if anyone has a cutting (preferably in Christchurch) that I could have I will exchange it for beer, or if anyone knows where I could buy a plant I will really appreciate it.

Very hard to find if not impossible. Most of the cultivars are trade supplied only.Originally Posted by SMOKEU

You're looking for a hop plant, singular. Humulus, (Hop) is a small genus of flowering plants native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The female flowers (often called "cones") of H. lupulus are known as hops, and are used as a culinary flavoring and stabiliser, especially in the brewing of beer. The hop is part of the family Cannabaceae, which also includes the genus Cannabis (hemp).
Buy them here http://www.nzhops.co.nz/research.html. I'm a fan of the Riwaka Hop, which stars in Mac's Brewjolais.

In theory it is possible to graft a hops plant to a cannibis stock...gives THC loaded hops!What you gonna use that for then aye
on the up
Is that what you really meant to say?

I'm hardout into the homebrew beer, and growing my own hops would make a welcome addition to my brews. And THC loaded hops sound tempting, I wouldn't mind brewing a chronic beer.What you gonna use that for then aye
Comfortably numb
Having spent time harvesting hops near Nelson a couple of years back I was intrigued to find a huge variation in the fragrance, flavour and pungency of the different hop cultivars. My suggestion would be to sample the different varieties by way of one of NZ Hops hop products before committing to plants.
Incidentally NZ Hops is owned by a group of growers and I suspect they would be resistant to selling growable plant material. There are 17 or so growers of hops in NZ who are all in the greater Nelson area and they have the market pretty much sown up
The association of hops and its close cousin became obvious as the effects of the hops 'essence' started affecting the emotional equilibrium of those harvesting them as the four week season went on
Dried hops have also been long used in pillows as a sleep aid.

If anyone knows where a commercial hops grower is then maybe I should help myself to a few cuttings. It's not like anyone is going to notice.

Ya gota use the Cannabise root stock. I knew a guy who was right into this but he could not get the hop plants to try out.I'm hardout into the homebrew beer, and growing my own hops would make a welcome addition to my brews. And THC loaded hops sound tempting, I wouldn't mind brewing a chronic beer.
As far as I'm aware the law is a bit murky in this area.
Grafted plants are named after the scion not the root stock. As Hitch right posted both the Hop plant and the Cannabise are from the same family so they graft easily.
You would in effect be growing a hop plant, infruse3d for want of a better word with THC. I don't know much about brewing but I would be surprised if the THC is destroyed in fermentation process.
As for the effects of such a brew...................I'll leave that to the brewers.
