get a plastic zip lock bag, soak a paper towel with some water, ring it out so the towel is moist, fold the seeds inside, stick it in a dark place, and leave it alone for a couple days, and check back on it, if u see a white tale coming out, its time to plant them.
k i did it but not the zip lock bag will it still work?
here's a method that has worked well for me so far, and its cheap
get a small cap such as from a pill bottle, wine bottle, etc.
fill cap with distilled water, drop seed in water
place a small night light(4 watt) within 1/2 inch of cap, keeps water temperature just right
fertile seeds will usually sink(not always), should germinate in 24 - 48 hours

I have always just got a flannel, folded it in half. put it on a plate, placed the seeds on it, folded the flannel over the seeds. soaked it. place another plate on top, and popped it in the airing cupboard.
voila!
I should mention that, although I have only germinated and planted 18 dope seeds, I have been a keen gardener for years. It is from my experience as a 'normal' gardener that I offer you advice.
I forgot to mention, if your seeds fail to germinate it is normally because the outer shell is too thick to allow moisture to enter.
either, using a scalpel, cut away the outer skin layer by layer intil you can see the white inside. Or use sandpaper to achieve the same result.
I know it sounds risky doing such a drastic thing to a little seed, but believe me, it does work.

My favorite way to germ is to go to wal-mart buy a sprout box that comes with the peat moss waffers.
First you take a small cup fill it with water and let it set for 24 hours in open air and also soak your wafers for 24 hours.
Then put your seeds in the cup to soak for a day. Insert the seeds pointy end into the dirt and cover them, only put em in around 1/4 inch deep.
Also remember seeds can take up to two weeks depending on age to germ. If its been longer than that carefully scrape the top dirt tell you reach the seed
and see if its cracked. If it is leave it and put it under a light it will respond now that it is uncovered.
After the seed sprouts do not over water.. let the soil dry first
