Dear Dr
Hemp,
I just took a drug test and used that bottled liquid READY
CLEAR to cleanse my system. But I failed the drug test, do you know of any
medications that show up as weed and if so could you tell them to me, so
hopefully I can talk my way back into this job.
Also, is the weed that
is listed on the net and High Times real weed? Do you know of any good sites I
might be interested in?
Thank you for your help and response,
Latreace Smith. |
Dear
Latreace,
Did you follow the
exact instructions that came with this product? Get back to me with more
information on this one. I have had many letters concerning drug tests - so you
might want to look at some of my other replies on this web site.
As for
the weed that is listed in High Times, some of it is real and some of it is
not. You can buy herbal highs, which are just legal herbs and not marijuana;
some are better than others with Salvia Divinorum being a particular favourite
of mine. The seeds are generally real, some people use them for bird food or
fishing bait (what a waste - stoned budgies and happy chubbs).
Finally,
check out our links page for some
other high quality marijuana web sites.
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
My local head
shop has a mushroom kit. I am seriously thinking of buying it. There is a
serious lack of mushrooms in town. My problem is that I heard that they get
contaminated easily. What can I do to make sure that I get a chronic batch of
zoomers, with no chance of poisoning my friends and myself?
Regards,
Rafael
Barros. |
Dear
Rafael,
Follow the
instructions that come with the kit to the letter and I wish you the
best of luck.
I live in an area where I don't have to grow them, as
they grow naturally in the wild.
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I am doing a
research paper on "wet" marijuana. I don't know exactly what it is but I was
told that pot is soaked in something (possibly PCP?) then dried and smoked. I
can't find any information on it anywhere. I don't know if its too new of a
term or my information is wrong. .
Please help,
Tricia Ogden . |
Dear
Tricia ,
Wet
marijuana is an American thing. I have known of cases where people crop and
freeze the grass instantly and take it straight out of the deep freeze to
smoke.
I have also known of people who have sprayed plants with brandy
or whiskey or rum and then dried, but it still stays very moist.
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I was recently
the victim of a change of location. This resulting move was from sunny Devon to
darkest Scotland. This unsettling event would not be so bad but for the fact
that there is a practically absolute lack of sweet smelling skunk and only lots
of inferior resin. I am not the only person to have complained.
What do
I do Dr Hemp? Please help a nation in plight .
Yours with love,
The Mushroom King.
P.S.
Tell the Pixies I miss them. |
Big
A,
You slack arse! Do the right thing - you know what I mean. It's the
only method to end the drought.

Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
First of all
let me just tell you that you are like an idol. I as well smoke the great and
all mighty hemp everyday. I have two questions for you:
1) Does
marijuana have any long term effects that might show up lets say in 10 years or
so?
2) To you what is the best way to hit weed (pipe, joints, fast
rotations, etc.,)
Thank you,
PoT HeaD. |
Dear
PoT HeaD,
Your fashion sense
doesn't change much as your usually too stoned to notice and you tend to be
terminally skint, unless you get into some serious growing.
In my
opinion the best way to hit weed is with a vaporiser or a bong with neat grass.
Any method that doesn't use tobacco is generally the best. Sit back and enjoy.
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
Hey, I was just
wondering what POD meant. I hear it a lot in most of the Bone Thugs-n-Harmony
songs but I have no idea what it means. Any Ideas?
Regards,
Mike Adams . |
Dear
Mike,
I am sorry to tell you that I
don't know the answer to this question )-:
If there is anyone reading
this site who does know the answer, please e-mail me and I shall publish it on this
web site.

Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
If I was going
to get drug tested tomorrow is there anything I would be able to do to be able
to pass it cause my parents are always on my ass?
Regards,
Canibus. |
Dear
Canibus,
I get many letters
from people worried about drug testing and I think that drug testing is a
terrible invasion of privacy. Did you know that drug tests tell more about a
person than just use of illegal drugs? An employer can find out whether a
person is pregnant, or taking prescribed drugs. Unscrupulous employers may turn
people down for employment because of their condition.
Fortunately, it
is a piece of piss to pass a piss test. There are plenty of detoxification
formulas on the market, I recommend
www.testclear.com.
However, if you cannot afford this, apparantly you can still pass a
piss test with the help of a couple of cans of cranberry juice and a tap. Drink
a shit load of cranberry juice a few hours before the test and then go to the
toilet. After you have been, drink as much water as possible until you need to
go to the toilet again. This is what you use for the test and you should be
pissing l'eau Evian.
