All heads should get this!,
By GottaHugeWeenis (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spliffs: A Celebration of Cannabis Culture (Paperback)
I got this book in a clothing store at the local mall, thought it looked like it would be fun to flip through when i'm... umm, spliffed. Great book, better than i had even hoped for. The history is very well done, and i would say its much more fun to look through than say, my copy of the Cannabible. With all the colors and pictures, its definately great to read under the influence, or even sober! Would reccomend to anyone.
