Musician's twice shunning hemp plant CANNA

How does that parse please? The twice must be BIS but the rest eludes me.

bis is a musical instruction to play a section twice; cannabis is indian hemp

Doh! Thanks, chrise.

I wonder of this was set by the same horror who set the Jumbo this Saturday, they seem have have both swallowed the same thesaurus (answers include bardolater, canna, pica and upsilon)

Can’t parse these.

6d Try to find faithful person by word of mouth (4)
Seek?

7d Composer runs East German province, largely, (7)
Rossini?

6d homophone of Sikh
7d R (runs) + Ossi (citizen oft Germany) + NI (Northern Ireland, 6 of the 9 counties of Ulster, hence largely)

It should say “citizen of East Germany”

For completeness, Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan are in Ulster but not Northern Ireland, though Unionists often use the terms interchangeably.

Thanks Quisling, so 'Ossi' can be added to the horrible obscurities in this puzzle. I wonder how many people in the UK have ever heard of it.