Do not use your first piss of the day, as this is
the strongest and give the middle part of your piss. Remember these methods do
not permanently clean out your system, so don't think that you only have to do
this once until you do drugs again.
Passing a hair test is more
difficult and the only way I know how to do this is by using a special hair
follicle shampoo. There are quite a few products on the market, again
www.testclear.com are supposed to be very good.
Regards,
Dr
Hemp.
P.S. You might want to consider getting some vitamin B12
suppliments to give your piss a yellow colour and avoid raising unnecessary
suspicions. |

Good
Doctor,
I am presently studying in Holland and I have buddies back home
in the States who are asking about getting some weed or hash sent back to them
through the mail.
I realize it is their risk totally, but I would like
to know as much as possible myself if I am going to go through with it. Any
tips? Anything that is fool proof? Anything that is guaranteed to get nixed? I
have heard that hashish in an innocent birthday card is effective because of
its inconspicuous nature.
Please let me know. I understand that you
are from the UK, so if you know someone in the States who is more familiar with
the best methods for getting something past US customs, I'd be happy to accept
the reference.
Thanks much,
Teddy.
P.S. Not looking to send a
major package, just something small, if that makes a difference, which it
must. |
Dear
Teddy,
I asked a Dutch friend
of mine and she recommends cassettes or small packages like that. If it is hash
and you are able to make it very thin, roll it out and place in between two
photographs or a birthday card and then put on the outside of the letter 'do
not bend - contains photographs'.
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Hey
Dr Hemp,
I have been
growing a plant for 2-3 months now and it is about 20 inches tall with little
like seed on the top, but no real buds. Do you know how long I can wait before
I start to see buds?
Thank you,
Scott. |
Dear
Scott,
If it has gone to seed chop
the fucking thing down right now, I don't like seedy plants. If it is being
done under a light it should be showing buds or the formation of buds after 6
weeks. If you are doing it outdoors, you won't get any budding until about May.
Happy smoking and keep away from the seeds.
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I have recently
giving up smoking (tobacco) and would like to know what you think is the safest
way to use my fav weed.
Thank you,
Scott. |
Dear
Aly,
A vaporiser is one of the
safer way to smoke your favourite weed. You can also smoke it neat or eat it,
skunk omelettes being preferred.
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I enjoy smoking
weed, but I don't like getting bud that is sprayed with chemicals to get me
higher. It's so unnatural and obviously not cas. How does one tell by
appearance whether bud is sprayed? And is it possible for chemicals not to
smell on the bud but smell when burned?
Thanks,
Aly. |
Dear
Aly,
You should be able to
tell from the look and smell of it. A close inspection will tell and if really
in doubt ask for a taster, but to be honest weed is rarely spayed.
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I have a
question about the effects of smoking pot and breathing oxygen at oxygen bars.
Would the oxygen enhance my high or bring it down?
Regards,
PhttE. |
Dear
PhttE,
It should enhance your
high simply because the THC will get into your system more effectively. If you
are in an oxygen bar you're probably better of just going for the oxygen high,
wait until that wears off and then have a smoke - you'll probably appreciate it
more.
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
We would like
to know why when you smoke cannabis, why do you feel hungry? My friend thinks
that it speeds up your metabolism. Could you tell us the truth?
Regards,
Domonic. |
Dear
Domonic,
It's
something to do with the cannabis activating your anandamide receptors, which
has the effect of giving you the munchies. Nothing better than a pizza, beer,
video, spliff and a pretty face to smile at on a Sunday afternoon.
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Hey
Dr Hemp,
How long does
marijuana stay in your system?
Thank you,
Puppy. |
Dear
Puppy,
Forever if you smoke like
me.
It also depends on what sort of drug test is done to see if
marijuana is in your system. For example, with a hair test it will show for up
to 90 days even for a low usage.
For a piss test it can still stay in
your system for up to 90 days. However, if you are not a regular user it will
stay between 24 - 72 hours for a single usage. For a more regular user it will
show up on a piss test from between 14 to 90 days, but I believe it is
generally about 28 days.
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
Can you tell me
how many spliffs should be in an eighth of chronic?
Regards,
Elyse. |
Dear
Elyse,
It's all down to how much
you put in the spliff. It's like asking how long is a piece of string.
The good Dr will normally only get 3 or 4 spliffs out of an eight as he thinks
that tobacco tends to get in the way and causes addiction. If you must use
tobacco you can probably get around 8 - 10.
