 So much of a variety! April 27, 2008
This book covers so much about pot culture. It is great to have around and just look through and read about anything you need to know about the culture. I love this book. I bought two copies when it first came out...one for me and one for my best friend. I've just ordered two more copies for two of my other friends. I consider it a must-have coffee table book for people into this type of stuff. There is such a great variety of information, from definitions to pages dedicated to great musicians, artists, and entertainers, to how-to guides.
Great Book for Pro to Amatuer !! April 23, 2008
I love books about Cannabis, Cultivation, Hash, basically anything drug related catches my interest, So this book was a must have for me. After seeing this book featured in one of my favorite shows "Weeds"(When Silas Starts working with his mom he is seen reading "pot Culture") I had to do some reasearch. When the book arrived at my door, For once I was hoping it wasn't "Playboy". "Pot Culture: The A - Z Guide to stoner language and life" the title meant to me that it was going to read like a dictionary of everything Ganja related. Well...After, consuming 2 space cakes, 6 Glass Bong hits, 2 shots of tanqueray and 10 chocolate chip cookies (no THC included) I started reading. To make a long story short this book missed out on a few terms that are very important but, wont interfere with the quality of this read. I loved the celebrity How-To-Do's with Redman, Rob Thomas, Jonah Hill, Steve-O and more. I really recommend purchasing this book for the Stoned and Un-stoned Reader.

It was appropriate that my copy of "Pot Culture: The A-Z Guide to Stoner Language and Life" showed up on the very day that Representative Barney Frank filed a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of pot. Steve Bloom's book lavishly and lovingly demonstrates that pot culture is completely interwoven into American culture and that stoners, far from being at society's fringes, have made important contributions to our music, literature, arts, and even science. (One of the book's rare omissions, however, is Carl Sagan and his PBS series, Cosmos.)
For many readers (especially children of the sixties), "Pot Culture" will be a trip down memory lane. For others, it will illustrate the impact that stoner culture is having on today's headlines and cultural trends. In either case, it's a thoroughly entertaining look at an the significant and enduring influence that pot and its legions of aficionados have been exerting on our larger cultural environment for decades.
