This Week on the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about the International Drugs Control Board's publication of their annual report on the international drug situation, which threw up some interesting statistics on the rise in Cannabis use among teenager in Britain, the plummetting price of Cocaine, the new trend in internet-based drug dealing, the return of Afghan herb to the market, the failure of the War on Colombian Cocaine, and the widely ignored but telling news that prescription drug abuse now outweighs use of Cocaine, Heroin, Hallucinogens, Ecstasy and inhalants. Turning to some feedback on the last couple of Dopecasts, the Dopefiend addresses the subjects of how to break into the Medical Marijuana Industry in the USA, Cannabis and Creativity, removing the early Dopecasts from circulation, more support for the I-Inhale and Professor David Nutt, some background info on the ACMD itself and how its members are appointed, and cheer at the return of Queerninja. Heading into the VaporLounge to conduct some careful examination of a morsel of street skunk, a chat about the preparations for this year's DopeStock in Amsterdam, and a perusal of an article from AlterNet about the five most over-rated legal highs. Following a musical interlude from Lily Allen, the Dopefiend hits an email from Forrest Gump singing the praises of his Volcano Digit, mentioning cooking with vapo-poop, leading to a quick vapo-poop cookery chat from the Dopefiend, asking how many bags of vapour get the Dopefiend high, and for advice about reducing your Cannabis intake, especially if it's making you antisocial. After a quick voicemail from Scott, the Dopefiend addresses a bumper pack of Cannabis News, starting with a report on last week's Latin America Commission on Drugs and Democracy, followed by news of fierce protests in Mexico following the deployment of the army to fight drug traffickers, 2 pot-growing firefighters are charged in one day with felony Cannabis production, publicity-hungry sheriff Leon Lott drops his case against bong-ripping olympian Michael Phelps, Americans for Safe Access put the pressure on the Obama Administration to stop persecuting landlords of cannabis dispensary buildings and also launch a suit against the DMV for singling out medical marijuana patients, the glimmer of hope in Barack Obama's appointment of the Seattle Police Chief as the new Drug Czar, and the British Cannabis convict who's electronic tag was fitted to his detachable false leg!
