Dear
Dr Hemp,
I'm going on
vacation with friends. We're going to Turkey and taking the Plane from
Frankfurt in Germany. I would like to take some Grass or Hash with me, but
don't know how to. What would be the best way?
Thanks,
Henning. |
Dear
Henning,
My advice to you is
don't. Turkish jails are not five star hotels and it's not worth the
risk.
You can buy it in Turkey anyway, because it is a natural growth
area and it will be better than what you can get at home.
Regards,
Dr Hemp.
P.S. Have you
ever seen Midnight Express? |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I've got a
couple of small plants growing that have both started to bud while still quite
small. While both have been very healthy, one has all of a sudden got slightly
wilted leaves and parts of the leaves are yellowing? Any idea what the problem
might be? I can't see any sign of bugs. I liquid fertilize once a week.
Great site, will appreciate your words of wisdom,
Elk. |
Dear
Elk,
Oh good, I love
answering marijuana growth questions, these are more up my
alley.
Recheck room set up and look at fertiliser levels as you could be
over fertilising. Also, if plants do not improve, remove the sickly plant to
another area if possible. Try misting the plans with a very mild soapy water
solution and make sure that you do this when the lights have just gone off, to
make sure you don't get leaf burn.
Check ventilation to make sure there
is air movement, stagnant air is a killer - electric fans are great if you have
one.
Any further problems, drop me another e-mail.
Regards,
Dr Hemp.
P.S. If you
have any luck send me a sample. Failing that, e-mail us a jpeg for the Caned In
Totnes Pot Pic Gallery. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I am allergic
to codeine. I recently read that codeine is one of the main chemical
ingredients in opium. Do you think there is a large enough quantity in opium to
cause me to have an allergic reaction? I haven't ever smoked opium, and I would
like to have an answer to this question before I give it a try.
Thanks,
Phishin. |
Dear
Phishin,
If you're allergic to
codeine then lay off the opiates.

Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I'm a crop
circle and alien researcher and I was wondering if you have ever heard of crop
circles (I'm sure you know what they are) in hemp or opium fields? If you have
please send me a report of them.
Thanks,
Adam. |
Dear
Adam,
Nice to get a letter from
a loony; you (or should that be we?) are not alone!
One of my friends
has laid claim to making many a crop circle in South Devon, while under the
influence of the roughest Devonshire Scrumpy that Devon had to offer. This
stuff is far more potent and dangerous than cocaine, opium or even worse,
Christianity.
I'm not the best person to ask on this subject, as I'm
convinced it was the LSD that did it to me. I'm surprised the aliens haven't
abducted you yet; maybe they only go for the interesting
types?
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
If you smoke a
5 foot plant (skunk for example) that has a high amount of THC in it, do you
think all that smoking can cause some hallucinations?

Dear
Dr Hemp,
I am from South
Africa, did you know we call pot DAGGA in SA, just some useless info.
Cheers,
Andries. |
Dear
Andries,
Thanks for the
contact, I wish I knew you 16 years ago then you could have warned me about my
first wife.

Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I've smoked
weed before, but I've only gotten tokes from friends and stuff. I live in this
really small town and I have no clue where my friends get their pot. I feel
like an idiot asking them, but I'd really like having some of my own smoke. Any
advice on how to find my stuff would be greatly appreciated!
Love the
site,
Maggie. |
Dear
Maggie,
Ask your friends
where they get theirs from, but please be careful.
Happy toking,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I have a friend
who wants to start serving and he asked me "how much herb can I carry with out
being charged for selling" because in the U.S. herb is still illegal. Can you
help me?
Regards,
Freixa. |
Dear
Freixa,
If you're gonna serve, be
prepared to pay the price, however unfair it may be.
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
Here is a
question for you:- I've heard of a guy called Fish. Apparently he can smoke a 5
skin joint in two drags, but must have a pint to accompany! Is this true? Where
can I find him? I wonder if it is in Totnes as I have had experiences of some
great people down that end?
Cheers ... from a blonde haired wild woman
(X-Totnesian),
Jessamy.
P.S. You guys used to
do some great parties! What are the Totnes parties like these days? Have you
still got my red wine stained top? HA hA |
Dear
Jessamy,
The man is a
legend. He has his first White Lightning of the day the same time I have my
first spliff. How good are the Totnes parties these days? Easter was fucking
wicked.
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Queen of Shotties,
Magic
mushrooms or shrooms are hallucinogenic mushrooms. The use of mushrooms dates
back thousands of years to when ancient peoples took them in search of a
`heightened state of consciousness and spiritual insight'. Several different
species of mushroom have hallucinogenic properties. In Britain the most
commonly used magic mushroom is the Psilocybe Semilanceata or Liberty Cap
mushroom.
The effect of magic mushrooms is dependent on their strength
and the context in which they are used, such as where you are and whom you are
with. Caution should be used in respect to dosage, as a large initial dose
could result in unpleasant side effects. The number of Liberty Caps taken is
usually within the range 10-40. However, more experienced caners may take many
more. These effects last for 6-12 hours.
Shrooms are not physically
addictive. They do not have the potential for psychological dependence. If they
are taken for several days in a row, they will cease to have any hallucinogenic
effect. Magic mushrooms may produce feelings of sickness, which are rarely
severe. The most serious problem in taking mushrooms is picking the wrong
kind.
There is plenty of information on the Internet to help caners
identify the right kind of mushroom. Check out
www.shroomery.org and
for UK caners I seriously recommend
www.mushroommap.com.
Also, there are some shroomy pics on the Magic Mushroom
section of Caned In Totnes.
If you are looking for a book on magic
mushrooms then you need look no further than Mushrooms - Psychedelic
Fungi by Peter E. Furst ISBN : 0222014520 (paperback) published by Burke
Publishing. For further information on drug related books, take a look at our
own drugs bibliography on
this site.
I hope this helps and you have a very trippy
time.

