Alex Grey 2009 Wall Calendar 4 reviews
Amber Lotus Publishing, 2008
Grey Days
More and more I am beginning to understand the ineffectiveness of words. As much as I love to write and read and study the deeper "truths" that many a master have offered, I realize that they are just words...symbols...the Course in Miracles would say that "Words are but symbols twice removed..." In Truth, Truth cannot be written about or spoken about but can only be experienced.
I think ...

Jorge Cervantes
Van Patten Publishing, 2006
Outstanding Read, Produce Monster Plants
I went from a solo plant, maybe an oz harvest last year, to a harvest I can't even mention on here this year. I bought this book in January and read it cover to cover, what I learned has changed my technique, my appreciation, and my SUCCESS RATE!!!!!!! Cop the DVD's too, you won't be able to watch em just once, I guarantee. Buy this book, learn something, and enjoy a great harvest.
It just ...

The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead (Citadel Underground) 22 reviews

Citadel, 2000
Tomorrow Never Knows
Since there is so much talk about the Beatles song, Tomorrow Never Knows, I have decided to use it as the 'working title' of this review.
We don't know what tomorrow will bring. It is a bit audacious on our part to even think that there might even be a tomorrow because all supposed tomorrows are simply extensions of our today.
I picked this book up in a used bookstore in San Francisco. I ...

The Official High Times Pot Smokers Handbook: Featuring 420 Things to do When You're Stoned7 reviews
David Bienenstock, High Times Magazine Editors
Chronicle Books, 2008
A Fresh Pot-pourri
As the head of a national marijuana reform organization, I've read A LOT of books about marijuana. This one ranks up there as one of the most fun and informative. Who better to lay out the various elements of marijuana than David Bienenstock and the folks at High Times? This book has tons -- or should I say kilos? -- of information on marijuana culture, politics, activism, entertainment, and ...

Pihkal: A Chemical Love Story35 reviews
Alexander Shulgin, Ann Shulgin
Transform Press, 1991
Highly analytical, relevant and a record of reality......
I purchased PIHKAL from Amazon and read it in it's entirety.
The most poignant aspect of this book reveals that as we are organic machines, our consciousness is just another chemically induced perception and therefore only one valid reality predisposed by evolution for survival.
Shulgin's Genius is honed with such objectivity, innocence, dedication and clarity that he is able to both ...

So much Diversity, so Little time
This book is a good piece to just leave out on your coffee table and let visitors pick up. It's not hard to let the hours fall away just looking through all of the different artists and all of their different works.

Whaazup!? Is it 4:20 already? Time to wake and bake!
Being a young man with an abusive atheist father and a mom that ran out on me when I was 3, I have always had this huge void in my life. When I was a pup I would fill this void by stealing things and engaging in the destruction of other people's property!
In middle school I got violent. I would pick on the kids that were smaller then me ...

Dharma Punx 26 reviews
Noah Levine
HarperOne, 2004
Theraputic, entertaining and insightful
Dharma Punx is a raw, first-hand memoir which I am convinced is authentic, unlike certain other "memoirs" recently exposed as made-up fiction.
This book finally lets me into the mindset of the street punks I routinely encountered growing up in Berkeley - peers of mine who seemingly chose to be homeless. This book also provides excellent references to Buddhist resources (retreats, scholars, ...

Funny and Very Creative Vandalism
I have this book on my desk. Every loves it and I think its very creative and it approaches graffiti as an art rather and in a different point of view. Banksy must be a very smart or weird guy.

Your Brain Is God10 reviews
Timothy Leary
Ronin Publishing, 2001
Philosophy through confrontation with oneself...
As substance induced psychedelia became almost a sweeping religion in the 60s certain great minds emerged that tried to conceptualise the goings on of that era and form them into new philosophies made of an amalgam of Eastern teachings, ancient western cosmotheories and modern realisations.
Among the many in that effort was T.Leary. Most of his books are known to the lay public as nothing ...

D.A.P./Iconoclast, 2005
Great pictures, great read
Its definately worth $25.17, or whatever price theyve stuck on it by now. Its includes pictures of, and interesting stories about a few of the Beautiful Losers aswell as full pages of artwork (in color). Its no picture book either, in addition to the stories, its got the histories of various subcultures that influenced the artists (skateboarding, graffiti, etc.) So it'll keep you busy for a ...

Arthur Veno
Allen & Unwin, 2004
Pretty darn good
This book is one of the few that I have read that didn't have the sensationalistic jargon attached to it that so many other's of it's type often do. It was just a good, solid and informative read. Although I feel that the author defenitely has/had an agenda, it was, in my opinion still a well written tome. It was also refreshing to get the view from the other side. If you are interested in ...

Shirley Halperin, Steve Bloom
Abrams Image, 2008
I'm the pot genius now
I bought this book once I heard it being advertised on 107.7 The End as one of the best marijuana books around. Each page has new, interesting information and a lot of it is related to celebrity stoners. Each day you can find something new in the book, and all my friends are in awe of the book and love to sit and read it. GREAT BOOK
