This week's very special episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis
Podcast comes live from the stunning surroundings of the brand new
Hemp Museum Gallery in the beautiful city of Barcelona in Spain,
the launch of which is the latest event in the blossoming of this
incredible historic, artistic and freedom loving city into a new
European capital of cannabis culture. The Dopefiend is first joined
by the spokesperson for the Hemp Museum Gallery, Angela Ayala
Segura, who talks about her involvement with the museum, why its
patron and sponsor, the cannabis entrepreneur Ben Dronkers, has
chosen to partner his Amsterdam museum with this sumptuous new
location, how he intends to use it to spread the truth about the
unjust prohibition of cannabis, and how it is already succeeding in
doing this. Angela also talks about this year's Cannabis Culture
Awards, which were held at the Barcelona museum, and which
celebrated the achievements of the Global Commission on Drug
Policy. Next, the Dopefiend talks to Elisabeth Mehl & Line Sòrlie,
two of the managers from the Resin Club and cannabis Association in
Barcelona, who talk about the growing Cannabis Social Club scene in
Spain, how both medical and recreational cannabis users who want
safe access to cannabis can avail themselves of this system, how
its careful regulation and the strong support it offers its members
puts the Netherlands' system to shame and what it means for
cannabis tourism in Spain. The Dopefiend is also told what a
Spanish Cannabis Club actually looks like, and gets to take a close
look at the quality of the cannabis on offer there, including a
high-CBD strain, Cannatonic, which leads to some discussion of the
value of high-CBD strains, and how a regulated system allows such
innovations to flourish. Next, after sampling some of the Resin
Club's Cannatonic in his Arizer Solo vaporizer, the Dopefiend talks
to another major figure in the development of the cannabis scene in
Spain, lawyer Oriol Casals, who legally represents most of Spain's
Cannabis Clubs, and is also behind a proposition by the mayor of
the Spanish town of Rasquera, who is proposing to pay his town's
defecit by growing cannabis. Oriol talks about his argument that
use of cannabis, like any substance, is a basic individual human
right, and is therefore ultimately legal, how the authorities are
responding to the Cannabis Club movements, and also gives the
latest information on his involvement in the case involving
potential legalisation of cannabis in Rasquera, why he feels it is
less about dealing with the town's deficit and more about creating
efficiency and self-sufficiency. Finally Oriol talks about whether
he thinks the Rasquera project and the Spanish Cannabis Club
movement will eventually have an effect on the actual written law
regarding cannabis in Spain. Email mail@dopefiend.co.uk, send us a
