Dear Dr Hemp,

Is it true that if you stick Ecstasy up your ass it will make you roll harder?

Regards,

Brades.

Dear Experimental Arse-pill User,

I have absolutely no idea; never had the urge to try that one mate. Please wash your hands after experimenting though!

What happens when you double drop? Or should I say insert? Do you rattle when you dance?

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

I am faced with the dilemma of being frequently low on weed and sometimes have to resort to smoking residue; the only problem is I can't figure out the best way to scrape my bowl! It always makes a sticky icky mess and I don't know who to ask for the best way to go about this procedure, but I am hoping you will be able to enlighten me.

Regards,

Eric.

Dear Eric,

I'll be quite honest and say that what you are smoking is absolute rubbish and mostly tar. Yes there is some low-grade THC in the residue you are smoking, but it's not really worth the effort. Go and get some money together and buy yourself some more you lazy twit. Even better, go and buy some lights and get on with growing your own, then you'll see what sticky fingers are all about for real.

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

I was wondering if you knew of a doctor in my area who prescribes medical marijuana. I am a quadriplegic and just need a doctor.

If you could help me. I would appreciate it. I live in Orange County CA.

Regards,

Birdie.

Dear Birdie,

We are based in the UK and therefore too far away to be of practical help. You do occasionally hear of people opening shops selling Marijuana openly for medical usage, but these are usually short-lived with the owners being arrested and made into criminals. A quick search on the Internet showed me that this has been happening in California, but obviously with some federal opposition. You never know though, an Internet search yourself with the words "medical cannabis" distribution California will bring you to a decent selection of possibilities.

I know it is almost impossible to obtain marijuana legally in America or the UK without filling in a huge amount of forms, if indeed you can get a doctor to support you in the first place!

The best advice I can give is to research into growing your own. Is this possible? If marijuana alleviates discomforts then I would not be too concerned about taking the law into my own hands in order to do something about it! You do not say whether you are wheelchair bound or have a care worker who may be sympathetic enough to help you start a grow room?

It's a shame the law is as it is, as it is a most beautiful plant to look at! It would be good to have them comfortably on display without undue paranoia.

It's a fucking crime if you ask me!

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

I heard it is mushroom season in the UK now. I live in London and would like to know where to go to pick some locally. Do you know of any clubs that do this or do you know of any good websites that cater for this?

Cheers,

Eddie Varso.

Dear Eddie,

Yes, indeed it is mushroom season; already been very wasted on some Liberty Caps picked at the beginning of October on Dartmoor.

Apparently they grow in most of the major parks, though I'm sure you would have to go further a field if you wanted them in larger quantities.

Any fields that have remained undisturbed for the last 50-100+ years are possible places. Golf courses can be excellent, as can village greens, though personally, I like to get out into open countryside and to make a day or two of it. Wales, Scotland and Ireland are lovely places to go and a great break from that monotonous London life that so many people lead.

You do hear about people selling them, though mostly this is done in the summer when the weather is warmer and there's a good band playing at a festival that you're at and why in the fuck does summer come to an end!!! Still, I like winter as well. There are usually some great mushroom parties happening in little pockets all around the British countryside.

Go get yourself a good book and get on with it!

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

How are things in jolly old England? I am proud of the fact that I have never been drug tested or finger printed, and that is the way I want to keep it. I am in the job hunt. Is there any way I can tell if a company drug tests before I apply? Is there any list of companies that do not drug test? For example, I wondered if Starbucks drug screens employees, since they are literally selling a drug. Also, wondered about temporary employment agencies.

Thanks for your time,

Valerie.

Dear Valerie,

Good question. Starbucks are legal fucking dealers and overpriced to boot. Bloody good coffee though. Yes they do drug test their employees and if you are found to have any Nescafe, Kenco, Douwe Egberts or any other brand name in your system, then you are disqualified immediately and forced to work for McDonalds.

Actually, the real answer is I don't know. Pot luck I suppose. Pardon the pun.

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

By rolling a joint with BOTH, weed and tobacco, will the high be any different? How does a PURE WEED joint differ from a mixed joint? Is the high different? Stronger? Please explain!

Sincerely,

Lord Rosse.

Dear Lord Rosse,

Well, being a non-tobacco smoker of some 6 years now (and a condescending bastard to boot), I believe that the high I obtain off of neat weed is far superior to the more sedated hit that a tobacco/weed mix gives you. It's a point of mixing drugs. When you satisfy a craving for tobacco, feelings of irritability and sluggishness are temporarily appeased; this feeling wears off shortly after, until the craving is satisfied again and again. This seems to affect the "hit", and so therefore without tobacco, the high is purely down to the THC content of your weed.

