On the first of our incredible episodes of the Web's Favourite
Cannabis Podcast LIVE from Amsterdam, the Dopefiend welcomes the
DopeTribe to the capital city of cannabis by inviting them on board
the famous cannabis canal cruise, an exclusive experience on a
privately-chartered luxury vessel through the canals of Amsterdam,
billowing thick smoke clouds as she goes! First, the Dopefiend is
accosted by Delta-9 Labs' Ed Borg who gets the party started by
thrusting a water pipe loaded with a knockout combination of
Brainstorm Haze budder, Simpson Kush dry-sieve and bubblehash,
which almost brings an end to the Dopecast immediately by stripping
the lining from the Dopefiend's vocal chords! Thankfully the
Dopefiend is able to fight through the pain and the coughs and talk
to Scoobysnakks, SGawain and long-time Dopecast contributor
Christine about how their Dopestock experience is going so far
before talking to Christine about how the scene in Amsterdam
compares to the medical marijuana movement in her native Oregon,
and getting her thoughts on the proposed ban on cannabis tourism in
the Netherlands, due to come into being later this year. Next, the
Dopefiend heads over to Komrade Komura who is also suffering from
the effects of Ed Borg's monster salad, and who talks about how
Amsterdam has changed since he was last here, and why he's stayed
away from psychedelics for so long. Next, the Dopefiend heads over
to talk to DopeTribe newcomer Eyeway, who talks about the
experience of being part of a huge DopeTribe army in Amsterdam, and
to Hazy Jay, who made it a personal mission to make it to Dopestock
when he heard that this year's was likely to be the last, and then
Scoobysnakks talks about the incredible Dopestock pre-party at the
Greenhouse Lounge, which brought many DopeTribers together for the
first time, before Kush King tells the story of how he almost
missed the canal cruise, and how he's been filming many episodes
for his video podcast Rollin' with Kush King. Next, the Dopefiend
talks to Puurke about his first Dopestock experience, whether the
4/20 protest will have any effect on the government's plans, and
what the legal status of cannabis is in his native Belgium. Next,
the Dopefiend passes DopeTribe mainstays Pothead from Pothead's
Coffeeshop and SGawain before sitting down next to BB who is also
podcasting live from the Canal Cruise, and who is thoroughly
enjoying trying out Pecos the Cat's Arizer Solo packed with fresh
fruity Cannasutra from Delta-9 Labs. The two cannabis podcasting
greats discuss how Amsterdam and the DopeTribe have both grown
since the last time they were together, whether BB's Bungalow or
the Dopecast will ever come to an end, and what form that end will
eventually take. Heading inside the boat, the Dopefiend bumps into
Ed Borg who is still administering monster hits from his bubbler to
any DopeTriber willing to take a hit, and who also talks about the
last year's developments at Delta-9 Labs, whether cannabis tourism
will ever be banned in Amsterdam, and how Ed plans to get around
it, and his experience of the police raid on last year's High Times
Cannabis Cup. The Dopefiend turns to Dex420 who managed to snag a
last minute space on the Cannabis Canal Cruise, before sidling up
to Swedish DopeTribers Bagler, ZyBear and Sanka, who all talk about
the situaton in Sweden regarding cannabis law. Next the Dopefiend
talks to the Green Lady who is concerned about police action at the
4/20 smokeout, before talking to Japanese DopeTriber Hopot, who
made his Dopestock Debut last year, about being back in Amsterdam,
and also chatting to Scottobaggins about the gourmet strains that
he's been sampling while in Amsterdam, briefly interrupted by a
strange psychedelic tunnel experience featuring TeenagePie. Next
the Dopefiend talks to Scragtag about his first day in Amsterdam
this year, before Esse B rocks up in a state of extreme stoneage.
Next, the Dopefiend talks to recent DopeTribe recruit Weeshug about
his time with the DopeTribe and how the tolerance to cannabis use
in Amsterdam has been changing in the years since he first came to
Amsterdam, before turning to J. Dank, Dr Dank, Oleg and
Davelisterscrak who are collaborating on a monster joint. J. Dank
tells what life is like as an American stoner living in Moscow, and
Dr Dank gives his view, as a resident of Germany, on the proposed
ban on cannabis tourism in Amsterdam. Next the Dopefiend turns to a
croaky Glastomongrel, who is struggling to keep his voice in the
face of such extreme stoneage, before heading over to printer
pioneer Tim Prince who tells how he has become fully enmeshed in
the DopeTribe over the last year, and of his plans for the 4/20
protest. Next, Mrs. Mole talks about her DopeStock experience, and
explains how she is being challenged to come up with more than
eighteen uses for an elastic band, Nexus from Shroom with a View
gives his thoughts about the proposed ban on cannabis tourism, and
Dopestock veteran Jay K tells why he feels Amsterdam is cleaner and
friendlier than before, and gives his vote for the Green Place's
Pineapple Kush as an early favourite for the DopeStock Cup. A shock
announcement that Mrs Mole has discovered a ninth use for an
elastic band brings the Dopefiend back towards Mrs Mole, and leads
him to seek TeenagePie's feelings about this DopeStock being the
last, and the absence of the Gremlin of Ganja. While on the subject
of absent friends, the Dopefiend turns to Esse B who is signing a
card for IoliteKnight who sadly couldn't make it either, and who
talks about the intensity of Ed Borg's oil. Finally the Dopefiend
chats to Pecos the Cat, thclee, Nez and Taozer who are all making
return visits to Amsterdam for Dopestock, and who are extolling the
virtues of renting their own apartment with a group of fellow
tribers. Email mail@dopefiend.co.uk, send us a
