DOPE O' SCOPE

SAVE THOSE STEMS

When was the last time you had a really good cup of tea?  Well if you should just happen to have a good double handful of marijuana stems you have the main ingredient for the most far-out brew ever concocted.  You just take a double handful of pot stems, add a small amount of your favorite tea (for flavor) and boil for one hour in about 1 1/2 qts. of water.  Add cream and honey to suit individual taste.  Two or three cups of this exotic delight will be enough to produce euphoria mildly reminiscent of LSD.  Brownies: Boo brownies can be a real delight if prepared right and pretty hard to swallow if prepared wrong.  The real problem consists in getting the goodies out of the grass so that we don't have to use the actual weed in the brownies.  This can be done as follows.  Take whatever amount of butter is required in your brownie recipe and two or three ounces of good grass (if you can spare it) and add a pint or so of water.  Put the entire contents in a sauce pan and bring to a boil.  Continue boiling until water is completely evaporated (this should take more than an hour, if it doesn't, add more water).  You will know when all the water is gone as the butter will snap, crackle and pop in the pan.  When the evaporation is completed take the buttery grass substance and place it in a cheese cloth, squeeze it through the cloth until only the grass remains.  The butter will have a greenish icky look about it but it will also have all the cannabinol (the substance that gets you stoned).  Use the treated butter as you would if you were baking brownies in the conventional manner.  Eat 'em - you'll love 'em.

LETS ALL RETURN TO MOTHER EARTH

Having read numerous articles regarding the planting of seeds I believe the following should prove as effective as any for a good crop.  Moisten seeds in water two or three days prior to planting.  This will allow the hills to crack open so that the seeds can take root.  Select an area that will be exposed to a great deal of sunlight.  Take a pinch of seeds between the thumb and index fingers and push into ground about 1/2 - 1 inch deep, step off a good 30 inch pace and repeat process until supply runs out.  According to Farmers Almanac 1927, 1 - 1 1/2 pounds of seeds to the acre will yield 300-500 pounds of flower tops.  That meas that if you choose to smoke the whole plant you should get about one ton to the acre.  Another recommended method is to plant the seeds in pots and greenhouses; then transplanting the young sprouting plants will ensure their growth outdoors.  One of the advantages of the latter method is that it allows the farmer to plant potten plants in the cold months, transplanting as soon as the ground thaws sufficiently, thus giving the weed a longer growing season.  In any case the plants should be allowed to grow as long as possible.  For instance, plants planted in early April should not be pulled until late Sept. or October.  This ensures a higher quality grass.

MALE & FEMALE

There are many conflicting opinions regarding the male and female plants.  However, it is generally agreed that for a higher grade of marijuana, the male plants should be separated from the female as soon as their sex can be determined.  The male can be identified by his larger size and white flowering tops as opposed to the yellow flowers of the female.  It is said that both male and female species are smokable but the female in an unpollenated state is by far superior to the male and well worth the extra work and sacrifice.  Curing the plant is done the same as curing tobacco.  The plants should be pulled (not cut) to preserve the plant resin and hung for at least two weeks upside down in a relatively moisture-free environment.  It is preferable to maintain a 75-80 degree temperature while curing but not altogether necessary.  Sheets or other materials should be placed underneath the curing plants to catch seeds, pollen and resin that may drip or drop from the plants (A great deal of hashish can be gathered this way.)  Two weeks should be the minimum curing time.  A month or more is considered desirable.

The first 8-10 inches of the plant should be cut away upon completion of the curing process.  This is the best quality grass and consists mostly of flower tops.  (The higher up on the plant the better the grade of grass.)  The rest can be cut and graded as desired.  If bricks are wanted the gras can be placed in a cinder block compressor or (a little bit of sugared water will help to bind it together and it won't spoil the grass).

PLANT!

Plant those seeds in any case.  We owe it to ourselves and our fellow man to give back to mother earth some of that which we have taken from her so that others may partake and enjoy the fruits there-of.  Planting seeds is an act of faith in the planet that has given us life and an act of love for the people that dwell on this planet with us.

BEWARE: Again

BEWARE:

Again some of the undesirable elements of the old dope world in its never-ending quest for wealth have been capping up a substance known on the patent drug market at Asthmador.  The chief ingredient of Asthmador is Belladonna and if swallowed in large enough quantities can cause heavy sickness and possibly death, both of which are very bad highs.  Most of this is being passed off as psylocybin, natural mushroom, etc.  It is usually capped in 00 (double 0) caps and the story is that two caps equals one dose.  The trip is expensive and in most cases a bummer every time not to mention a potential danger to your physical health.  Psylocybin in itself is really great and I personally recommend it to everyone.  Swallow it, smoke it, it's beautiful.  Just be sure you know your source.
