Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Sweet ass! A 200ish-page book about pot and pot-related stuff. Can you believe somebody paid these guys to publish a whole book about The Chronic? Man, that is so sick! The Marijuana-Logues started as an Off-Broadway show, consisting of these three guys, Arj Barker, Doug Benson, and Tony Camin sitting on stools and elucidating and illustrating the wisdom of weed. Since you probably never got motivated enough to actually go see the show, now is your chance to enjoy such gems as, “Some people say marijuana is a crutch—yeah, crutches help people walk. We think that’s a good thing.” In this sturdy volume (not made from hemp paper, so don’t try to smoke it), you’ll find many highly creative essays on the virtues of that fine fine plant, as well as some herben poetry, “high-ku,” marijuana fun facts, marijuana fun snacks, and other up-here stuff [point to your head].

Some choice buds from The Marijuana-Logues:

ARJ BARKER’S FIRST TIME
The first time I smoked pot, I was in the back seat of my older brother’s car. It must have been some pretty good weed, too, because I’m an only child.

THINGS YOU WILL NEVER HEAR DOUG BENSON SAY WHEN HE IS OFFERED SOME MARIJUANA
No.

FEMALE COMPOTABILITY by Tony Camin
My girlfriend thinks that I smoke too much pot. I, on the other hand, don’t think I smoke enough pot, because if I did, I’d be finished. And I’m not. Look, we all have our vices: I like to smoke a little weed; she likes to feed the baby. Different strokes for different folks.

5.0 out of 5 stars don't believe that guy's review...this book rules, June 27, 2006

By	Lady C (moscow, Idaho USA) - See all my reviews

okay, obviously the guy who wrote the other review HAS NEVER SMOKED WEED. this book is a great read for those who still partake, used to but don't (or most likely, can't), or have friends who do (and have seen them do some of this stuff described in the book). i HIGH-ly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars OH YEAH!!! MARIJUANA. . ., December 3, 2007

By	M. N. C. Mulero (Caguas, PR Puerto Rico) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is so good,so true, and so funny! The Cannabis plant has been used for so many things since the beginning of human history, there should be no reason for it to not be legal. Cannabis has even been used as a very sustainable and effective construction material, is a more sustainable fiber for paper and clothes than any other plant, is a good souce of everything, even proteins and lipids (from its seeds), it could be used medicinally, and the most important, it is a sustainable crop. With all the environmental and social problems the world is suffering right now someone should put some thought on this plant.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's funny because it's true, April 6, 2009

By	M. Dodson (Tampa, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have seen Doug Benson live, and have enjoyed the comedic stylings of Arj Barker for a few years. Unfortunately, I have heard less from the other author of this book, but his essays are some of the funniest. This book is thin, a quick, but enjoyable read. You will most definitely be nodding your head and saying "That is so true!" the whole time you are reading this. For a light, funny read, it's definitely worth checking out.
