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. Email
