I read in all sorts of places of the existence of shaman people, I want to meet one and listen to what they have to say about spiritually and religion. I want to experience the taking of psychedelic drugs to reach enlightenment and want to learn the ropes about the whole shaman thing.
What does it mean to be a shaman? How does one become a shaman? I want to know all these things for my personal interest.
I live in Israel, are there shamans in Israel? I would rather speak to one face to face. Maybe I can have a lecture about shamanism in Israel?
I will try to explain shamanism to you; however, you might find understanding this difficult after your compulsory 3 year state military indoctrination with the Israeli Army. If you have not done your military service yet, then get out quick, if you want to take the shamanic journey.
The only surviving shamans are to be found in the last remaining hunter gatherer tribes found in South America, Africa, Australia and Asia. The North American Indians have managed to keep some fragments of their former culture and there is a revival here in the West, although our lineages were broken 1000 - 2000 years ago.
The Jewish system of Kabala is a remnant of the Tree of Life which is a universal belief amongst all pre-civilisation people and simply symbolised the journey of the healer into upper and lower spiritual worlds.
As people changed from hunters to settlers, the healer priests were given positions beyond their station and that is why we have the "go through the motions" vicars, and the like, of the highly stratified and pyramid structured society that we live in.
Maybe there's some old rabbi who's gonna come out of Israel and start wondering around healing people, curing the blind and accidentally wilting trees in the process. They've already tried this once and look at the mess it got us into.
New agers and pop culture have bandied the term shamanism around willy nilly, but they forget that in tribal cultures there are also the sorcerers of the tribe who are desperately trying to make the enemy tribes ill.
Hey doctor, how are you? I'm a South African faithful reader of your old archives since last year. This site kicks ass man especially from KZN genuine Durban Poison memories on Isipingo beach. I'm only into weed and shrooms. If you are looking for a real dagga smokers experience in a caravan on da beach with plenty Indian ladies and lotsa Durban Poison on South Africa's east coast then contact me my brother or even just so that I can send you some bud from here.
My question to you is let's say I had a match box of weed, would three pencil thin joints get me more stoned than one fat king cone?
By the way 7 Rands is about 1 US dollar, which is an amazing price for a matchbox full of seedless lime green Durban Poison. Aren't I lucky that my ancestors colonized this savage land? Blessings from Colony One aka South Africa.

Sounds to me you immigrants are well integrated into savage fuzzy wuzzy land. Thanks for the compliments and the offer to send me some of your Durban Poison in exchange for some de-kaffernated coffee. A sure way to get a letter published is not only high praise, but also gifts of marijuana from around the globe.
I was actually thinking of introducing a new seed strain from the South African Brotherhood called White Power. What do you think?
Obviously smoking all of your Durban Poison in one go in one joint will get you more stoned smoking three pathetic little thin joints, but if your weed is only costing 50 pence (we don't use US dollars in the UK) for a matchbox full of seedless lime green then smoking three big phat joints rammed full of Durban Poison would be the order of the day.
First I would like to say, I have been a reader and fan since,
way way back, (possibly 2002/03, it's hard to remember as I was high on drugs
during those good days). I have now stopped my drug taking although I
occasionally have a line on a night out, other than that I really do not
participate in any drug taking.
I have recently heard of a drink that
certain people in the entertainment industry have been drinking. It is a
codeine based cough medicine mixed with sprite. Now my question is, are there
any cough medicines in the UK that have codeine in them so I can make this
Syrup?

First of all,
thanks for the flattery, this is a sure way to get a letter published on this
site. In fact, thank you for the letter, which is the first I have received
since I decided to reopen my much loved and most informative drugs advice
problem page. A packet of
Dr Hemp's
Seeds is on its way to you, as the prize for being the first letter
published on the New Improved Dr Hemp.
A big massive thank you to the
amazing and all knowing Web Guy for installing a Content Management System, I
now have no excuses for not updating this site and he'll kick my ass if I
don't.
On to your question, I do remember drinking a bottle of Benylin
Night Time with brandy a few years ago which was very weird; I have no idea if
it had codeine in it. I don't recommend it. I think most, if not all, over the
counter cough medicines have had the stuff that makes you high removed from
them these day, and even if you can still find one I'm afraid they add some
disgusting menthol flavour to make it unpalatable in large quantities, which
your letter has bought back nauseous memories of.
If you want to
get back into a bit of recreational drug taking then stick to the weed and
leave the pharmaceuticals well alone.
Dr Hemp has reopened his Internet Drugs Problem Page. As well as publishing archives from the old Caned In Totnes web site, Dr Hemp will answer your questions once again giving his words of wisdom to stoners throughout the world.
Only this time, Dr Hemp is giving away prizes to the best letters published. You could win packets of Dr Hemp's Cannabis Seeds, legal highs, t-shirts and much more ... so get writing.
Not only that, Dr Hemp's problem page is going to be featured in Wasted Comic that is due to be launched and on sale in shops early next year. This is a brand new dope humour comict that will great cartoons, funny characters and contributions from highly respected writers such as Alan Grant. Some of the best questions to Dr Hemp will also appear in print in Wasted.
