Dopefiend.co.uk : The Cannabis Podcast Network

On this week's 420 Special of Dopefiend Quarantined the Dopefiend is joined by a bong-ripping Gremlin of Ganja, Scoobysnakks, Mrs Mole and Teenage Pie, Green Lady and Scottobaggins, Jay Hobbes, Hudsonrulez and Syconot for a freewheeling stoney sesh covering such diverse topics as the origins of 420, the origins of the Dopefiend Network's 420 celebrations, including the game of Svaristiqué, the Canal Cruises, mushroom trips and other fun, and the general atmosphere of Amsterdam in April, as well as stories of other 420 celebrations in San Francisco, Toronto, how 420 in the age of Covid will be- no more joint passing for one thing! Are we nearing the end point of communal stonage? If so do we really need cannabis consumption lounges? We also discuss some whitey stories, why fainting occurs with some cannabis users like Teenage Pie, a similar story involving Gremlin and some truffles, and another involving Syconot and Nitrous Oxide, leading to some talk about the combination of Nitrous Oxide and LSD and how it can induce a sort of time-travel experience back to ancient times. We then take some time to respond to a post from Redditor dzidzgdmin about how Cannabis isn't as safe as it's made out to be, and also talk about the recent spat between London Mayor Sadiq Khan and former London Mayor and current Prime Minister of the UK Boris Johnson about cannabis legalization, and shifting attitudes to cannabis across the globe, before we count down to 4.20 itself and enjoy some delicious vapey flavours while listening to Jay Hobbes play us out in honour of this special stoner holiday. Don't miss the second season of Grow Nation starting on April 21st right here on Dopefiend.co.uk! And check twitter.com/dopefiend if you want to join our all day 420 sesh on zoom.

On this week's Dopefiend Quarantined the Dopefiend is joined by Syconot in California, Cannaya in Seattle, HudsonRulez in Ontario, Green Lady and Scotto Baggins in South London, Esse B in West London, Jay Hobbes in Wales, the Gremlin of Ganja in London, Teenage Pie and Mrs Mole in Halmstead to celebrate the news that New York has legalized cannabis for all adults over 21, and expunged related convictions, and what this means for the likelihood of national legalization, how New Mexico and even Switzerland appear to be jumping on this bandwagon, we also give some first time advice for New Yorkers about to embark on their legal cannabis journey as the Dopefiend munches on one of Green Lady's brand new medicated vegan Creme Eggs. This leads to some talk about the differences between vape carts and vaping flower, and vaping vs edibles, and how CBD affects the edible experience. We then move on to the possibility of legalization in the UK, following the recommendations of the recent investigation into race inequality in the UK that favoured legalization, how medical legalization has altered the landscape in the UK, including for Esse B who has got the ball rolling on his own prescription process, and who's also celebrating the relaxation of lockdown in the UK, allowing him to meet with the Dopefiend and the Bagginsis for a nice garden sesh at the Dope Den, allowing us to experience the communal aspects of cannabis once again- leading us to consider possible plans for this year's 420 celebrations. Finally we talk a bit about how British Columbia in Canada is trying to get to grips with the problem of medical growers selling excess product on the black market, and stories of how US legal cannabis makes its way overseas. Join us next week for our 420 Special!

On this week's Dopefiend Quarantined the Dopefiend is joined by Scoobysnakks, Scottobaggins and Green Lady, TeenagePie and Mrs Mole, J Hobbes, Hudsonrulez, The Vaporist, Syconot and the Gremlin of Ganja who are talking about the dreaded curse of anti-vaxxers, how the Dopetribe handle encounters with these characters, how social media encourages these kinds of outlooks, and can even encourage us to generate false personalities based on likes and shares, the phenomenon of "research", how antivaxxer ideas are linked to conspiracy theories like QAnon and climate change denial, and also to the concept of cannabis as a cancer remedy, whether there is any truth to it, how the profit and greed involved in medicine can lead a lot of cannabis users to be suspicious, and whether distrust of authority is a trait that particularly effects cannabis users, and whether social media can be used to re-educate people. We also squeeze in a bit of chat about the new £5 per gram medical flower available to patients in the UK, and the profit-motivated waters that patients have to navigate in this private environment, as well as some encouraging news for cannabis patients travelling to Thailand, and also for patients taking domestic flights around the UK, all discovered by redditors at r/ukmedicalcannabis, as well as the good news on New York's new legal cannabis law, which again raises the question of when the US decriminalises cannabis at the federal level, something that seems all the more unlikely when the Biden administration has just fired five staffers who admitted to use of legal cannabis. Meanwhile Michigan legalizes psychedelics- a welcome reminder of just how far we've come just as Amsterdam yet again winds up the old wietpas chesnut- so what will be the next big new cannabis destination? Las Vegas? Ibiza? And how will this brave new cannabis planet get around the emissions and carbon footprint of cannabis horticulture. Join us next Sunday for another Dopefiend Quarantined!

Back for another Dopefiend Quarantined as we count down the weeks to our 420 special, the Dopefiend is joined this week by The Vaporist, Hudsonrulez, BB, Syconot, Scotto Baggins and Green Lady, MangledMe, TeenagePie and Mrs Mole, Jade HempressRising, Lorenzo Hagerty and Jade HempressRising to talk about the recent reductions in prices of medical cannabis in the UK, with one flower now available at only £5 per gram and suggestions of similar prices across the board, how this compares to other medical markets in Canada and Australia, the various medical cannabis ID cards currently available in the UK and whether the many options are muddying the waters, whether UK medical cannabis patients are permitted to drive while using their prescribed cannabis medicine, whether legalization has prevented the police fucking people over in California, the public image of the police in the UK following the murder of Sarah Everard by a police officer and the heavy handed policing of the subsequent peaceful protests, coupled with the threats of extremely tight restrictions on the right to protest. Jade HempressRising also raises the issue of tight restrictions coming in against CBD products and edibles, leading to some talk about creeping authoritarianism in the UK, and some talk about the new documentary Can't Get You Out of My Head by Adam Curtis. Apologies for the audio drop-outs in this episode!

On the first episode of Dopefiend Quarantined's second season, the Dopefiend and DopeTribe are back one year after the world went into lockdown and reconnect on how their lives have changed in the past twelve months, with input from Scottobaggins and Green Lady, Son of Gonzo, the Gremlin of Ganja, Hudsonrulez, Teenage Pie and Mrs Mole discussing the UK medical cannabis scene, Aquaponics, the perils of home schooling, the depressing life of musicians and performers this past year, the therapeutic benefits of horticulture and home gardening, the new Tafée Bowle vaporizer and what makes it so unique, TeenagePie's new TikTok habit, lucid dreaming and dream interpretation, encounters with US customs, the chances of full legalization in the USA and the political climate in general, social media's impact on politics and how science fiction is becoming reality. Finally we close with a song from Son of Gonzo.
