Dear Dr Hemp,

Is it possible or easy to grow the outdoor breeds from "The Sensi Seed Company" or is the UK weather not good enough? Also, are most of these seed banks online reliable?

Thanks,

Ken.

Dear Ken,

Yes it is possible to grow outside in the UK, in fact there are tens of thousands of people who do every year and I therefore urge you all to get planting.

If you are going to plant outside in the UK, you really should think about planting them now or by the end of May (preferably before). A good tip is to germinate them indoors before you plant them outside, though this is not essential.

Find a good sunny outdoor spot, which will not draw any unwanted attention and ideally near a convenient water supply. I am lucky enough to live in beautiful Devon where there are thousands of secret locations where this is done. Soon our government will be forced to listen to majority opinion in the UK and legalise cannabis so you can openly grow the plant. Who knows, you may even win first prize at the local garden show.

The seeds from the Sensi Seed Bank are absolutely fine, though they are very expensive, as you are paying for the name. Despite what Sensi say, they are not the only producer of F1 seeds and you can get equally good results from other seed producers who don't charge such extortionate prices.

A particular favourite of mine are K.C. Brains who won the Dutch Weed Cup in 2001 with their Haze special. So if you are planning to grow a lot of cannabis (either outdoors or indoors) then why not save yourself some money and buy your F1 seeds from www.potseeds.co.uk instead of Sensi Seeds.

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

I got me a real problem here. At my last stoning session, three of my mates pulled whities after a mere 12 j's and 3 bongs, the rest paled out after a further lung and a 'shroom tea bong. I was just starting to buzz at this time, so I had to finish off the session with an A4-sized resin spliff to myself. How the hell can I increase my mates' capacity for da green?

Please help.

Yours,

Uge Tonker.
P.S. Anyone want some prime Orange Skunk?

Dear Uge Tonker,

What the fuck is wrong with your mates? You are not the first person to bring to my attention the problem of lightweight kids who are unable to smoke cannabis properly without turning green.

I blame the parents, teachers and our politicians for failing to provide leadership on this important issue.

For thousands of years our elders have shown us the way and it's only in modern times that drugs have been made illegal.

Tony Blair was in a rock band while at university in the 1960s and says he never took drugs. What is wrong with the man? It's hardly surprising with leadership qualities like that; all your mates are such wooses who can't handle their drugs properly. At least George Bush was a cokehead and alcoholic in his younger days, though having said that, I don't trust him either.

Get your mates some amphetamines (speed, ecstasy, etc.,) which should increase their capacity to smoke and drink more without pulling a whitie.

If they still continue to be lightweights then at least there will be more drugs left for you to consume; perhaps you need to find some more hardcore mates?

Regards,

Dr Hemp.
P.S. Yes, I'd love some primo orange bud, please e-mail me an ounce or two!

Dear Dr Hemp,

I am selling really shitty weed. Is there any way I can make this shitty weed look really good?

Regards,

Harpness.

Dear Harpness,

I think you are a bit of a cunt for selling shitty weed in the first place and even more of a cunt for asking me how to make it look good so you can fob it off onto some unsuspecting mug.

Throw away your shitty weed and get some proper cannabis. It's wankers like you that give cannabis users a bad name. I hope you get busted and a decent dealer takes your place.

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

Have you tried Datura?

I have. I did about 12 pods boiled down in water. The shit grows wild in Arizona. I am lucky to be alive. I was in hospital ICU and restrained for 3 days. I even have scars (10 years later) from the restraints on ankles and wrist.

But man oh man, I had some interesting visions and I have never felt the same since. I was just wondering if you have ever tried Datura?

Regards,

Mike.

Dear Mike,

No, I've never tried Datura (Jimson Weed, Devil's Weed) and I'm not sure if I am brave enough to try it.

I know people who have taken Datura (it grows in the wild here in Devon too) and I've heard varying opinions on its effects and outcome; most of them like you said they never felt the same again. I think it's bizarre how this incredibly dangerous hallucinogen is completely legal, while soft drugs like marijuana remain prohibited in much of the world.

There is a story of a poor guy who consumed some datura that was growing outside the offices of Torbay Borough Council and subsequently jumped to their death from a multi-story car park in Paignton.

If anyone is searching for more information on this hallucinogenic plant then I suggest looking on the Erowid Datura Vault where there is quite a lot of information, which should probably put people off trying it.

