Dopecast #309 26 March 2012

:cigar:

On this week's episode of the Web's Favourite Cannabis Podcast, the Dopefiend talks about how excited he is for the forthcoming DopeStock celebrations, and how the Dutch government are planning to put an end to celebrations of freedom such as DopeStock in the city of Amsterdam, as they attempt to ban tourists from using coffeeshops and buying cannabis legally. The Dopefiend also talks about how one of the city's best loved coffeeshops, the Rokerij, has been closed by police following the arrest of the shop's owner. Turning to the emails, the Dopefiend reads a message of congratulations at his enduring career from Ned Fletcher, then turns to an email from Charlie, who believes moving to California will cure him of his cynical outlook and inability to communicate, leading the Dopefiend to talk about how drug experiences can't solve all of life's issues, and how sometimes sobriety is what the doctor ordered. Next, the Dopefiend welcomes special guests KMO, host of the C-Realm Podcast, and Lorenzo, host of the Psychedelic Salon, onto the show to talk about how the Dopefiend.co.uk network's psychedelc output is about to increase, and how and why KMO is involved. Next, the Dopefiend fires up his Plenty vaporizer, repeats last week's ceremony, and vaporizes some tasty Blue Mystic while talking about the value he found in this year's DopeFast, before a musical interlude from the Time Travelling Toaster. Returning to the emails, the Dopefiend talks about how a creative outlook gained from use of cannabis and psychedelics can lead to productivity and greater understanding, before we hear from Samwise about his use of mugwort with his WISPR vaporizer, and about life in Perth. Finally, Cannaya brings this week's Cannabis News, including the latest from the front line of the War on Drugs, Mexico, and news of tech blogger Xeni Jardin's embracement of medical cannabis following her breast cancer diagnosis.
