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!

Its a little bit over a foot long and took me approximately 6-8 hours on and off over the course of 4 days. Its a stemless bubbler too... I thought it was so fine, i decided to keep it for myself!" .