Datura has been used for thousands of years and despite what I've said, I have friends who claim to have enjoyed it. It's certainly not a toy and to be honest, I don't think I'll ever do it, yet you never know?

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

Any chance upon us getting married? I've always had a thing for cannabis smoking brits.

Yours,

Ashley (USA).

Dear Ashley,

I'm not sure. How rich are you? Please send a photograph and personal C.V.

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

Please help. I've just inherited 4 small seedlings. As beautiful as they may be, it appears that they are contaminated with tiny bugs (spit bugs) and some leaf tips are wilted and brown. These plants where grown outdoors but we moved them inside. They are only about 2 - 3 inches tall. What should I do?

Yours sincerely,

Glenn.

Dear Glenn,

Neem oil is probably the best way to get rid of your bugs. Neem is a botanical insecticide from a tree native to the Middle East. It is 100% organic and completely safe as it is non-toxic to humans and animals.

For more information, visit www.starlitesystems.co.uk/pest_control/

Another method is to use a very mild solution of soapy water, yet if they are contaminated with lots of tiny bugs, I think Neem is your best bet.

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

Can you be prosecuted if you fail a drug test in the US?

Thanks,

Patrick.

Dear Patrick,

In the UK, where I live, you cannot be prosecuted for any drugs that are found to be in your system; for example if the Police caught you with a few ecstasy pills, they could prosecute you for possession of a class A drug, however, if you managed to neck your sweeties before the police could get their hands on them, they would be powerless to do anything other than watch you get loved up after multi-dropping your happy beans (not to be done if you have a bag full). They can still arrest you if you have not managed to eat all your weed (have you ever tried eating neat bud? It's almost impossible), but that's another story and soon they won't even be able to do that in the UK.

I do not know for certain what the situation is in the USA, as I am English, yet I should imagine it is probably similar to the UK.

However, if you are under orders from the courts not to do drugs and then fail a drug test you could get into trouble, so this is when our very good friends at Test&nbspClear come in most handy.

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Proven Drug Testing Solutions

Dear Dr Hemp,

I have heard about this plant called salvia divinorum and its hallucinogenic effects, I've just got in touch with some one that can get me some but the only thing is I don't have a pipe or a bong? Only have Rizlas so I wonder if you can help me out and tell me how to roll it in Rizla, pure or with tobacco?

Yours sincerely,

Ravi.

Dear Ravi,

Salvia divinorum is a plant that can be used for its psychoactive effects. It is a unique high that produces different levels of intoxication, depending on how much is consumed.

You will have to get your hands on a pipe or bong, as salvia should be smoked hot (hotter than tobacco is) in order for salvinorin to be vaporized. Hold the smoke in your lungs for 20 -30 seconds before exhaling; otherwise much of the smoke will be wasted.

Salvia is legal in all countries except Australia, if anybody is interested in buying some salvia then a good source is www.potseeds.co.uk/salvia/.

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

Firstly may I compliment you on a fantastic site with loads of useful info for growers in the UK, keep up the good work!

I have been a very regular user of the weed/hash for about 11 years now and plan to keep on smoking for eternity, however my question is not drugs related. My lovely lady and I were in Salcombe last year and also Plymouth and we fell in love with it from the start. We very nearly moved to Plymouth in September as London is wearing me out, I'm 27, Scottish (Isle of Islay) and lived in London for 5 years. My girlfriend and I have had enough, all we want to do is smoke, party and relax on a beach, not get run over, pushed and cussed by money mad freaks who constantly do 200 miles an hour, in and out of the car!

What is the housing situation like in Totnes or the surrounding areas? Are there any jobs in the area for a young man like me?

I know this isn't your average request for info but I have faith in you!

Peace and light,

Matt.

Dear Matt,

Thank you for compliments, I'm glad this web site is putting Totnes on the map for something positive.

If you want to get away from that 200 mph London lifestyle then Devon might well be the place for you, as long as you are aware it only moves at 2 mph down here.

Salcombe is a most beautiful place, though sadly full of Tories and retired military types. Plymouth is more urban, yet it has a very vibrant nightlife and there are some lovely characters to be found. I know a lot of Americans visit this site, so they should find Plymouth a very interesting city, as it is where many of the first American settlers originated (apologies to the American Indians).

House prices in Devon are as high as I am most of the time; sadly this is due to rich people largely from London buying holiday homes, which they use for about 2 weeks of the year. Rented accommodation is available in Totnes, but good places are hard to find and usually get taken on very quickly.

