Dear
Dr Hemp,
Hoping you
would know for sure if marijuana smoke gets cats high. I've heard many things
and I know that the plant itself is poisonous to cats if eaten. We smoke pot a
lot around cats and have even blown smoke in their ears (supposed to get them
baked). Please let me know cause I don't want to really fuck the cat up (more
than the occasional wake and bake).
Thanks,
Sici. |
Dear
Sici,
I didn't know that
marijuana was poisonous to cats, are you sure? I am a doctor you know (Dr Hemp
thc that is!)
No. Honestly. I don't think that marijuana is a problem
for cats, though they do get high. However, I think they prefer catnip. It's
cheaper!
Regards,
Dr Hemp.
P.S. Below is a photo
of our cat Josh sitting on my knee. He seems quite a healthy happy cat and has
certainly been in the presence of many people smoking pot. |

Dear
Dr Hemp,
About a month
ago my mom found my dope in my room and put me on unreasonably strict
punishment. Now I have to get tested and I wont know when I will be tested
until the day she decides to take me. I need to know what sort of detox methods
work best to clean my system. I have looked into the pills, drinks and even the
crystals you put into your urine (that's what I said ... gross!). I need your
advice ASAP. I love my weed and being away from it for so long is killing me!
Another question: when I was smoking I would smoke pretty much all day
every day and I noticed that the potency was fading and the high would wear off
quicker. Is this just bad bud or because I was smoking too often? Will it be
more potent when I start back now that I have laid off for a while?
Please respond. I am desperate for help,
Little queen.
P.S. I want to plan
a trip to London one day (I love the countryside). When I come over you think
we can get together so I don't have to sneak through customs? It'd be
great! |
Dear
Little queen,
As far as detox
goes, look for further info available on this website or check out
www.testclear.com. As far as
strength of hit is concerned, this is probably due to saturation levels of THC
in your system. The hit wears off the more you smoke, but is regained with
abstinence.
Also, you may find it difficult to find "countryside" in
London. You may have to travel a bit further out of London to find grazing cows
and the like.
By the way your mum sounds like a right dragon. Is she
from Wales?
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |

Dear
Dr Hemp,
I used to live
in the god given town of Totnes. Needless to say I smoked a lot of weed, well
skunk mainly, juicy fat buds, full and fruity, prime-time, crystalline,
wholesome and fresh, dripping with natural beauty.
But I got bored with
the nothing going on, single parent yoghurt-weaving vegans and crumby old
fogies blocking up the town, walking around in they're dumb arsed Victorian
out-fits every Tuesday, with they're shitty little market stalls, selling
mouldy old home-made jam and hand crochet fucking rag dolls.
Not to
mention police cars driving up behind you at 4mph. with their "we've had some
burglaries in the area routine", turning out your pockets, but they're still
too fucking stupid to find your ganga.
So now I'm in London were the
streets are paved with gold, working a night shift in an office full of
computers, just so I can earn enough money to go out, get drunk and forget
about it, and all I can think about is coming back to Totter's and sitting in a
field with a big fat BIFTA! I want to renoobie-up-a-doobie!
Hert-ya-with-de-spultcha! Robust-a-hinomual-glerter!
Which brings me to
the question; can you please let me know; a) when killer the budula is back in
town and b) when it's going to be summer in Totnes!
Yours forever,
Goulash. |
Dear
Goulash,
There's always good
bud if you want it, if not in town then somewhere near and there's always some
sunshine in Totters somewhere.
The music scene in London is probably a
little bit better than down here.
It's funny how the grass is always
greener, 'scuse the pun.
I suppose you've got to way it up. Money vs
clean air!
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I just moved to
Huntville, Alabama and need to know when the best time is to go mushroom
picking around here. I know the kids in Florida pick it mainly in the spring
and I'm not that far from there. All I want to know is the best time of year,
day and weather conditions for me to go to the nearest cow farm and start
picking. It would be much appreciated if you get back to me.
Cheers my
man,
Kikphyre. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
What are the
best materials to use to get rid of the smell from very strong ganja? I mean
the smell stays around for a long time.
Cheers my man,
Dark Side. |
Dear
Dark Side,
It's unlikely that you
will find anything to disguise the smell if it's that good. Try incense, air
freshener or dog shit.
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
How do I
produce the resin blocks supplied by my local dealer and is there anywhere that
will import into UK?
Cheers my man,
Karel. |
Dear
Karel,
First of all, go
to a dodgy Dutch firm or similar and just ask them for some low quality "soap
bar" and you'll probably get a huge lump of ready made shit hash, that would
probably not be illegal due to it's low THC content.
Alternatively, go
and buy some low quality shade leaf (cabbage), mix it up with some 80's pop
tunes, henna and some industrial solvent. Make this into blocks weighing
approximately 9oz and bingo! Something similar to what you are buying off your
dealer at present.
If you are prepared to go one better, then I suggest
that you strike up a deal with some Moroccan prince and persuade him to sell
you tons of lovely quality cannabis resin or pollen. Bring it all back home and
sell it off cheaply around Totnes and the surrounding district; then go over
again to get some more once it's all done.
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
What I was
wondering is how many leaves does a female marijuana plant have and how many
leave does a male have? Please email me back ASAP.
Cheers,
True Potheads. |
Dear
True Potheads,
Are you sure
you're not a mathematician parading to be a toker? How long is a piece of
thing? The number of leaves on a plant has nothing to do with sex at all!
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I just want to
ask if there are any fertilizers or anything to make my plants stronger? I have
heard that horse shit is good?
