On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend goes through what NORML's "Radical" Russ Belville thinks are the 10 most important reasons for the failure of Proposition 19, and what needs to be done to ensure that legalization passes next time around. Next, the Dopefiend joins birthday boy Esse B, Gremlin of Ganja G13, and Flick for birthday tokes and talk of Esse's recent recovery, twitter, and how Christmas is going to be celebrated in the DopeTribe. Following a musical interlude and talk of whether cannabis is any different from any number of consciouness-altering experiences from Mr Lizard, the Dopefiend turns to the emails and talk of Danish Freetown Christiania, and abstention-related depression. In this week's Cannabis News: Arizona becomes the 15th state to approve medical marijuana, pot protesters set off a "cannabis bomb" at a police station in New Zealand, a MMJ patient takes his fight to the courts in Michigan, Britain's biggest cannabis farm is discovered by police, the scratch-and-sniff cards used by Dutch authorities to root out illegal grows, and the street-artist who sparked up in the Houses of Parliament.