The job situation in Devon is not good either, with many employers paying minimum wage. However, due to the huge demand for good quality drugs in this area, there is always room for drug dealers and growers. Apparently, if you do this, it's possible to have a very comfortable lifestyle and have all the time in the world to laze about on the beach or even go for a picnic up on Dartmoor.

The best nightlife in Devon is to be found in Plymouth or Exeter; there are clubs in Torquay, but you might find them a bit cheesy. Dartmouth Regatta is always a good laugh too, especially if you're high on hallucinogenic drugs (they do a great firework display).

In addition to the clubbing scene, there is a thriving outdoor free party scene here in the South West of England and it has to be said there are some extremely good drugs on offer if you know the right people.

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,Dumb question

I would like to know if there is THC in the plant catnip?

Regards,

Cron.

Dear Cron,

No, there is no THC in the plant catnip. Gee, some of our readers are thick as shit and of course you win some soap-bar from Torquay, which won't contain a great deal more THC than your catnip.

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,Dumb question

Is it true that if you smoke hemp you'll trip?

Regards,

Tony.

Dear Tony,

Depends if you smoke industrial hemp or primo bud, you fool. Some people will smoke anything, even catnip it would seem.

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

My name is Andrea Schilder and I am currently doing research on ecstasy as part of my honours thesis in psychology at University of New England, Australia. I am basically looking at the long-term effects of ecstasy use in terms of mood and impulsivity. It would be great if I could post a link to your site. Participants will only have to complete an online questionnaire anonymously and I am looking for participants from any country who either have or haven't used ecstasy. The study has been approved by my university ethics committee and neither condones or discourages drug use. Please contact me [email protected] with your reply.

Thanks heaps,

Andrea.

Dear Andrea,

Having consumed a fair amount of ecstasy over the previous decade I feel qualified to answer your question.

I personally have not experienced bad mood swings from MDMA, it's only ever made me feel good. I've also noticed the high quality MDMA rather than cheap pills seem to have the least ill side-effects.

There was an interesting article recently in New Scientist that suggested there was no evidence to suggest MDMA produces irreversible brain damage. It also said other legally prescribed antidepressants such as Valium, Prozac, etc., worked in similar ways to MDMA and millions of people take these every day.

In fact, such reports are nothing new, though they are usually suppressed or refused funding if they do not sing the same tune as the American or British Governments.

I hope other ecstasy users reading this site take part in your survey; feel free to e-mail me a copy. Also, if you encounter any decent clean MDMA in your studies, please e-mail it to [email protected] (for research purposes of course, I am the Dr ya know).

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

I was wondering if you had any advice on how to bring skunk back from Amsterdam I have been told that if I seal it in a plastic bag and put the bag in a pot of hair gel I am safe from the noses of annoying fucking sniffer dogs. Any advice?

Regards,

Henath Maginti.

Dear Henath Maginti,

If you're only bringing back a personal amount then perhaps you should waltz though customs as if it were legal anyway and if you get stopped, tell them you heard marijuana had recently been legalised in Britain too.

If you must be more cautious then I suggest returning to the UK via any place other than Holland. France is a good route I hear. Beware of using items that dogs are repelled by as their handlers are trained to recognize signs of this from the animals. One of the best ways of smuggling into the country is in your petrol tank (with your ganja thrice wrapped of course, use plastic cola bottles so it floats on the top and their optical cameras can't see it). Another way to do it (and this is something that Customs hates) is in coffee, it is impossible for a dog to smell anything through coffee.

You could always bring back some F1 cannabis seeds (which are legal in Britain) and grow lots of cannabis in the UK anyway. Fuck the law, coz it's crap.

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

I'm rather partial to a bit of Bob Dylan when having a lonely smoke. Which musical artists would you recommend for pot heads?

Also, I'm a bit of a film buff with my favorite film now being Fallen with Denzal Washington as he battles against a demon called Azazel ,winning the fight by having a smoke at the end of the film and stopping the demon possessing his soul (this film is HIGHLY recommended smokers). Are you aware of any particularly good films in your area of expertise?

Yours sincerely,

Ben.

Dear Ben,

Earlier Bob Dylan is fine on occasion, however, since I discovered ecstasy, my Bob Dylan CD's are rarely played (a bit like my guitar these days).