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
1) Is it true
that smoking marijuana can darken your lips?
2) I wanna grow marijuana
indoors right. But I live with my mother and I don't want her to find out that
I'm growing it. What can I do to not let her find out I'm growing it?
3) When smoking pot, how long does it take for the "high" to fade away?
Regards,
Anon. |
Dear
Anon,
Thank you for your questions, I will try my best to answer all
three.
1) I wouldn't know, mine are cherry red and I have over 20 years
experience in smoking marijuana.
2) Try using joss sticks and an
ionised extractor, which negates all the smells. I have heard of people using
ionisers in the growroom, which stops the grass from smelling, as long as it is
fairly small scale. Of course, I have no personal experience of this. Your mum
still may still be suspicious when she sees the plants and electric bill. You
might want to consider leaving home and getting your own place.
3) I
smoke all day every day and I'm usually fairly straight when I wake up in the
morning, but not after five minutes.
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
Hey I smoked
for the first time about a month ago and I got an 1/8 of pot that night. After
that I didn't get the chance to smoke until 4 days ago and I have smoked about
5 rips a day mostly more. I have been stoned since the first time sometimes it
lets up a little, but it's mostly always there and I just get more high right
after smoking. The weed was probably stale, but I am wondering why I am still
messed up? Could the weed have been laced? What's happening?
Regards,
MEKRULES. |
Dear
MEKRULES,
The weed was probably
damp when you got it, therefore it will have dried out and crystallised more -
so you will get a better high. It is very doubtful that the weed was
laced.
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
Can you please
explain to me what is so special about purple kush or just kush in
general?
Regards,
RLSasson. |
Dear
RLSasson,
Basically because it is
calcium deficient, it promotes extra growth of cannabinoids - the same as
purple haze, so you will get a heavier high.
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
Can you send me
a list of the countries where weed is still legal?
Thank you,
Guy. |
Dear
Guy,
The Belgian government has
recently agreed to decriminalise the use of marijuana, following its neighbour
the Netherlands in granting legal tolerance to use of the drug. The Belgian
legislation has legalised possession of small amounts of cannabis for personal
consumption. It will not allow sale of the drug, unlike in the Netherlands,
where ''coffee shops'' selling marijuana cigarettes are a common sight in many
cities. The Belgian law also allows the cultivation of marijuana plants for
personal use.
In other European Union countries the use of marijuana is
still illegal, although EU governments have become increasingly more unwilling
to pursue tough marijuana policies, especially for minor possession. For
example, Germany tolerates the consumption of single marijuana cigarettes.
Unfortunately, Great Britain has the most draconian attitude towards marijuana
use, yet even here, some police officers are turning a blind eye for small
amounts of possession.
There is an interesting test case coming up in
the UK courts. Alan Mason is facing marijuana-related charges and is pleading
'not guilty'. The main thrust of his defence is that under Article 8 of the
Human Rights Act 1998 (The right to respect for privacy), the state had no
right to interfere in that way in what he was doing in his own house. There is
a very good chance that he may win this case and if so, it will force all
European Union member states to change their national laws relating to
cannabis. For more information about this you can visit his web site at
www.free2toke.net.
The Swiss government, which is
not an EU member, has also recently proposed a law that would allow the
production, sale and consumption of cannabis. This is likely to become law in
Switzerland soon.
I understand that in Canada they have a more liberal
approach to marijuana than in the USA. However, I am not entirely sure what the
law is in Canada, so if any Canadian stoners are reading this, please let us
know exactly what the Canadian marijuana laws are?
I hope this helps and
that you enjoy your holiday whether it be in Holland, Belgium or
Switzerland.
Regards,
Dr Hemp.
P.S. If I have left
out any countries where weed is now legal, please
e-mail me so I can amend this
letter and make my holiday arrangements for this year. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
What are the
dangers of doing magic mushrooms? I've heard that it makes your brain bleed. Is
this true?
Regards,
ScOOtEnG18. |
Dear
ScOOtEnG18,
Magic mushrooms are
hallucinogenic fungi which are often thought of as a mild and natural version
of LSD. The greatest danger associated with picking magic mushrooms is knowing
which are the right ones. There are other very similar mushrooms which are
highly poisonous.
There are no long-term effects known and they do not
make the brain bleed. If you are going to do magic mushrooms for the first
time, make sure that you pick them with an experienced caner who will know
which are the right ones.
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
