Evan Keliher (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 31, 2003

Satire and humor helps you learn all about marijuana as medicine from an old-timer who smoked pot every day for over 40 years to cure his glaucoma. The fact that he can still see out of one eye proves pot works at least 50% of the time.

Learn how to grow pot, protect your crop from thieves, roll proper joints, avoid arrest, get a medical marijuana ID card with phony illnesses, drive stoned safely,
raise your IQ, and much more. Google Grandpa Ganja for more info.

More About the Author

Hi!

I'm 79 years old, a high school dropout turned retired teacher, a Marine veteran of the Korean War, and a happily married man for 59 years (my wife made me put that in).

A glaucoma patient since '62, I've smoked marijuana to save my vision for over 40 years with no ill effects and I know the pot works at least half the time as I can still see out of one eye. In fact, I smoked so much pot to save my sight that I developed X-ray vision and was arrested for seeing thru girls dresses.

I've written stage plays, sitcoms, screenplays, and books and all is humor/comedy/satire. Google Grandpa Ganja for more info; I'm all over the 'Net. Or check my website at grandpaspotbook.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your average pot smokers handbook., December 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Grandpa's Marijuana Handbook: A User Guide for Ages 50 & Up (Paperback)

If you're a Senior, or know a Senior who is frightened or otherwise distrustful of marijuana, get this book. First, it's hilarious. If you bought this book for nothing more than a good chuckle, you'd get your moneys worth, but it's far more than that. Mr. Keliher has a Doctorate in Education, has been married 46 years and is a Korean Vet...he's also had glaucoma for 30 years and he's treated it successfully with marijuana. As a one himself, he *knows* what it's like to be a Senior Citizen; the hurdles; the stress; the aches and pains. In his book he explains, with an excellent sense of humour and surprisingly apt examples, how marijuana can improve a Senior Citizens Quality of Life. I loved it.

This review is from: Grandpa's MARIJUANA Handbook (Paperback)

Grandpa's Marijuana Handbook deals with the subject of pot and its use as medicine. It's also entertaining and will elicit a good laugh even as it enlightens.

Learn how to roll a proper joint, where and how to acquire pot, how to evade the narcs, which ailments pot will cure (all of 'em), the risks involved in toking (none), the use of bongs, vaporizers, hookahs, etc.

Granda Ganja has smoked pot every day for 34 years to treat glaucoma and he knows the pot works at least half the time as he can still see out of one eye. Pot will cure almost anything except actual death. If you do have an aiment pot can't cure, it will make you forget you have it.

And much more.
