Dear
Dr Hemp,
Nine months ago
a friend gave me a huge skunk bong topped off with 0.25grm of what he called
"businessman's lunch". I have since found out that it is really known as DMT.
All I can say is WOW!!! This stuff is fuckin' awesome.
Within a few
seconds I had completely left this physical realm. I did not know where I ended
or anything else began. It was not scary as scary did not exist, fuck, even
normal thoughts no longer existed. After twenty or so minutes I rapidly began
coming home and all this without a passport!
It was during this period
of coming together that I heard a male voice saying "find Dr Hemp" and I have
tracked you down at last. Perhaps you could e-mail me anything you know about
DMT, especially where I could obtain some more.
Cheers,
Manda. |
Dear
Manda,
DMT is
ever present in your brain's biochemistry and is released in times of deep
relaxation, sleep or death.
DMT is one of the most powerful psychoactive
substances known to man and it induces astral-projection. It is a mind blowing
experience that should irreversibly alter people's perceptions of the nature of
reality and themselves.
Hopefully the business classes who are
indulging in lunchtime DMT sessions will wake up to the realisation as to why
they are taking powerful self-realisation tools in the first place.
If
upon experimenting with DMT they give up their mundane life of corporate
slavery, resign their positions and end up wearing a grass skirt living with a
pygmy tribe in Southern Peru, then job done.
If you wish to experiment
with DMT then I advise you to look for natural and cheaper sources of DMT, such
as Caapi or Yopo. However, a word of caution from a Peruvian Indian shaman
friend of mine who believes DMT should only be taken in the forest with sacred
intent and was very dubious of westerners dabbling with DMT for recreational
purposes, warning a person could lose their soul if taken inappropriately.
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
What an amazing
site.I've been looking for someone like you forever. Been toking for most of my
life - I'm only months off fifty. The attitude of intolerance in this country
has meant that nice middle-class ladies like me aren't allowed to do things
like this. Hopefully, we are all about to see some understanding of
it.
Instead of all the hysteria. Labour haven't kept their promise to
decriminalise or legalise - but even I'm impressed that tonight we have a chat
room to discuss the topic.
Regards to all.
Keep toking.

Dear
Chillin'the noo,
Thank you
for your letter. I am glad you like the web site.
I suggest that
everyone bombards Number 10 Downing Street with letters and e-mails stating
that we are sick of being classed as criminals because we enjoy the wonderful
weed.
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
My plants are
starting to mature; the bud is starting to turn brownish red. I have heard that
you should stop feeding them nutrients 2 to 3 weeks before they are ready to
harvest. Is this true? If so, how do I know when to do this?
Thanks,
James.
P.S. Fantastic
site, keep up the good work. |
Dear
James,
Generally, I have
always gone for 4 weeks from the end to stop feeding and flush with plenty of
water.
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
What's up Dr
Hemp? I go to your website every single day. Got good shit in here. Sorry, I am
so faded right now. But anyways, I was wondering if eating breaks your high or
if it has ANY effect on my high what so ever? Cause usually if I have any food
on me, I wait until I smoked to eat it. I save all my cold pizzas and candy for
a nice sack. Good shit.
Thanks,
IxJeNniFeRxl. |
Dear
IxJeNniFeRxl,
In my humble
opinion it enhances the high and smoking pot always gives me the munchies.
Regards,
Dr
Hemp.
P.S. If you're eating hash cookies or skunk omelettes it
definitely enhances the high. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I have decided
to start a fairly big grow room. I need a few pointers, especially on the
smell. Is there any way to contain the smell of growing marijuana?
I
would really appreciate your advice,
Sam. |
Dear
Sam,
Go for an ionising
extractor fan, which will negate the smell.
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
After having
bought and used too many (expensive) crap drugs here in London (I'm from
Holland, I'm used to quality), I decided to go back to my favourites ...
mushrooms. To my surprise I found out they are legal to grow here. Do you know
of any places where I can either buy mushrooms or find the material to grow
them?
Thanks,
Yves. |
Dear
Yves,
Magic mushrooms are not
ilegal in the UK, as the mushrooms themselves are not a controlled substance.
However, if they are prepared or somehow altered by the hand of man then they
may become illegal.
If you want to buy mushrooms then you can even buy
fresh ones on the Internet or from head shops around the UK. Otherwise, you can
pick them for free, as there are many psilocybin mushrooms that grow in the
wild in the British Isles. The most common magic mushroom to be found in
Britain is the Liberty Cap, which generally grows from September to November.
In my neck of the woods Dartmoor is a particularly good area for shrooming. For
more information about magic mushroom grow areas in Britain, check out
UK Magic Mushroom
Map.

Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I have recently
begun to grow my own plant outdoors. I began the growing process in a small
flowerpot and I will transfer into a bigger pot once it gets more mature. My
plant is about three weeks in the soil and it is growing very noticeable
leaves. The problem with the plant that has been occurring lately is that I am
starting to notice that one of the tips of the leaves is dried up and dead
looking and on a smaller leaf there is an oval shaped brown blotch. I was
wondering if this could be a heat condition or something more serious? It would
be a big help if you could inform me if I am doing anything wrong or what seems
to be the problem.
Thanks,
Anto. |
Dear
Anto,
It may be a bug infection.
If so, try spraying the plants with a mild soapy water solution. If this does
not work, I advise trying again with new plants.
Have a look through my
past questions for more growing tips.
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I'm a 42 year
old male that wants to be in my son's life, but the courts say I have no rights
because I smoke pot. Is this right and can you help?
Thanks,
Heitzjon. |
Dear
Heitzjon,
No, this is not right!
However, I regret that I'm unable to help. Speak to your solicitor, not me, and
if he is not sympathetic then you will need to change your solicitor.
Good luck,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
My father was
recently tested for drugs. The test came back positive for THC. My dad hasn't
smoked any marijuana in a long time, over a month. How is this possible?
Cheers,
Terry. |
Dear
Terry,
Yes this is possible.
THC can stay in your system for up to 90 days - see my past archives for more
information on this subject and this goes for all the other people who have
recently sent questions about drug testing, detox formulas, how long THC stays
in your system, etc.,
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I am looking to
make some oil with about 2 ½ ounces of hydroponics weed. It is already
grinded up, and I have bought the ISOPROPANOL 99%. What next?
Thanks,
John. |
Dear
John,
Basically, you need to
put the IPA with the weed and then deflux the solution normally 2 or 3 times at
least for good purity. Generally you need quite a large amount of base weed and
don't think this is an easy thing to do.
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
Here in the US
its about to be summer and I was thinking of buying an ounce for the summer. Do
you think that will be enough for two people who only smoke like once a
week?
Regards,
Guy. |
Dear
Guy,
Yes that should be plenty.
Have a great summer and if you run out of pot, you can always buy some
more.
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
Really great
site. I was just wondering how police detect weed growing outdoors with
helicopters and how many plants does it take for the copter to pick them
up?
Thanks,
Blktrtl420. |
Dear
Blktrtl420,
If the police are
finding weed from their helicopters, then I should suggest growing the plants
further apart, as opposed to clumped together. The climate here in England is
not good enough for outdoor growing, so we don't have that particular
problem.
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
Hello, I was
reading through the website and was wondering how the whole bud smoking scene
is over there (I'm from the US). If I was to take a trip to England, is there a
good chance of just running into some cool pot smokers? If so, how is the pot
over there? Thanx.
Sincerely,
Curious of International Bud. |
Dear
Curious,
If you come to England
you are bound to meet some pot smokers (guaranteed in Totnes). The pot over
here can be quite good if you know where to find it.
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
My question is
about "doing the blades" or hot knives. Do many people prefer to use blades
these days or do they rather puff a doobie? What would you answer
be?
Thanks,
Chewbacca. |
Dear
Chewbacca,
I believe that
puffing a doobie is more sociable. An alternative to using blades is to try hot
tongs.
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
How can I get
seeds because I want to grow some in my woods? What are good strains of
cannabis to use?
Thanks,
MixMasterMoose. |
Dear
MixMasterMoose,
Good outdoor
varieties of cannabis to use are Early Bud or Early Misty as they are hardy
outdoor growers and are available from
Pot
Seeds.
Regards,
Dr Hemp.
P.S. You might have
difficulty growing cannabis in your woods, as I think they need quite a bit of
sunlight. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
My "friend" has
a grow room and all of the leaves are curling upward. The leaves are a light
yellow and I can see the dark green veins in the leaf. What's going
on?
Cheers,
Jakson. |
Dear
Jakson,
I reckon that your
"friend" is over fertilising and I advise just using water for the rest of the
growing cycle. Get back to me if your "friend" still has a problem.
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I live in
Michigan and I want to know how I can tell real weed apart from look-alikes
that don't work.
Please help me I'm desperate,
Bocibus. |
Dear
Bocibus,
It is possible to tell by
smell and of course by smoking it. I suggest either growing your own or finding
a good supplier (generally the most stoned looking person in your
area).
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I'm a little
brain dead right now (but of course I'm stoned so that explains it), but I'm
not that smart with weed, all I know is that it's illegal (who gives a fuck),
you smoke it, and its good. What I want to know is, can you OD on it? Stupid
question, but I have to know.
Thanks,
Stoner Girl. |
Dear
Stoner Girl,
To the best of my
knowledge, I don't believe there has ever been one recorded fatal overdose from
marijuana. The worst you're likely to get is a whitey.
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I have just
started growing hemp yesterday inside. I am giving it 12 hours of light and 12
hours of darkness. I also water it 3 times a day and I put about 10 seeds in
one growing container I am just asking you, will it grow and if it does, how
long will it take?
Thanks,
Kyle. |
Dear
Kyle,
Firstly, change the
lighting time to 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness. After 2 weeks, you
should drop the lighting down to 12 hours of light for the next 10
weeks.
Water the plants every 3 to 4 days instead of every day and
separate all plants once they are more than 2 inches
high.
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
Hi me again. I
just want to know. After your first puff or two, is it possible to get any
higher if you keep on smoking?
Thanks,
JBuggie. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
Greetings and
blessings. I have read previous entries about cleansing THC from the system. I
smoke about a joint/ bong hit a day. I would like to know if drinking Green Tea
or taking Wood Root Tonic would detox my system in time?
Also, what are
some "sure fire" methods for cleaning out your system when you have a urine
test in a matter of a week or two that you can share?
Your response is
valued,
Puff Baggswell. |
Dear
Puff Baggswell,
Yes, these can
work the same way as other products that I have previously mentioned on this
site. However, don't forget to also drink plenty of water and remember that
these methods are only short term.
"Sure fire" methods for cleaning out
your system are detox formulas such as
Test
Clear.
Regards,
Dr Hemp
P.S. Please no more
'drug test' questions, as I've already answered this subject in some detail.
The only drug testing I do is in the quality control area. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I have been
smoking gear for 25 years; do you think this will have long-term effects on my
short-term memory?
Please "lose" my address, not for publication, I
have to leave Colombia at the end of May and come back to the UK (end of my
visa) and have some good articles and photos of loads of drug/weed related
stuff.
Colombia can be classed as a good place to go for a smoke, but be
careful, the law are pretty shitty.
Many thanks,
Mr A. |
Dear
Mr A,
I'm sure I
know this one, but I don't seem to be able to remember the answer.
Good
luck with your trip to Columbia, please e-mail us some photos for our pot
gallery.
Regards,
Dr
Hemp.
P.S. Don't worry, we don't publish e-mails if you ask us not to
and we can still forward any comments on to you. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
This is
probably a stupid question but can you buy mushrooms at a local supermarket and
then do something to them to get the same effects as psychedelic shrooms?
Thanks so much,
Meg. |
Dear
Meg,
Sadly, I'm afraid not.
This is where living near Dartmoor is a definite bonus.
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
Could you
please get tell me the best way to store pollen. Please get back to me on this
one.
Thanks,
Alan. |
Dear
Alan,
Basically you want
a sturdy sealed box stored in a cool dark corner (not in the fridge though).
Regards,
Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
Does visine
work along with niacin to fool a urine test.
Regards,
Strawb. |
Dear
Strawb,
No, use some proper
products that I have already mentioned on this site.

Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
How often do I
feed with Miracle Grow?
What is the easiest way to tell male from female
and should I take them out? I have two plants that are three inches apart.
Thanks,
ChiToLo4u. |
Dear
ChiToLo4u,
To start with, I
advise using tomato food rather than Miracle Grow, as I have always found that
Miracle Grow leaves a tainted flavour in the grass, which I don't find very
pleasant.
The female plant has white sticky flowers that look like a
thick short hair and the male plant has more traditional bell shaped flowers.
If you want sensi, I suggest removing the male plant if you have one and place
in separate large pots.
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I'm growing
weed now and I was wondering how much smokable weed I can get out of one plant.
Right now I have 13 plants and I just wanted to know how much weed that is.
Sorry if this is a stupid question.
Permastone . |
Dear
Permastone,
You should be
able to get from 2 - 5 ounces per plant. You will get more if you use
CO2.

Dr
Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
What is the

It's pollen that

Dear
Dr Hemp,
I heard that if
you put dried buds in a veggie steamer for like 10 seconds they become twice
the size and are more dank and so on and so on ... is this true?
If so
can you give some details on the process?
Thanks,
A Dry Smoker . |
Dear
Dry Smoker,
Please don't do this,
as this is very similar to using a vaporiser and I am sure it does not make the
smoke any stronger. What's more important? Quality or
quantity?
Regards,
Dr Hemp. |
Dear
Dr Hemp,
I was just
curious if you know exactly how long it takes to get THC out of your system?
And is there a way that I could speed up that process without having to pay
like 40 bucks for a cleansing drink that only works after 5 hours? I am trying
to get a job that requires a drug test. Please answer back as soon as you can.
Thanks,
BLANKBYTE. |
Dear
BLANKBYTE,
As I've already
answered in previous questions (it might be an idea to read the site first
before asking questions that I have already answered) it takes between 14 and
90 days for THC to stay in your system, depending on how much you've been
consuming. The only methods to pass a drugs test are short term; you can buy
detox formulas or use cranberry juice and water - read my past archives for
more information.
Regards,
Dr Hemp.
P.S. Can people who
visit this site please check my past archive of answers before asking me a
question, as my e-mail box is getting full of messages asking the same
questions that have already been answered. |