Also smoking it pure gets you twice as faced, twice as quick. Try it!

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

The past week I had a big problem that scared me, I would smoke some weed and about 3 or 4 hours later I would start to bleed from my nose. I told my friends and one of them suggested that I should stop blowing smoke out from my nose and I stopped and so did the bleeding. Was the bleeding related to blowing smoke from my nose? Or because my blood was to contaminated with THC?

Thanks,

Nic.

Dear Nic,

New one on me mate, but it sounds like you have a blood pressure problem and should go and see a real doctor, not a stupid made up one like myself.

If you have any of that weed left, I also suggest that you send it over to me for analysis!

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

What are the effects of smoking weed on a 40-year-old woman? Is it true that it leads to premature aging?

Best,

Elizabeth.

Dear Elizabeth,

Who knows what the effects of premature ageing on a forty year old woman are! How can anything actually make you older anyway? Please send us a photo and we'll judge whether you are a "beaut" or a "brute".

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

I am a pot loving 26 year old female. I have smoked the nice greens for about 8 years and only the kindest for the last 5 or so. Anyway, I recently went to Amsterdam and got way FREAKIN baked to the point where I was paranoid and it was not cool. Since then the same reaction happens every time I puff it out. I keep trying it out about once a week just to see if I can be my own high happy self again. It always fails! HELP what is wrong with me?

Just wanna get high,

Jenny.

Dear Jenny,

You have gone mad.

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

My doctor told me that smoking marijuana makes your hair fall out. I am balding at a very young age and have been smoking a lot for a few years. Is this true, should I quit or is it too late? I love weed and quit for two months once upon hearing this information from my doctor, but didn't notice that much of a difference. What should I do?

Thanks,

Christian.

Dear Christian,

I am sorry to hear about your hair loss, but feel that it is probably something that you did in a past life that has come back to haunt you. You are a wicked person of dubious character and this has been done to humiliate you. God works in mysterious ways and by making you go bald, other people can feel better about their lives, for though they may be sad little bastards themselves at least they have hair.

My advice to you is to get a badly fitting toupee and take the flack. Mirror head!

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

How do you smoke cannabis in a bottle?

Thanks,

James.

Dear James,

In answer to your question, first find a very big bottle, climb inside and proceed to smoke cannabis!

Alternatively, as I used to do, try "hot-knives" using a milk bottle. This is done with at least two people. One to administer the drug and the other to get wasted. You swap roles as and when.

Firstly, smash out the bottom of the bottle, which is easily done by dropping a knife or something through the mouth of the bottle with some force.

Secondly, small lumps of cannabis are then laid out on a work surface whilst two knife ends are heated up until they glow, one glowing tip is then used to pick up the cannabis lump, whilst the other hot tip is used to squash the lump of cannabis therefore releasing the smoke up the funnel and into the mouth.

The oil collected in the bottle is much more refined as there is little tar in solids and it is well worth saving a bottle for use during a year of smoking, by which time the oil build up would be quite substantial.

Be prepared to get very wasted.

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

I love to smoke marijuana! I smoke a good $10-20 dollars a day of it and was wondering if it could cause throat irritations such as chronic coughing? Also, I wanted to know what's the best product out at health stores that can rapidly flush out my system?

Thanks,

The Man Holding Chicago Down.

Dear Chicagoan Pot Head,

Yes, I'm sure weed makes you cough, after all it is still smoke isn't it! As for the flushing of your system, I recommend Test Clear if you need to pass a drugs test.

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

What is G-13? I have a buddy who can get it and I want to know how much you would pay for a quarter? Also I just smoked it for the first time and I was more stoned than I have ever been in my whole life. Is it laced?

Thanks,

Trent.

Dear Trent,

G-13 is an evil weed that has been known to kill a person at ten paces. It should not be handled by anyone other than an unprofessional, so would you quickly send me what you have left before it does anymore damage. We shall dispose of it safely and professionally. Trust me I'm a doctor.

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

How do I make crystal methamphetamine? I am going to kill my friend for his money if you don't respond.

Thanks,

Brades.

Dear Brades,

First of all, you must go to college and become a scientist, then you must find yourself a dodgy supplier from a chemical factory to supply you with the ingredients that you need. Then you must set up your own secret underground lab somewhere in the mountains, put the ingredients into test tubes and other funny apparatus heating some up, cooling some down, swirling them around and writing down relevant figures. Then after a bit it all becomes ready. Next start up a big distribution network around America and then you are ready to make shed loads of money, turning fat people into emaciated paranoid psychopaths. Happy now!

Alternatively, in Totnes, home of drippy hippy types, we just get hold of some homoeopathically diluted mentholated spirits and wave a crystal or two over it and Bob's your uncle.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Dr Hemp.