Dear
Dr Hemp,
Greetings from
the USA. I was wondering if second hand "smoke" will show up in a drug test and
what are some at remedies for cleansing your system? Any advice will be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason. |
Dear
Jason,
Thank you for writing to
me. Second hand smoke is a difficult defense to failing a drug test. If the
test is 20 ng/ml or greater ... then a second hand smoke defense is very
unlikely. Test results below that might be challanged.
With regards to
remedies for cleansing your system - check out this web site
www.testclear.com. They have
some excellent detox formulas for passing a drugs test and they do work. Also,
take a look at my archives of past questions where you will find more
information on passing a drugs test.

Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
Quick question
here: How exactly do color changing pipes change color? Is it something to do
with them being fumed with gold or silver? I'm a bit clueless here, help me
out.
Thanks,
Ink. |
Dear
Ink,
My name is Frenchy and I am
with Dr Hemp at one of his weekend caning sessions. He has asked me to answer
this, as I've been to the USA and we don't have the same glass colour pipes
here in England, we wish we did.
The maker of the pipe heats certain
parts of the pipe more that others and this results in a colour change after
the resination. This is what I've been told - any US stoners reading this feel
free to e-mail us with more information.
Regards,
Frenchy.
P.S. Any Americans want to
sell glass pipes over here - be my guest! |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
The most herb
I've ever had is two times in a week. The last I had was on Tuesday. Since then
I have been sexually impotent. When will I be able to get an erection once
again?
Many thanks,
James. |
Dear
James,
Dr Hemp is too
stoned to answer - he's not in his normal lucid manner, so I'm answering for
him again.
THC reduces the blood pressure (normally a good thing), this
may have been giving you problems, more likely though, you think it's giving
you problems, which leads to performance related anxiety - a mental condition.
Don't worry mate, smoking marijuana is generally pretty good for you -
smoke away. If you're really worried, marijuana does not stay in your system at
all after three months.
Regards,
Frenchy. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
What is a
spliff and how do I make one?
Regards,
Nemisav. |
Dear
Nemisav,
Dr Hemp is so stoned
that he thinks it's the new name for Jif, therefore I am gonna have to answer
again.
I believe that a spliff is a culinary device used in the
Czechoslovakian pesticide industry. It is also the perpetrator of international
communism.
Regards,
Frenchy. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I've been
smoking weed for a while now at parties and stuff, but only just started
smoking on my own. My problem is that I have my weed, and I have a little
wooden pipe, but I can't light the damn stuff. I put the weed in the bowl, put
a match to it, and nothing. No smoke, no high. What am I doing wrong? Please
help!
Thanks in advance,
Freebird. |
Dear
Freebird,
Wood pipes, for a
start, are not always great, though I do have a nice one, but you're probably
better off with a glass pipe.
Secondly, is your weed wet or dry? If wet,
hang it up for a few days. If you must use a wooden pipe, check that it's not
blocked or got holes in it.
Regards,
Dr Hemp and
Frenchy. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
In your
opinion, what is the best way of cutting up ounces of cannabis resin -
microwave, oven or kettle? Could you please tell me how best to cut up scores
as I always end up making a balls of it!
Regards,
Kenny. |
Dear
Kenny,
Heat in our opinion is
the last option. Heating the pot can burn it (microwave disasters happen, it's
very painful) so if you must heat, then heat the, knife not the
pot.
Cover the hash with a cloth when you cut it, that way any flying
chunks get trapped under it and don't get lost.
Regards,
Dr Hemp and
Frenchy. |
