On the two-hundred-and-first episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about the ongoing struggle between the American medical marijuana movement and the federal drug laws, and how the latest hurdle, that of the legality of selling medical cannabis, has been tackled in Los Angeles, and how they're now facing a cap on the number of dispensaries in LA. Following a call to the DopeTribe for submissions for this year's DopeTribe Dispatches, the Dopefiend turns to the emails which kick off with positive vibes following our incredible 200th episode from DopeTribers vince noir rocknroll star, who celebrates our thriving community; James, who sees the Dopecast as his "smoking buddy"; Psychedelic Podfather Lorenzo, who draws attention to the success of the whole network and an archive of over 500 shows; and Clark, who's used information from the Dopefiend network and the support of the DopeTribe at the forum to set up his own grow, as well as to make the switch to vaporizing. Next up, Caroline raises the question of the safety of using cannabis during pregnancy, and whether vaping eliminates the risk, leading the Dopefiend to take a comprehensive look at the research on cannabis use in pregnancy. Heading into the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend takes a look at the VapBong vaporizer, one of the low-cost lighter-powered vaporizer options available to cash-strapped Vapefiends which was sent to the Dopefiend thanks to DopeTriber lee roy 2.0, then, having tasted some Master Kush in the VapBong, the Dopefiend advertises a 420-friendly room in Texas and goes on to draw the winning entry in last week's incredible competition to win a brand-new iolite portable vaporizer and also tells the DopeTribe how they can be a Dopecast winner too! After a musical interlude from Stoney McStonerson, the Dopefiend talks about how medical cannabis legalization is even creeping into traditionally prohibitionist strongholds like Iowa, mentions a new study into cannabis use, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and in the Cannabis News this week: the parents of an autistic 10 year-old report success with medical cannabis, Professor David Nutt recommends a Royal Commission into legalizing cannabis, while another academic warns of the dangers of cannabis-induced psychosis, the former US Attorney who indicted Marc Emery changes his tune, just as Marc himself is released on bail, Oregon's new cannabis cafe causes media confusion, and the L.A. grow factory busted just 25 feet from the nearest police station.
