5.0 out of 5 stars Cannabible 2 Rocks!, June 8, 2004

By

This review is from: The Cannabible 2 (Paperback)

When I first received this book I was very impressed by the cover.
Once you hold it in your hand you will understand. The printing
process used on the front cover has a glossy photo on a matte
background, and this creates a beautiful interplay of light on the
cover image. The back cover also amazed me, as there are extremely
high quality photos of unusually well grown buds.

The microphotography throughout the book is exceptionally clear, and
extremely valuable to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the
maturation process of cannabis trichomes.

Throughout the book there are anectdotes and references to people
that have played a prominent role in the cannabis reform movement,
which I find very interesting. For example, the photos of Eddy Lepp's
garden were on such a grand scale that I laughed out loud when I saw
them. Unfortunately, the garden was raided, but Eddy was never
charged.

The scope of the genetics covered in Cannabible 2 is not only broad
but contemporary and relevant to present day cultivation. The text
and details on the strains is very well written, with clear concise
explanations of lineage. I even agree with the author's assesment of
some of my favorite strains, Cinderella and Apollo. It is rare that I
find such a like minded sativa lover as is the author, Jason King.

I own cannabis cultivation books all the way back to 1977, and I can
say without hesitation that Cannabible 2 has a place among the very
best of my library. Not because it will teach you everything you need
to grow, but rather because it will show you what good looks like.
The pictures, and the layout of the images are extremely powerful. It
is obvious that the author is looking with an eye that sees past the
surface of his subject. It is hard to quantify, but the sense of
quality and care in the compilation of this volume is clearly
tangible.

4.0 out of 5 stars The scriptures of Pot, January 2, 2004

By

(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)   

This review is from: The Cannabible 2 (Paperback)

The author is a marijuana enthusiast and great photographer. In this, the second Cannabible, he continues his quest to document the world's various marijuana strains in a humorous text enhanced by his acclaimed microscopic photography.

He writes engagingly on all aspects of the plant, from leaves to buds, and lists his favorite types whilst providing information on the use of this botanical for various purposes, including stimulating creativity. He also described the effects, aromas and tastes of about 200 varieties.

In addition, he investigates the smoking paraphernalia, medical uses of the plant, the tolerance factor and even the connection between chocolate and marijuana. The information is very thorough and detailed, making this book a valuable reference guide to the cultivator and user of this substance.

The Cannabible 2 is a most impressive read and the photographs are beautiful. The book will appeal to marijuana afficionados and all those interested in psycho-active botanicals.
