Dopecast #294 7 November 2011
:cigar:
On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about the recent White House response to the vast swathes of signatories to petitions concerning cannabis and the law, and how it seems to provide yet more evidence that no administration of government will ever take the cause of cannabis legalization seriously. Moving on to this week's emails, the Dopefiend reads an account of Shelby Chronic's recent weed-infused trip to the amazing country of Thailand, prompting the Dopefiend to remenisce about his own travels in that part of the world, then the Dopefiend talks about using carbon filters as a healthier alternative to unfiltered joints, and why he has so embraced vaporizer technology over any form of smoking. Heading into the VaporLounge, the Dopefiend vapes some tasty Purple Kush in his Volcano Digit, while talking about how playing ping pong seems to always result in back pain for him, and how surprised he was to be in the presence of seemingly respectable heavy users of alcohol, before a mention for this year's DopeTribe Dispatches, for which the first prize will be a brand new WISPR vaporizer, and second prize a brand new IOLITE vaporizer, and also a mention for the prize draw in support of IoliteKnight's efforts to attend DopeStock 2012. Following a musical interlude from Dazza, the Dopefiend returns to the emails, and more talk of Amsterdam, before the Psychedelic Salon's Lorenzo gives his thoughts on use of cannabis for mood enhancement. In this week's Cannabis News: Rand Corp retracts a study that suggested dispensary closures resulted in higher crime rates, a school terrifies students by telling them a threatening intruder was on the loose so that lockers could be searched for drugs, Chicago moves towards decriminalizing posession of cannabis, and the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department disingenuously warn parents of trick-or-treaters to beware cannabis candy!
