A Great Book

I was proud to give it to my family and friends this Christmas. If there's anything you want to know about the cannabis issue, it's here! I hope this writer keeps up the good work!

Canada's best book on cannabis culture

As a hemp lover, I've got to say that I've read all the books on the subject and this is among the top three I've seen!

An informative read.

A great, thorough history of the misunderstood plant. Pick it up.

This is an excellent book

It is obviously a labor of love. The writing is great, the information is compelling. A truly worthwhile read.

An excellent book, full of life and very well-written

Maybe the anonymous poster above mixed up his books, but I thought this was the best book on hemp I have ever seen. The history section was clearly written and concise. the ueses of hemp section was extremely well written and a real eye-opener. I will look for more books by thie very talented author.
