this book has some good recipies, although the recipie to make marijuana butter is inaccurate. the book states that you must let the butter mixture simmer for 2 1/2 hours, but I believe, the potency is 10+ stronger if you let the mixture simmer for 24-48 hours. Also, it is always a good thing to add some buds in with the leaf.

The Marijuana Herbal Cookbook is a completely cool cookbook. Author Tom Flowers explains the reasons to cook, and how eating is different from smoking. He also advises on dosage and the treatment of an overdose, something I'm sure is handy to know. If you lack the knowledge of how to prep pot before you cook with it, this book will be of help to you. My all-time favorite thing about this book however is the plethora of recipes for every type of food (There is also a section on using marijuana medically with many more recipes to follow.), including desert. The stony hemp carrot cake sure does sound good about now.

I first bought this book in Sydney (yeh as in 2000 olympic games Sydney)cost me about $20 odd dollars and on the way back to Adelaide (some 1,800ks away)i sat in a greyhound reading it. When i first got the book, i though 'very thin book' but hey what this book contained made me wish the bus driver would get his finger out and get me back to South Australia so i could get stuck into some green cooking...Look if you want a cook book with a difference this is it, cookies, hash cakes, cannabis stew, bud pie, even (god bless his little cooking fingers)hash coffee, cannabis milkshakes, i mean the list just goes on...Look its a very thin book, but what you get for your money, you can cook up a storm (or should that be cyclone as we say here in Australia)enough to have you ripped all year long...Thanx Tom you have done it again...

Great book, awesome recipes, and happy feelings all around ;)
Highly recommended.
Measurements and descriptions were easy to understand and follow. But, probably better for a more "experienced" chef.

i have been working with cannabis edibles and other consumables for several decades. when i first got this book about 13 years ago, i was elated at how much excellent information was provided in such a small book. the entire first section of the book - which discusses various aspects of the plant, measurements, how to prepare it in different ways, etc - is a priceless reference. the recipes themselves are pretty good, but i found the most value from all the other useful information. i started making cannabis tinctures about 7 years ago, and i hadn't even realized (or had forgotten) that this book even talks about that! (albeit briefly and by far not the best i have seen in that area)

i think this book is a must have for anyone that is just getting started using cannabis in ways other than smoking.

I purchased this book and it was seized by Australian Customs under subsection 203B(2) of the Customs Act 1901.
Specifically, the Customs officer wrote that "Pursuant to Regulation 4A(1A)(d) of the Australian Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations the items are prohibited imports and are therefore forfeited under section 229(1)(b) of the Australian Customs Act 1901".
I hope the Customs officer is enjoying these herbal recipes.
Some people have no sense of humour. I was in Europe on holiday, went to Amsterdam for 4 days, and like just about everyone who visits Amsterdam, had to have a look at the Hash Museum, and a Hash bar (where I did not even have a cup of tea), and the other less salubrious, but interesting districts of Amsterdam.
I bought this book as a novelty in the Amsterdam Hash museum, something to read for fun, and to get a laugh from.
Some countries take themselves very seriously, and are paranoid about a whole range of things, unfortunately Australia is one of them. I am still proud to be Australian though, and love living here. But man, the Dutch sure know how to relax, I have to give them that, and they have a cool sense of humour.

Nice to read but the final product will taste really bad. All the reciepts look good on paper but when recreated are just terrible. nothing but complaints. Maybe Mr. Flowers should stick to growing tips.

This book, like many others pertaining to this subject matter on the market today, is outdated. I have purchased quite a few books written by various authors on this particular subject matter and have come to the conclusion that if you want current, VALID, information it is best to check the publication date prior to purchasing.

As a rule of thumb, if the book was published prior to 2006, don't waste your time and money. As always, there are exceptions to this rule, but they are few and very far between.
