy Sid, The
Toker, Scottobaggins and Green Lady as they get stuck into an
incredible range of festive varieties of gourmet ganja, kicking
things off with one of eight strains submitted by DopeCave Cup 2011
winner Yosser Hughes, Pink Rhino, which goes down beautifully in
the brand new Cloud Vaporizer. Taking a look back over the last
twelve months in the Dopefiend.co.uk universe, the Dopefiend and
gathered tribers discuss the ongoing saga of Floydhead, who has
sworn off all drugs, before firing up the WISPR portable vaporizer
with some of Blank Steve's famed Iced Grapefruit, and going on to
talk about using cannabis as a remedy for insomnia, the incredible
stunt pulled by the Gremlin of Ganja in the run-up to his big
reveal at Dopestock, and the DopeTribe's love of Volcano Bag Hot
Chocolate. Tucking into some of Yosser Hughes's Royal Haze in the
Cloud vaporizer, the Dopefiend welcomes The Toker into the
Christmas Day festivities, before giving a special mention to the
introduction of DopeTribe Live to the network by Scoobysnakks.
After a quick chat about this year's launch of the Global Commision
on Drug Policy and whether it will actually result in any tangible
changes in drug policy, leading to a mention for the TV series Weed
Wars, the Dopefiend passes some fresh Sour Kush to the Gremlin of
Ganja, almost decking him, and also fires up some Chinese Cheese in
the Volcano Digit and some Pink Diesel "Dry Parsley" in the WISPR.
Next, the DopeTribe talk about how difficult it is to buy bulk
amounts of cannabis in the UK, but how good value deals are still
to be found if you look hard enough, before adding a bit of Blank
Steve's Northern Lights into the mix and going on to talk about how
this year saw the transition from the Legalise Cannabis Alliance to
CLEAR in the UK legalisation movement. Following a festive musical
interlude, the Dopefiend loads up the WISPR with AK47 and the Cloud
with some Shark No.2, before dispatching The Toker to load up the
Volcano with some Pink Diesel "Fruity" and talking about how this
year saw the Obama administration's U-Turn concerning medical
dispensaries in California, and also how similar moves seem afoot
in the Netherlands, to which Cheezetheday testifies, prompting Max
Freakout to talk about how the Netherlands has always been home to
an internal conflict concerning their liberal approach to drugs.
Loading the DopeCave Cup winner Yosser Hughes' Cheese into The
Cloud vaporizer, the DopeTribe reminisce about the DopeCave Cup
itself, and this year's launch of the WISPR vaporizer which quickly
became a firm favourite among fans of portable vaporization, before
welcoming Scottobaggins and Green Lady and their White Rhino into
the Dope Den for some Christmas Day stoning, both of whom love the
Cloud vaporizer, but also showcase their own Silver Surfer by
loading it up with some White Rhino. Now considerably stoned, but
holding up well, the gathered DopeTribers discuss the recent
announcement by the Dutch government that they intend to ban
high-strength cannabis from sale in coffeeshops and the new trend
of middle-class homeowners leasing out rooms to cannabis grow
operations. Finally, after revisiting the subject of how cannabis
use affects dreaming and The Toker's theory about how dream
inhibition could be the cause of cannabis-related psychosis, the
Dopefiend talks with Cheezetheday, Max Freakout and Blank Steve
about the recent arrival of the Cloud Vaporizer at the Dope Den,
and then goes on to take a hit of the twelfth strain on the menu
today, the White Rhino using the Silver Surfer before recapping
this year's Twelve Strains of Christmas, the gathered DopeTribers
head off to their respective families for an enormous Christmas