I like dance music, such as, house, drum & bass, some hip hop and trip hop, etc., I'm even partial to some classical music at times (try out Ravel).

Music that should be avoided by recreational drug users at all costs include Cliff Richard, Craig David, Usher, Victoria Beckham and anything associated with Pop Idol.

I like films too. I recently saw Lord Of The Rings, which I thought was excellent. Favourite films are of course Fear and Loathing In Los Vegas and Saving Grace

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

I live in the shit town of Buckfastleigh as I am sure you know about and I want to grow some weed. I think I have conned my parents into thinking I am going to grow some look alike weed (the stuff they make clothes out of) but I am very skint for money, do you think I could grow some for under £20. Do you know if I could use standard strip lights or cheap halogens?

Please could you help.

Thanks for your time,

Ben.

Dear Ben,

Well done for conning your parents into thinking you are going into the hemp fabric industry. Either you have the gift of the gab or you have incredibly stupid parents.

Ideally, if you want to grow good quality cannabis, you'll need to purchase some indoor gardening equipment. Why don't you take a trip to Plymouth and visit the shop of Starlite Systems who should be able to sort you out the best equipment you need to grow indoors. It is possible to set up a basic indoor grow room for around £120, however, the more you spend, the better the returns will be.

If you are unable to make this initial investment then I suggest buying some outdoor seeds. It's not too late to plant them and as you live in Buckfastleigh, I know there are plenty of discreet places where you could grow a few cannabis plants. If you plant some outdoors seeds now, they should be ready in late September/ early October and hopefully you'll be able to make enough money to buy some indoor gardening equipment to keep you going through the winter.

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

Wicked site mate, I just wanted to ask you a few questions about your boot gunk recipe.

If I had say 5 banana skins how much wine and nutmeg should I use? I heard that nutmeg is very strong if you use too much.

Do you chop up the banana skin into fine dust or little bits? I'm guessing that you don't need the Worcester Sauce if you're preparing it to smoke. True?

And a couple of other things.

I'm living in Malta at the minute (I've had to make do with hash for the last 6 months, I'm dying for some bud!) but am moving back to England in June do you know of any decent outdoor raves this summer time in the south?

Finally, do you know any other ideas for things I can get high off in my mum's kitchen? (I'm bored and skint until I move back).

By the way not all us younger generation are complete lightweights like some of the kids that have been sending you messages saying that they're still high a week after having a smoke and shit like that.

Take it easy mate,

Andrew.

Dear Andrew,

It's pleasing to know that not all the younger generation are lightweights and you are into hardcore drugs such as Sailor's Banana Boot Gunk.

The Worcester Sauce is not essential, yet I find it enhances the flavour, Tabasco Sauce may also be used. 5 Bananas, half a bottle of rice wine (you can drink the rest) and a few grams of nutmeg should do the trick. Did you know you could get very wasted by eating nutmeg alone, if you can keep it down?

There are plenty of legal highs out there, though be warned, some hallucinogenic plants, such as Datura, are also poisonous. If you're looking for something from your mum's kitchen then may I suggest snorting nutmeg and orange peel zest. I've also heard inserting a raw garlic up your anus can make you trip; I've never tried this, please let me know if it works.

I'm sure there will be plenty of decent outdoor raves in England this summer, if you find out about any, please let me know. Maybe you'll be able to buy some proper drugs at one of these events.

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

I love the site.

I have one question. I live in a college dorm and just got this great bong.

The problem is that my RA isn't cool with smoking and I've already been busted. Any suggestions as to how I can smoke out of my bong and hide the smell?

Thanks,

Sienna.
P.S. I've already tried spoofs, opening the window, and putting a towel under the door.

Dear Sienna,

Here are 10 options for you:
  1. Smoke salvia divinorum in your bong instead, as this is legal and he may tire of busting you if this is all he finds in your room. Salvia will get you more wasted than cannabis anyway.
     
  2. Spike his drink with LSD and laxatives (just for fun), he'll either go nuts, shit himself and get the sack or become more understanding in future.
     
  3. Find out his phone number and print it on rent boy cards and distribute them in local phone boxes and public toilets (just for fun).
     
  4. Threaten him with physical violence, blow some smoke in his face and tell the knob-end to fuck off and die! (My preferred option.)
     
