Great listen

I've been listening to Uncle Weed now for over a year and I can attest to every episode being entertaining and thought provoking. The subjects range from of course our favorite herb to hockey to saving the trees. What more could you ask for? The latest episode (two parts with part 2 on uncle weed on 12/17 and part 1 on the dopefiend.co.uk) is of epic proportions and quite possibly the most fun podcast I've ever enjoyed. Give Uncle Weed a listen and get ready to hoot, in more ways than one...
