    About this ebook

    Spliffs' offers a fun, accessible guide to everything you will need to know about dope and dope-smoking. The book begins with a short history on dope through history; the next two chapters provide guides to all the different types of grass and hash and to the various joint-rolling styles (both chapters feature specially commissioned, cut-to-white photos). Paraphernalia (from papers to pipes) is covered in the fourth chapter, while Chapter Five offers a fastmoving review of famous and infamous dopeheads through history, fictional as well as real-life. Chapter Six takes the reader on a guided tour of Amsterdam's famous headshops and cafes, and reviews the UK's own developing 'Cafe' scene. The final chapter reviews the debates about the dangers/benefits of dope-smoking. The book concludes with an extensive glossary of terms and bibliography. Spliffs is produced in association with the world's leading magazine in the subject area, High Times. As well as the commissioned identification and 'how-to' photos, the book features many archive pictures.

      Entirely rewritten to include anecdote of mis-spent youth for which I have thoroughly repented as you shall see.

      Good gift - for the right person, or the wrong person, or the person in the middle. Hey man, it's all love, right? Doesn't matter where you are, its all cool, chilled, yeah... Don't bogart that joint, pass the spliff man...

      Warning: stoner stuff nowI used to have a group of friends who were very much into music and philosophy and used marijuana and lsd to fuel their interest. But you have to do something for light relief and so once a week we would have a competition for the most creative way to inhale the holy smoke.

      There were vegetable bongs, 16-skin joints, genuine hubbly-bubblies, all manner of things, it was something to look forward to on a Thursday night. Until Chris did his thing and that was that, couldn't be topped.

      What he did was get a load of pvc piping, about 8' of it and insert the spliff at one end. The recipient covered the other end with their palm, patting it back and forth to fill the tube with smoke. When it was full, the pipe was in the mouth and the smoke rushed into the lungs. The person inevitably coughed and fell on the floor in pain, but recovered into a sort of beatific happiness almost instantly.

      But that was that, it couldn't be topped and no one wanted to think up anything else that might be even more painful, even for a rush like that, so the competition ended without a word.

      Wicked eh? Oh I do so repent...

      Everything you ever wanted to know about pot in one easy to read book. It starts with the history of cannabis, its farming and cultivation, and practical, medicinal, religious, and recreational usages. It introduces you to the "big names" in the history of cannabis culture, the growers, the philosophers, the poets, and the pop-culture icons. It talks about the reasons behind the early criminalization of marijuana in the US and the current laws. (This book was published in 2004 so it is somewhat out of date about individual states but not so much about federal laws.) It shows you how to roll a joint, use a bong, and make your own pipe, and it gives recipes for brownies, cookies, and "space butter." It's a fantastic introduction that is funny while treating subjects such as religious practices and legality with great seriousness.