  5. Buy some joss sticks and leave the windows open.
     
  6. Smoke soap-bar and argue with your RA that there is hardly any cannabis in it anyway.
     
  7. Spread a nasty rumour about him and young boys, easy to do and everyone loves campus gossip.
     
  8. Spread a nasty rumour about his heroin addiction, easy to do and everyone loves campus gossip.
     
  9. Plant some heroin and some child porn on him a few weeks after the rumours have spread and call the police.
     
  10. Eat him.
I hope these suggestions help you get this interfering twat off your case.

Regards,

Dr Hemp.

Dear Dr Hemp,

I have never done weed and I am 15. My whole family has been addicted to it. I have been offered to buy some and smoke it but have never done so. I feel I am now ready to buy some. How do I know if I am getting ripped off?? And how much is a dime? What do I do with it after I get it? (I know smoke it, but how?)

Thanx,

Kelly.

Dear Kelly,

I get many letters from 15 year olds who don't know how to smoke weed properly. I remember what it was like at your age, trying to look cool and all that stuff, but why don't you just ask your parents, they sound like a right bunch of groovers.

Remember, don't be embarrassed to discuss your drug habit with your folks, if they are good parents, they'll teach you the correct way to be a waster. Ask them if they can get some ketamine for you and a few friends, just for a laugh.

You know you're being ripped off when you get so desperate as to buy some soap-bar off a scouser in a Torquay pub. Get your older brothers and sisters to introduce you to their dealers and maybe even start dealing yourself. Who wants a normal job anyway?

Regards,

Dr Hemp.
P.S. I've no idea how much a dime is stupid; I live in England and have very little cents!

Dear Dr Hemp,

I cannot believe you have this type of web site out there for kids, this is absurd and to help junkies pass a drug test! I better not ever catch an email on my system again from you or any other member you are associated with.

A concerned parent with enough problems dealing with child and I don't need this crap!

Dear Over Concerned Parent,

First of all, if you do not wish to receive e-mails from me, I strongly suggest you do not send me e-mails from the address [email protected]. If this is your e-mail address and someone else has used it without your permission then I advise you set-up a password on your system so nobody else can read or access your e-mail. This is not hard to do.

Furthermore, my web site is for recreational drug users of all ages. I should also like to add there is a big difference between a marijuana user and a junkie. Alcohol and tobacco are more dangerous than THC, yet would you class users of the aforementioned substances as junkies?

I believe a person should be judged on their ability and not their lifestyle, therefore I make no apology whatsoever for helping recreational drug users to pass a drug test, after all, these tests are easy to fool and I hope the original sender of this e-mail correspondence succeeds in doing so.

Perhaps if you did a bit of research on recreational drugs yourself, you wouldn't have so many problems in dealing with your child? Feel free to further read my site for more education, good luck!

With regards to e-mails from [email protected] on your system, you shall not receive any further correspondence from me, unless you specifically reply to this e-mail. However, I intend to publish the e-mail you sent on my web site when I next update the letters page, so you may receive further correspondence from some readers of my site.

Regards,

Dr Hemp.
P.S. To all my letter writers, please state if you do not wish your e-mail to be published on this site and remember requests for removal are always honoured if you ask nicely. Furthermore, can kids please not use their parents' e-mail and set up a Hotmail account instead, as I don't really appreciate e-mails from irate battleaxes in America; this is not the first time this has happened.

Dear Dr Hemp,

I am an old hippie that grew up on mushrooms in the 70's. Cool! Now my 15 year old wants to try them, but I am having a hard time finding a photo of what the right ones look like. Do you have any pics of shrooms from the area I am in? Florida, USA.

Thank and peace,

Cindy.

Dear Cindy,

I am not the best person to ask about magic mushrooms in the USA as I live in England and I've never been to the USA in my life (though I do want to go to the Burning Man Festival in Nevada, as this sounds like a real hoot).

There are some shroom pics on the magic mushroom pages on this site and of course a search on Google should find you plenty of information.

I think you are a cool mother and a responsible parent for making sure your son/daughter does not poison (her)himself. Most teenagers would probably try magic mushrooms regardless of what their parents think, so I believe your honest relationship with your teenager means (s)he probably won't do anything stupid behind your back.

Has (s)he got a birthday coming up soon? Perhaps you should buy your teenager some cannabis seeds (and maybe even some hydro equipment) so (s)he can set up his/her own grow-room and learn about plants and nutrients along the way. I think some of the other correspondents on this page could learn a thing or two from you.

Regards,

Dr Hemp.
