On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about the latest report from the British think-tank the Centre for Policy Studies, entitled "The Phoney War on Drugs", and how it's yet another suggestion of the popularity and effectiveness of a more pragmatic approach to the global drug problem, and further evidence that the War on Drugs continues to be a failure on almost every front. Hitting the emails, the Dopefiend first talks about how his Dopefiend.co.uk wristband and hemp shoes could result in prejudice from anti-drug folk who happen to notice them, then moves on to discuss the dangers of tripping in open water, how low blood sugar caused by cannabis use affects diabetics, the value of therapeutic tripping, the medical benefits of cannabis use for glaucoma sufferers and the cheap and nasty iolite-a-likes surfacing from the far east and why you should avoid them. Strolling into the VaporLounge to find Dopestock regular G13, the dopefiend engages him in conversation about DopeStock, G13's love of indica strains, whether CBD is psychoactive, allergic reactions to cannabis, and the iolite vaporizer while using it to administer some super-strong White Cheese, fresh from near victory at the DopeStock Cup. After a musical interlude from long-time DopeTriber Big Dave, the DOpefiend returns to talk more about how the iolite compares to the air2 Oxygen Mini, and why all stoners should steer clear of the vapir/voodoo/air2 family of vaporizers, more on smoking when young and whether it permanently affects your memory, the incredible revolutionary aspect of the iolite vaporizer, and more on cannabis and creativity and how it relates to video gaming. In this week's Cannabis News, an update on last week's talk of San Diego's now failed attempt to challenge legal medical marijuana policy in California, good news from Minnesota, but only for the terminally ill!, and medical grower Eddy Lepp is sentenced to 10 years in jail, an update on the fascinating Edwin Stratton/Alan Taylor cases, which aim to rock Cannabis policy in the UK to its core, and the sheriff charged with selling a pound of cannabis a week!
