Revolution in Cannabis
State of the art in pot usage
This is a very important book, but it's mistitled. It should be called "The Cannabis Revolution."

It's amazing that imbibers know little or nothing about say, vaporizers. Their pot consciousness is where mine was in the '60s -- the "toke and choke" mentality.

Have you noticed that Google is acting more and more like a stupid marketing/advertising company lately? It's one of the side effects of not really being a search engine company and seems to fly in the face of Sergey Brin's Google rule #1: "Don't be evil".