Cheers,
DC. |
Dear
DC,
Horse manure is a great
fertilizer, but is plagued by the fact that it contains many grass seeds and
other things you may not want to grow with your cannabis.
If you grow
your plants in a controlled environment, (a room that has artificially
controlled temperature, light, food, CO2 and air movement) then you are more
likely to achieve very high potency.
However, if you are growing outside
then it is a much greater subject, as many extraneous factors come in to
play.
My advice is to get a good book, a greenhouse and get on with
it!
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
For some reason
nobody can seem to tell me how to make skunk tea/coffee, being a bong smoker I
am new to the whole 'cooking with cannabis' thing. Could you tell me how to
make skunk tea/coffee?
Thanx,
David Wright. |
Dear
David Wright,
Don't
bother.
Bud is much better smoked neat in a pipe, or even a vaporiser.
For food, it is better to cook using solids, as they are much more easily
absorbed into oils, which are then HIGHLY usable for any cooking
purposes
But if you must pour boiling water over good bud, add a tea bag
maybe and shed a tear over the fact that you are destroying really nice THC in
order to drink it that way. (Some people do this in a flask, but your still
destroying the THC by pouring water over it.)
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
Hey man, killer
page.
First of all, our glass colour changing pipes aren't that cool. I
mean they are cool, but you have to watch them carefully and they change
colour. US weed for the most part in Michigan comes from a city called Ann
Arbor or Detroit. I live in a smaller town of 30,000 or something like that.
cannabis commonly comes in 8th of an ounce and costs $30 US, this
comes down to $120-180 if you buy an ounce. This is because there are usually
real pot dealers and semi pot dealers.
The real ones where we live,
drive to Detroit several times a week and buy in bulk, then sell it to people
in ounces, which is then sold to people for about $30 US an 8th.
A term used a lot is "I'll hook you up with a fat 8th". It
doesn't make sense because that just means it is more than an 8th.
I've actually received an 8th that was more like a quarter for $30.
Well I imagine it works like this a lot in other places too.
Other drug
prices; Magic mushrooms also $30 an 8th; Acid $5 a hit; ecstacy
sucks ass with prices (fortunately I don't do chemical drugs) and costs $15-$30
a hit. Well just in case you wanted to know.
You should let people know
this but I guess you already know. Tell all of our beginner smoking friends
(seems like a lot of your question askers) to save their roaches. Smoking a
roach is so much more concentrated because of all the absorbed smoke. It's
stupid to waste. Also hashish is almost non-existent in the USA.
Oh
yeah, sorry for rambling. Does different types of weed actually cause different
effects? Well I know it does but it seems like THC is THC.
Well that is
all thanks,
Stephen. |
Dear
Stephen,
Thanks for the drug
price list.
Regarding the qualities of THC. Yes there are different
qualities of THC content in plants grown in different conditions. However, as
far as roaches are concerned, are you getting stoned or just getting high off
tar?
It's great isn't it!
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I wonder if you
can help me. I am shortly going to the dentists and will be having an injection
in the gum. Would I have any adverse affects by having cannabis in my
bloodstream? I have a medical condition which cannabis helps to relieve, but do
not wish to experience adverse affects at the dentists.
Cheers,
Maxel. |
Dear
Maxel,
I am only a doctor of
cannabis smoking and was unable to make it into the office to do any real work
with real people. Therefore I suggest that if in doubt don't bother. You don't
inform us of what medical condition you have, but I would probably say that
cannabis has few adverse effects on most conditions, unless you need to rely on
memory! Like how many fillings?
Cheers,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I don't have
any questions because I am probably a bigger pot head than you. I'm gonna go
burn a sack now. The people who send you these questions are a bunch of
beginner pot smokers. So maybe from now on you should send your questions to me
and I can help you answer them.
Cheers,
U.S. Biggest Toker. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
Why is it
illegal to grow hemp in the United States? Who's holding us back?
Did
you know all of the uses for hemp other than recreational? (I don't have
anything against that by the way.) For example, a substitute for gasoline,
clothing of course, and paper products. If a lot was grown it would reverse the
green house effect; did you know that?
Do you know Jack Herer and have
you read his book, "The Emporer Wears No Clothes"? You should. It's about hemp
and it's very educational.
Do you know of the hemp legalization
activists in the United States, or the names of their organizations? I would
like to know so that I can get in touch with them.
A friend and I are
trying to take over the world and grow hemp everywhere because it's so helpful
and good in so many ways, please respond.
Sincerely,
Pinky and the Brain. |
Dear
Pinky and the Brain,
As far as the
laws of nature are concerned it is not illegal to grow marijuana in the United
States. As for what your Government says; I think you have enough on your plate
at the moment. Somehow, I think they are less bothered by the threat of
marijuana at the present. You are the one who is holding yourself
back!
I only know Jack Herer from experience and have never read the
book!
As far as Hemp Organisations in the USA are concerned, try
www.norml.org, or maybe you
should start your own! Then you can take over the world with Hemp, which you
want to grow everywhere! However, that might be really stupid idea. It's great
for smoking (medicinal and relaxational qualities), making ropes and fibres and
wood pulp, but I need food and roaming space as well!
Actually, I know
what you mean, I am also part of the "Let's grow it everywhere" brigade;
however, it is not naturally found in the UK and would not survive a winter
here, unless it was kept warm. Even then to make any outdoor crop worthwhile,
it still needs to be tended on a regular basis. Therefore I say, go plant it
anywhere you like, but for the serious all year round grower lights are a
necessity.
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
