I love this book. It is a guide to marijuana, containing high-quality photos and detailed information on each strain.

I am a daily 'pot' smoker and have a few other guides in my collection, and this is a great addition. I love the green-edged pages, especially, its a really fun detail that really makes the book pop! ( )

Let me be blunt...har har....this ia great little book (Except it's not little-little- it's a mid-sized) The first sentence in the book is: There has never 'been a better time to get high than right now' I can't verify this to be true, but I suppose if you were on the fence about it, it might help. Every picture tells a story, and there are a lot of strains, plus clear, concise photos and descriptions of their effects. It's a cool book. I don't partake, but am surrounded by those who do, so how impressed will they be when I start throwing around my newfound Pot knowledge? ( )

I received a copy of “Green A pocket guide to pot” by Dan Michaels as a member of The LibraryThing Early Reviewers program. It was an educational encyclopedia about strains of pot. Each strain is described by look, smell, effects and medical use and accompanied by a full page photograph taken by Erikk Chrostiansen. The book was very well designed and I was excited to receive a copy. The photographs were professional and beautifully taken. ( )

The only time I remember getting high was a contact high from secondhand THC at a UB40 concert. I was in the nosebleeds of an indoor arena. When the band hit the stage, the guy in front of us lit up a blunt and blew smoke back in our faces. The rest of the Marijuana smoke collected around us in the upper loft. We all got happier. My buddy, who had hyper extended his knee playing softball earlier that day, got up and danced (he had to wear a brace and use crutches for the next six months). A group of us went out to eat afterwards and we giggled a lot.

So suffice to say, I know almost nothing about pot. This is a problem, because I live in Oregon where there are now more pot shops than grocery stores, and my town is surrounded by high fenced farms. I figure I should know something, even if it is just to make conversation with the guy at the Minute Mart.

Lucky for me, I procured a free copy of Green: A Pocket Guide to Pot from a Library Thing giveaway. Dan Michael and photographer Erik Christiansen went to the trouble of photographing a variety of strains of Marijuana, describing the look, smell, effects and medical uses of each strain. They also have some introductory articles on cannabis, flavor variety and how to pick your pot (three c's, like picking out an engagement ring: color, cut, crystals).

The thing to note about this, it is a pocket guide. And there are 352 pages. You need some big ass pockets for this. Who still wears cargo pants? Potheads.

If you want a guidebook to help you identify the various strains of Marijuana, then hey this is it. But it doesn't tell you which buds to pair with which bag of Doritos. ( )

I received this book and was excited about it. Very well written and good quality pictures. Has a lot of information I didn't know. Thank you for sending me this book. ( )
