Review

"For the Pot Smoker Who Has Everything . . . [Author Jason] King no doubt knows his stuff." - Arkansas Democrat-Gazette


Product Description

Astounded by the lack of books dedicated to the wondrous variety of his favorite plant, author Jason King set out on a four-year mission to document the world’s finest cannabis. Traveling around North America, Hawaii, and Europe, he captured over 1,500 strains on film (benevolently sampling a good number as well). Here in THE CANNABIBLE, images of the best 200 varieties are included alongside engaging and informative descriptions of their aromas, flavors, effects, and origins. Study this holy writ and figure out whether Purple Haze, Magic Kush, and the “P” is da kine or da shwag; learn which strains will give you the munchies or the wobbles; discover how appropriately named are Doc Kevorkian, Black Widow, and Cat Piss; and find out which strains are good for productivity, creativity, or just sitting on the couch, staring into space. With over 400 mind-blowing, full-color photographs of the world’s most beautiful nugs, this book will have you on the floor, bowing to the mighty bud-dha.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite what I thought, January 31, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Cannabible (Paperback)
While the Big Book of Buds is more or less a seed catalog, the Cannabible is instead a catalog of buds available if you happen to have connisseur connections around the world, plus some of the typical Amsterdam coffeehouse strains. A fair number of these strains are unavailable as seed or are extinct, thus valuable as a curiousity or for history's sake, but I guess it left me wanting information about strains which you could actually grow out. However, the coverage of the 'dam product is useful.

He is a firm advocate of organic grown and carefully cured buds and I respect his lack of tolerance for quick cured hydro. Occasionally I think his focus on taste gets in the way of his description of the effects.

Praise is due for his superb history of cannabis and its spread through the modern world in addition to a very well documented history of modern cannabis breeding and seedbanks over the past 25 years or so. His views on what's happening to the gene pool and the need to return to more sativa based genetics were interesting and informative.

Photography was also excellent, with some amazing microphotography of trichomes, although a million pictures of bud doesn't really do much for me. I would personally like to see more pictures of what the full grown plants actually look like as well as more detailed descriptions of what the experience of each is like. The bulk of the book is pictures of mostly dried buds with sparse descriptions.

On a couple of occasions he lapses into some stuff that is a bit new-agey for me, but overall I believe he has kept a fairly level head.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, informative, perhaps too critical of certain...., January 23, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Cannabible (Paperback)
I have seen many people attacking the Big Book of Buds as being a seed catalog in a books clothes...then saying check out cannabible. I bought the BB of B and agree, it was a glorified seed catalog...the cannabible is 1000% more informative and a more meaningful approach to reviewing the strains is explored - there is also a ton of useful info on storage, different apparatus etc - a very necessary coffee-table book for all "users". One aspect I found a little off in this book however were open attacks on amsterdam bud - I agree with certain points, but the book seemed to attack nether-bud and totally advocate west-coast USA bud...instead of a glorifed seed catalog, it seemed at some points like a west coast sales pitch - I've experienced the dam-stock and do not totally agree..

never-the-less a great book and really, is a must have, the best book in its catagory.

5.0 out of 5 stars * Smoke-rings of aloha *, December 26, 2001
Sitting on my coffee table - in the rainforest of a jungle town - on a snowcapped and smoking volcano - is my new copy of
Jason King's "The Cannabible". I am in awe...

The Cannabible is an up-close-and-personal look at the world's most fascinating, useful and controversial plant...cannabis...through the appreciative eyes and lens of an extra-ordinary writer/photographer.

Like in the Holy Bible, where so-and-so begat so-and-so, Jason has followed the dots of cannabis plant genetics and creates a linear history of this sacramental species like a modern-day Charles Darwin.

His astounding photos are shot in such exquisite detail with lighting so complimentary that you might think your fingers will get sticky from the resin as you turn the pages!

This Marco Polo of pot has followed the trail of seed-carriers, cultivators and smugglers from ancient Asia to contemporary Amsterdam, and from high-tech city greenhouses to camo, tree-top grows in Hawai'i, all in search of some of the most heavenly 'highs' on earth.

If you enjoy cannabis, you'll enjoy the artistry, science and philosophy of Jason King in The Cannabible.
